Atlasprime

Hello All, I wish to share a new server that went up just moments ago. A modest 3x3 sandbox with 10x to most rates. (XP, Taming, Gathering). Looking forward to meeting some new folks while crafting a server you may call home. Happy to answer any questions you may have.

Someone posted a 32 core xeon server a week or so ago. Atlas only recognized 20. I'm not sure what he might have been doing wrong but there may be a limitation for Atlas. If that is the case would need to turn to virtualization for the Ryzen as well. So very tempted to build a new rig. I think its the Ryzen 3 series im waiting to see. Only problem is justifying moving up from a 1080. Doesnt seem to be a value move lol

Too rich for my blood lol. This isnt the next gen of AMD CPUs is it? I feel like I heard the upcoming AMDs are gonna give intel a run.

Very nice! Thank you for that info!

Aye, I'm familiar with i7/i9 vs xeon applications. Just didnt realize the core clock was THAT important. Raw processing power of non xeons has always been better. Also agreed on ECC ram. Didnt really cross my mind as needing it. Curious, what kind of usage are you seeing on the 9900k and under what conditions? (Number of grids and players playing). Id also be curious about system power consumption.

I did. Seems to be fine. Ill let you know if I discover otherwise lol

Bump-Ski

I think we are beating a dead horse at this point. You guys already made a good point that HT is garbage. My googling seems to reinforce that ideal. Again, will the 9900k perform well. Yes. Is it wasted. Also still yes. At this point you are trying to say the HT of the i9 is worth its addl price tag. It isnt. Not my words. Your original point is... sure... valid versus Xeons. Ill take your word for it that core speed is the bees knees for Ark/Atlas. But why not a 9700k i7? Basically the same as the 9900k but cheaper and not HT. Just need the cores right? save yourself some money. Lastly. Fair point. You guys have taught me that Xeons are inferior to i7 series so I appreciate the take away. As to how inferior... I'd like to see some numbers. I wish I was rich so I could just tinker benchmarks all day lol. Too bad servers are saturated right now. If it became apparent I needed an i7/i9 host id totally splurge but man its tough to get some people. Cheers to you guys and best wishes!

Having this issue now when attempting to construct walls on my ship.

Power Stone Quests / End Boss / Fountain now enabled.

Have you created firewall rules for all ports involved as well are forwarded all said ports on your router?

If your exported grid image names are named correctly and in the jpg extension. Id check to ensure seamlessdata port is open. I see rcon using 27000 in the server manager but the dataport in ur config is also on 27000. Mine at least are different 27000 is my dataport and 27020 is my rcon port.

Anyways if we wanna talk about the xeon cpu. I agree they arnt meant for game servers. They are meant as enterprise level business solutions. So far however they have performed well for me and at a very moot cost. So thus, bang for the dollar is there and refutes being "dead wrong".

Fair to say i7/i9 perform better for ark. Never disagreed. The 9900k is still overkill. A 9700 wouldve peformed better for the money as you say the hyper threading is useless. I remain skeptical my xeons at 3.6 are gonna be a problem. If it happens ill admit im wrong on that point. At under 300 dollars this entire thing has been doing just fine. It peaked at 80 players and no one noticed a hiccup. Again my original troll on this thread is the 9900k is overkill. My server is irrelevant to that point.

Yes they are empty now. Yes there was also 100 people on a shity bloomfield i7 i initially used at launch. (First gen i7 cause i know ud have to look it up). So no, you dont need raw power to run ue4 servers. I learned this with ark and if u somehow hadnt noticed, this is basically the same game. Look we dont need to compare dicks. Is the 9900k gonna be a boss are serving. Yes. All im saying is that box is 550 plus what... 100 bare min for a mobo. Ur gonna need ddr4 ram... and for a 4x3 at least 50gb would be good so lets say another 400 for that. Whatever psu, case. Lets just call it 1000 bux. Im sure this 9900k has more money in it... A older xeon box meant for server computing is gonna offer waaaaay more bang for the buck. And this is where we arrive at my notion that this 9900k is wasted. Am i still wrong? I considered comparing usage with you but i keep rerealizing the investment differences. There is no argument...

I remember when i tunnel visioned on a number. Architecture is everything.

Unfortunately i believe this is an issue with the redis database. Id wager if you cleared ur database ud be good but that means player data goes bye bye

Im not arguing the 9900k does well. Price performance just isnt worth it when applied as a server. If you dont understand that then its you that needs a knowledge transfer. 550 for the cpu alone give me a break lol. Enjoy bro.

Its happened twice to me. Not fatal error resulting but it was apparent the redis database derailed somewhere. This game has a lot of issues and ive come to terms that its just going to be the case till we approach a more stable 1.0 release. (a real... 1.0 release... lol )

Not to be insensitive or trolly... I mean i was considering a new build the last couple of days with a 9900k. But its just a fact that the value isnt there. If you want to host a server spend the same amount of money on the hp z620 workstation... E series xeon. 100gb of ram. 600-700 bones. Thats ur 9900k and mobo right there minus the rest.

Except it doesnt actually matter cause its still more than enough performance while its still a fact that a 9900k is utterly wasted as a server. actually price/perf is def not in favor of a 9900k in any regard. its the high end consumer offering. Its not 2080ti bad but somewhere between 2080 and 2080ti. It leans novelty and bragging rights before any sort of efficient solution.

That poor 9900k should never be wasted on a server 2 threads per core / 4gb ram per instance. Currently running a 3x3. its using 35gb of ram atm and just under 50% CPU on a dual socket 12C/24T blade.
