Server size

[amplify]

The server performance becomes really bad at 20 players, it's gotten to the point of being unplayable. Just checking on server performance in server selection shows its almost constantly at around 30%.

[ZERO]

Do not confuse late game performance of which this game always has bad performance to actual slot based performance. If you check average client fps in late game ns2 it dips well below 30 very often. This combined with high ping results in extensive packet delay to the server. In addition very poor entity programing in this game results in looping overloads when too many structures have been created and when AI units move. Unfortunately while recent patches have done nothing to improve game performance we can say that current game performance is around twice as good as it was 8 months ago.
