Ignore this this is not only true, but misleading.Klonan wrote:The algorithm has been tweaked...
Previously upload speed didn't matter, because all players paused while the game downloaded,
However now the server has to continue playing the game while the connecting player downloads,
Meaning you cannot have extreme download speed, as it would choke the bandwidth and cause connection issues for the other peers
Experiencing the same (download speed) issue:kovarex wrote:Anyway, the problem is, that it doesn't grow fast enough or doesn't start on big enough speed? Or is it that it stops growing at speed lower than you would expect?
I'd say, all of it. The map I'm currently playing on is around 20 Mb and Factorio starts on too low speed (400 Kb/s) that grows at the constant speed of +100 Kb/s per sec and ends up at 1.5 Mb/s when the map is fully received, I suppose it would grow further if the map is big enough. I think it's just weird because I'm downloading the map from my own machine, there's zero packet loss and everything. I'm on Debian stretch amd64 if it matters..kovarex wrote:Anyway, the problem is, that it doesn't grow fast enough or doesn't start on big enough speed?

I increased the initial speed + increased the way it grows/slows down when downloading, so it should work better in 0.14.2. I also attempted to limit the upload speed on the server when other peer latencies start to grow, so it might get actually get worst. We shall see when the update is out (we just started the release script).rkfg wrote:I'd say, all of it.

Might you consider a command line option to set the server's max K/sec it'll use for uploading to clients? (Combined total upload bandwidth being used by all people downloading.) Then someone who knows they can spare 5MB/s for uploading maps safely can just set that.kovarex wrote: I increased the initial speed + increased the way it grows/slows down when downloading, so it should work better in 0.14.2.

I didn't only consider it, but I implemented that.roy7 wrote:Might you consider a command line option to set the server's max K/sec it'll use for uploading to clients?

Fantastic, thanks!kovarex wrote: I didn't only consider it, but I implemented that.
If you specify the max upload speed manually, it will use that value. If you don't specify it, it will try to kind of guess it.
It can be specified either in the server config file when starting headless server or in the gui when starting it in game.
