Servers Starting server by new game. Starting server by new game.
3 replies Hello.
I am interesting if i'll start the server by a new game: it is not possible to be crashed, ddosed?
Or other players will lags(high ping) - except "Server"?
I can't start my server or even ddos it to see what would be happened so i am asking you.
Thanks. Hosting a server through "new game" option is just like you're hosting a server straight from your PC. The server will be exposed to DoS / (D)DoS related attacks which both could impact badly your machine resources and network though.
That wouldn't necessarily lead to instant crashing however your PC becomes slower and slower at the time when the attack is tough to handle. DC Admin Offline
A "new game" server is as vulnerable as any other server because it's technically the same thing.
Depending of the type of the attack it can be one of the scenarios:
An attack targeting the network connection: You will be able to play on normally but everyone else will start lagging, stop moving and then time out and get disconnected.
An attack causing high CPU load: What GeoB99 said. FPS drops and lag, leading to a bad experience for everyone. Players might even stay connected in this case but they will have higher pings. Okay, thank you both for explanation. You can close the topic.
