Hello everyone,
Today i am coming to you with a question a bit out of the ordinary, i am like most of you a private server owner and really enjoy this administration of a DayZ Server ! I am using DayZ CC to host my server on my OWN computer at home ! I know this is not recommended but i'm not ready to pay 30€ a month to host from a dedicated and have a community of 2-3 players a day
Anyways, coming to my problem than my question ! The server itself is running perfectly fine with many mods installed, the server is not having any lag issue and runs constantly over 48fps with players online (as much as 8 players ones). So the problem i have noticed and this strangely only happens to ME playing from the machine that is hosting the server is that i get such intense server lag that it becomes impossible for me to actually interact with anything ingame (Inventory changes, loot spawn, zombie spawn and aggros), well anything that would allow a normal gameplay. Now you could ask me if this is not happening to every player on the server but apparently not since i have asked my few players about it and none told me they had those issues ! So this is clearly only happening to me playing from the machine that is hosting the server !
Now my question : Is there anyway i could somehow fix this issue about me and only me getting server lags when playing from the hosting machine ? I guess the problem is obviously from the fact that the server doesn't like having to run a client and a server on the same machine but since i do not have a choice at the moment i have to continue that way. The funny thing as well is that i have noticed while playing with those few players that if they were close to me, the loot spawn would work and the zombie spawn also (normal since they don't have those lags) but than as soon as i find myself alone, i basically end up walking in an empty world...
Anyways, enough said and explained, now i'm just hoping to see a solution come up from one of you <3
One idea i had in mind but havn't tried yet is hosting the server from a Virtual Machine on my OWN computer and than play from the main session (Windows) ? If i'm not stupid, since a virtual machine acts like as if it was a second computer, i guess that the server would therefore consider me as a true client playing from a different machine than the hosting machine ?
Cheers, SparxOne
