So if your server for examples is using 100% CPU with 200 bots your server can handle about 100 players. To test how much your server can handle for CPU usage, just start your server later in this guide with bots, A bot takes about 50% of player CPU usage, The warband server is Single Threaded which means if you have a multicore computer or server it will only use one core and won't use other cores if this one core is full. Remember that if you want to run Commander battles or any other bot game, that two bots count as 1 player in your bandwidth calculation.Ī server will take a lot of CPU load, especially once it hits above 60 players.ĬPU usage of a server raises exponentially with the player count, which means if 60 players are taking 60% of your cpu that 80 players might take 100%! If your calculated player count reaches around 20 players the amount of bandwidth needed per player will go up and probably take about 7 or 10 KB/s! so you need to turn the player count down a bit. One player takes about 5 KB/s so you take your value and divide it by 5 in my example that is 15.1 players which means our internet supports not more than 15 players. We need this value to calculate how many players your computer can support. We need to convert this value to KB/s (KiloBytes per second) use this calculator: Megabit to Kilobyte It is displayed in Mb/s (Mega bit per second) for example 0.59 Mb/s You need a proper connection to host a game, go to: and test your Upload bandwidth. Stable internet connection (Only if you host the server from your home)
