Can setting the affinity for each server be added as a feature. This would be extremely useful as alot of the servers actually run properly only when a specific core or cpu is set.

Hey,

Interesting idea.

Which games are you talking about that are more happy to be assigned to a specific CPU?

Also, I would assume the affinity would to be say 'span over 1 processor' - instead of 'Goto processor 1', as more than a few servers many spawn that want affinity assignment and you wouldnt want them all to lock onto the same processor I assume.

Right, setting a specific processor or core would be ideal. I have noticed on my server that CounterStrike Source servers and BF2 maintain a steady FPS if they are set to a specific Processor or Core. I guess first you can implement it so people can set it manually. Eventually you could take the role of integrating an Intelligent Affinity feature which would

1. Direct servers to a processor or core that has less utilization dynamically (As a Processor/Core reaches its max it can be directed to the other)
2. Direct newly created servers to a Processor/Core that based on other server's affinity would balance utilization.

Hopefully this made sense, it's really late and my brain is fatigued

Thanks, ive noted this down in our request list to be looked over when we have some time.

You should know that some games will not work properly when you force a cpu/core to be used.
