Dayz Epoch Panthera 3 Core Perfomance Suggestions

[The Hound]

I am running DayZ Epoch Panthera on a 3 core VDS on windows server 2008 R2. Just wondering if anyone had any recommended performance increases specific to Dayz and Arma. Am new to the whole dedicated server thing so any suggestions would help. Thanks in advance.

I would recommend assigning this process high priority through the Windows Task Manager. I've never specifically run a DayZ server, but I would recommend you try that as well as just running a very minimal amount of applications. Running various applications, especially web browsing, is often very detrimental to a server's performance.

Thanks man, good info. Anything helps when you are new like I am. Also I forgot to post my basic.cfg settings

MinBandwidth=800000;
MaxBandwidth=50000000;
MaxMsgSend=384;
MaxSizeGuaranteed=512;
MaxSizeNonguaranteed=256;
MinErrorToSend=0.0099999998;
MinErrorToSendNear=0.029999997;
MaxCustomFileSize=500000;

and my MYSQL my.ini

[mysqld]

# Remove leading # and set to the amount of RAM for the most important data
# cache in MySQL. Start at 70% of total RAM for dedicated server, else 10%.
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 1024M
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=2
innodb_log_buffer_size=4M
innodb_log_file_size=256M

# Remove leading # to turn on a very important data integrity option: logging
# changes to the binary log between backups.
# log_bin

# These are commonly set, remove the # and set as required.
# basedir = .....
# datadir = .....
# port = .....
# server_id = .....


# Remove leading # to set options mainly useful for reporting servers.
# The server defaults are faster for transactions and fast SELECTs.
# Adjust sizes as needed, experiment to find the optimal values.
# join_buffer_size = 128M
# sort_buffer_size = 2M
# read_rnd_buffer_size = 2M

sql_mode=NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES

I am very new to MYSQL as well and welcome any suggestions and any help.
