A video of the previous Dell Optiplex FX160 thin client hosting "The Unrealism Zone" server (currently - 135.26.192.155:7777) with a single-core Atom 230. The server was later upgraded to another Optiplex thin client---this time with quad-threaded Atom 330, and an SSD, and this "fixed" (not really) the "Hatchet Gun" lag issue seen later in this video.

While the WeaponLord mod is extremely fun, and addictive, it was also poorly coded, which caused performance issues on slower machines; especially on ones that are only running as dedicated servers. This is due to "ScriptWarning" issues within the mod while certain weapons were used----the worst being the "Hatchet Gun".

The lag issue can mostly be avoided with a powerful enough CPU, and the Atom 330 seems to be sufficient enough. Another test video may be uploaded showing the Atom 330 in action, if I'm not feeling too lazy!

Here's a link to The Unrealism Zone topic in the UT99.org Server section - https://ut99.org/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=11817

As of this video, the server is still live on the Atom 330. It can be tracked on GameTracker, and UnrealOSX.webs.com:
