Red 1068 Report post Posted August 1, 2017 Hi All, I have gone through our accounting and figured out exactly how much we need every month for StrayaGaming to run by itself, without intervention from StrayaServers. The donation goal has been set to $690 instead of $800 after taking into account what is payed for elsewhere. We have decided to only ask for the server cost, the rest will be paid by Lucky Beef, TrueBlue and Myself. I have included an expenses report below breaking down the payments from the donation goal and the total. I'm very happy and excited to see that we almost doubled the new goal last month, it's great to see you all supporting the community and helping it grow. Donation Goal $690 Services and Products:1x Dedicated Server $390/mo | This is running Altis Life, our misc. servers (Ark, CSGO Comp, Minigames), the website, our SQL instance, and a few smaller programs.1x Dedicated Server $300/mo | This is running Wasteland, Invade and Annex, and their developmental servers1x Teamspeak License $218/yr($18.2/mo) | Paid for by B33f and Red1x IPS Forum Software Maintenance $93.43/6mo($15.6/mo) | Paid for by B33f and Red I am happy to answer any questions about our accounts and billing as long as they are not pertaining to sensitive information. 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vitale 88 Report post Posted August 1, 2017 First i wanna say thank you for providing the altis life server im currently having a lot of fun playing on it and have just recently donated to the community with that being said i have 1 question and keep in mind i have 0 understanding of server limitations etc Running the altis life server on a dedi with all the misc servers the website and sql and other programs does this have any impact on the performance of altis life ? only asking because the server lags a lot the wanted list which just had a new update lags even more now than prior there's constant desync the crashes/kicks have been explaining as a bohemia problem and not much can be done i understand that but what about the other stuff mentioned even the community website is quite slow / occasionally goes down sometimes Once again this is just a genuine question because i don't understand the limitiations etc of dedi servers and i don't believe its my connection as i never lag/dropout at all 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red 1068 Report post Posted August 1, 2017 It probably does, but we are talking nano seconds of delay while something else is being processed. I have Altis Life running on isolated cores to prevent both AL effecting other programs and other programs effecting AL. Anything regarding crashes and desync/lag is not caused by bad hardware. I can explain it, but it sounds like Connor is on top of it. The website is ridiculously large and resource intensive, and I am still getting my head around Apache and PHP optimisation on Windows. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CeeFar 585 Report post Posted August 1, 2017 We all really appreciate the work that you put into this community, and I'm sure we can try as a team, and as a community to get that 200 dollars over the goal so you don't have to spend your own money on the TS license. It's a service we ALL use and need. - nclem 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MOONMAN 15 Report post Posted August 6, 2017 Hey guys it think it is amazing that you guys have the transparency with the figures. It really shows that the people behind the community are doing the "right stuff" and that you are building a community for people to enjoy and engage in and not just a server. Keep up the great work. -MOON- 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
