Yes, unfortunately it is OpenGL, and quite intensive (which makes it much harder to know whether it's the server or client that's running slow! :( ). I currently do use 127.0.0.1, and it works fine then, but obviously the speed of the connection is not going to be a problem!

This may not be appropriate, but vmware server is free, and stupidly easy to administer. I mean, maybe the game uses opengl or is graphically intensive, so vmware would not really work.I think that testing across a LAN would be good enough, especially for a personnel project. I imagine that just testing across a LAN would mask bandwidth related performance issues, and any issues your game may have with firewalls and port forwarding.Jake Lilith Calbridge wrote:I'm not sure what the protocols are but would it work to test sending to your localhost at 127.0.0.1 or simply localhost?

I can't afford more than one computer, but as everyone will obviously know, there's a world of difference between connecting to your own PC and connecting to another PC across the internet. Is there a way to test this without having to buy anothercomputer and internet connection?
