That totally helps! Is this what you're exactly using to host the nova files locally on your pc? And then your gaming pc to run the client? I'm also thinking of setting this server up as a plex server too, but I'm guessing that's a bad idea with these bdo files running at the same time
Also, what if I ran the 32gb vm files on my dedicated baremetal server that has 450GB SSD, and 64gbs of ram. Would that run these svr files w/o any lag?
The system I use is a multi-purpose box built from the ground up to do it all. Servers run in VMWare virtual machines, each with their own dedicated memory and processor space. Up until now I have been able to make do with 64GB memory. But with these monstrous game server environments I need to allocate more resources to the servers VMs. It is not something I would recommend to anyone wanting to build a stand-alone game/plex server.
I would venture to say just putting the server in a VM would introduce lag as you add a software layer of complexity between the client and the server code.
I would simply put the the server on that bare metal server, with its 64GB and have a secondary drive (perhaps that 450gb ssd) for swap space. I suspect you will need a little more space if you want to put everything on the same physical drive. I would suggest trying it out as I have outlined it here and if you need more memory buy a second 64GB kit later (make sure it is the same kind and speed!). If you need more storage space, a bigger drive can be had fairly cheaply.
