The problem here would be that it is a laptop that doesn't have an additional RAM slot. An upgrade is on the horizon, anyway, so just adding more RAM in this case wouldn't be feasible. I was just thinking about doing something about that in the meantime.
Yes, he wasn't the host and wasn't getting kicked when playing with us with an ingame host. That's why I'm asking if there's a way to increase the timeout time, because I thought that maybe with dedicated servers it's different. The ping times are all around 30ms for everyone on the server, and lag was one of the reasons we switched from the ingame host too, so I'm guessing pings weren't the best then. But the fact that he's being kicked out now but wasn't before, despite the only thing changing is that we moved to a dedicated server (we even transfered the same world), is why I'm asking about this in the first place. If this was solely his PC issue, why wasn't this happening before?
The pc is a laptop, he's running on lowest settings and it's playable for him at 50FPS. His specs are: Lenovo Z70-80 i5-5200U/4GB/1000 GT840M FHD
I know this isn't even minimum specs for the game and the game probably shouldn't even run in the first place, and as I said before an upgrade is coming, but it did run before we switched to the server, so that's why I'm asking. I guess I didn't really make that clear, but he used to have those freezes on the friend hosted world too, but wasn't getting kicked for that.
If there's no other way than to upgrade, then it's alright. I just want to know if there's a way to get the server to stop kicking him if there's no connection for less than 2 seconds.
