This one.

Thought you might want to know. Also, can you tell me what server hosting company you use? I recognize this is not your fault, and so I'm just curious which company is hosting.

Also, could you look into adding team mixing between rounds? There's a way to do it that keeps people who have joined as a party together, and yet mixes based on the previous rounds' performance. This ensures really balanced and exciting games every round.

Thanks!

Thanks for the report. We have had an issue similar to this before. Our server provider, Gameservers, did some work on it but it looks like we might have to contact them again.

We currently have a plugin that auto balances teams during the round and will move lone players first. That same plugin also scrambles the teams if one team wins with 75 or more tickets than the other team.

Excellent! I did not witness the team mixing myself, and perhaps the rounds I played on were closer than 75, but it sounds like you guys have the perfect configuration.

The symptoms were it would get really bad for about 30 seconds. Not quite to the point of noone being able to move, but close. And then it would be okay for 2-4 minutes and then we'd get another 30 seconds of rubberbanding, and that process repeated a bunch. I was playing with some friends as well, from all parts of the world (California, Minnesota, South Korea) and we were all seeing it, so it wasn't our individual connections.

Good luck finding a solution.
 
One thing I noticed today. It was bad for about 45 seconds before my internet dropped altogether. After a bit of looking into it I found out that a lot of ISPs are experiencing bad sunspot issues right now so that could contribute.
 
Well no other servers I was on today were having problems.

Also, how would sunspots affect the Internet?
 
Were the ISP's serious about the sunspots? Cuz it does sound like such a good excuse for something: "I'm sorry sir, paint's gonna take longer to dry, you know, sunspots."

Was wondering if the server thing might be as it scales up. Though I think the TDM server is the same configuration from that standpoint and doesn't seem to have the same issues, so I should probably have more coffee...
 
I recall that Metro did this over Christmas break. Thanks for reporting the issue to us!
 
Sunspots do interfere with cable. When I worked for Time Warner Cable we were told to expect a higher rate of calls those days.

A sunspot is an area of increased magnetism on the sun which causes that section of the sun to rapidly cool. In response the outer edges known as the plage actually become much brighter and become spots of increased radiation. This increase ionizes our ionosphere more which in turn will distort HF signals which are being beamed back and forth from the broadcasting networks or in this case Internet network satellites and the cable company's headend. Thus causing temporary digitizing on digital cable television, temp lag on Internet, or worst case scenario a temporary outage that the cable company can't do anything about until the radiation from the sunspot let's up. A solar flare will do the same thing in case one is wondering.

And that boys and girls is the end of my science lesson.

We do not condone plagiarism in eGO. Please make sure to cite your sources such as with this case please cite Wikipedia. :P
 
o.O I totally didn't copy from wikipedia. Thats from my own research done from my love of spcae while i was bored on watch in the Navy. And again from working at a cable company. So :P to you fine sir. lol

Yeah for plagarism! Wait, that's a bad thing isn't it.. lol I kid I kid, but seriously plagarism is bad & now we know not to do it on the forums. Thanks Short!
 
Actually Sunspots do affect cable internet. No matter who your isp is a good portion of your internet traffic and tv traffic go through satellites high bandwidth uplinks. Especially if it goes across the oceans. More than you would think.

Comcast level 3 support confirmed to me that they were having some issues intermittently with it.
 
Sounds like someone is using sunspots as an exploit.Bring out the banhammer
