Getting Ping Spikes? Read This

[Blue Stealth]

All,

Leadership is well-aware of the ping spikes that our servers have been experiencing over the past 2 days. The issue is being looked into, and I will keep everyone informed of any updates.

If you have questions feel free to ask.

Thank you blue!

Last I heard from Gaming it had something to do with Steam uppdate or something like that

Thanks for the update, Blue. I do have one question, though...who's going to win the Super Bowl this year?

 

[Suicide-King]

This is absolutely ridiculous. No other servers I have played have been as horrible as ours. We need to fix this crap.

This is absolutely ridiculous.

Are you referring to your comment, or the server issue?

Do you really think that offering the solution of "fixing this crap" is helpful in any way at all? If you cannot resist insulting people with immature and thoughtless posts, don't post at all.

On a separate note, the problem is indeed being worked on, and we will be updating some plugins this evening. If you guys have anything constructive to add, such as problems you are still/no longer experiencing, please be sure to post.

Thanks,
Blue

No matter how laggy the servers are it is our duty to fill them no matter the cost!

Maybe it is best to try it out on servers which are at 0/32? Anzio and Kalt are usually 0/32 during the daytime before they get filled. To keep population coming it may not be the best idea to reset servers right when a game is going. Avalanche and Donner are tricky because they are sometimes 32/32 for an entire day but if you look at the server population chart there are times when the population drops to 0/32 or close to it for a little while then maybe it is desirable to reset whatever it is at that time.

I said it could be that, but leadership is looking into the problem

Very true. We apply updates, when we can, late at night or early morning when traffic is low. Avalanche is usually tricky as it tends to be full 24/7 (and donner as well to some extent, now), but those usually fill right back up if its a quick restart.

If you see one of our servers restart or reboot during peak times, it is either due to a hardware failure/hiccup, or us being forced to update immediately.

I may not like football, but i can honestly say I'm ashamed to be a member of a Cowboys Fan household.

Thanks for the updates Blue

Thanks for the update! The lag was still there this morning before I left, and unfortunately I most likely will not have the opportunity to play until Wednesday most likely, but I'll post either way. It's odd - people's pings seem to be the same, but the rubber banding... Rather curious.

Thanks for your continuing effort!
