Hi Guys,

bit of a technical issue here. Since a week or so it is impossible for me to play on the avalanche server. To get this straight: This only happens on the avalanche ego server. On no other server I encounter this issue.

However, on the ego server my FPS drop below 15 fps and I get a DIA Show making it impossible to compete with others. This started about two weeks ago.

I can say it is NOT my computer. All other server work fine without any issues.

Maybe there is a Plugin not working properly and causing lag?

My System Details:

OS: Debian Buster
CPU: Intel Core i7-7700k
GPU: nVidia GeForce GTX 960
SSD: Samsung EVO 1TB

You see that my system specs are way over what DOD normally needs. The only special thing is that I am running Linux. That is why I suspect a plugin installed on the server causing lag. Maybe SM needs an update or smth like that.

It would be cool if an admin could look into this (I can assist of course, I manage many servers myself).

Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend!
 
I haven't experienced anything, nor have seen any reports of anything...

Are there any relevant details coming up in your console? Any chance you've got an install of Windows and can see if it is specific to Linux, if you suspect that?

StealthGus StealthGus any thoughts?
 
Well, plugins don't run anything on the client side, the only thing that would potentially lag out your game is if there were constantly moving parts/entities, and we don't have anything like that.

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head would be to try disabling the MOTD, it's possible some of the ad's JS is causing you to lag.
 
Hello there , I have a home made computer made with out of date parts and it runs very well , unfortunately I dont run to good . I get an occasional lag but thats my ping . I have heard the players complain of the lag but most agree its not a regular event

Dont get me wrong here, my Ping sucks on the server which is because I am located in Germany and the line to murica seems kind of bad. So my ping is always around 110 - 140. But what I experience is a stuttering. I will try to disable the MOTD, I think that what Gabe thinks could be the issue because Steam on Linux has huge problems with webkit (constant crashes and deadlocks, thats why I do not use the overlay webbrowser anymore while ingame).
 
Thank you very much StealthGus StealthGus , the HTML and JavaScript was the problem! using "cl_disablehtmlmotd 1" in console fixes the issue completly. Thank you!
 
If it happens again, it most likely will be service line issues. I've had problems in the past when a bad storm hits the east coast and the lines will slow down and interrupt the connection.
 
Its nothing with the line. Its not that I have a lag (game is behind and out of sync), its in sync perfectly, but the problem ist that is stutters. which lead to aiming beeing impossible. It has dragged my K/D from 1.4 to 0.9. Now after disabling the MOTD I had a really nice game with a K/D of 2.3.
 
it gave me some issues other day to. I never lag and I lagged out and got killed at couple times. I have a high spec computer my husband put together i've not lagged often. not sure if its those commercials or what but I've disabled them.
 
Maybe the real workaround here would be to limit the HTML page to pure HTML without JavaScript. A friend of mine has the same problem with the lags on a Windows machine. So Maybe eGO should revert using massive amounts of javascript which kills the webkit engine in this case...
 
Yeah the MOTD has always been kind of garbage as I have ran into this issue long ago. Kind of amazed its still around xD
