OK, what;s going on with this server? Not to piss anyone off, but the server has been running like S__T for over a week now.

BIG lag! All the time! even with only one player on the server.
Server is "mis-behaveing" Example: I was the only one on the server playing Artic map. Went to the enemy base got the flag, by the time I got back to my base low a behold, the flag just disappered ! Did the same all over again and again the flag just "went away" while in route back to my base?????

Maybe a reboot?
Maybe a rebuild?

<--- thinks you are seeing things. :-)

Thanks for the vote of confidence Bigi !
Your right, I must just be out of my mind or something.

<----Just messing with ya :-)

Well Blonde Hottie and I played one map earlier tonight, and we found no lag present.

Maybe it's an ISP thing, Mickey?

BK and I were playing earlier, and we noticed a big lagg on all the servers. It was really wierd. I was pinging 500+ on several servers and the same for him. Then it cleared up. I wonder if there was some larger scale DoS attack going down on MS or something....seemed like the whole internet was slow.

The only lag I experience is on the MHM server, and that only happens when there are about 11+ peeps on it, and that's when pretty much everybody on the MHM server experiences the 500+ lag effect.

11 people? Sweet! I have the max up to 15 right now but the magic formula says I should only realistically be able to support about 10-12. so what you say makes perfect sense about lag at MHM. I have had some lagg complaints with fewer players too. Maybe Missle Madness has some update thing running in the background or something. I've never heard of him having lagg issues before and his server has now been rock solid for a couple years just about. Mickey, are you OK. You've seemed a little irratated of late. Just checking.

Herm you had 15 players on the other night.Thats when i noticed the lag.But you did max out pretty sweeeeeeeeeet huh?

It seems that there is some confusion about this. I was referring to the Strangelove server not monster hunt. The monster hunt server seems to run perfect even under heavy load.
Just wanted to make myself clear :)

Hey Mickey! I knew that. Glad to hear MHM is good for you. I was referring to MM (the StrangeLove Server) actually. So you ok? Good!

The lag issue has been a mystery to me for awhile; I have also noticed it on other strangelove/RocketX servers as well, where you will be playing and the pings suddenly shoot up to 2000-4000. Judging by what I see in the output logs, I would guess that whoever wrote the SLV mod left alot of debug code in the mod, causing it to spew debugging output whenever something happens, be it fatal or not. If Schwantz or anyone else that has ran SLV on a server has any info, please clue me in!!! As for the disappearing flag, I do have a bug where one bot seems to be invisible most of the time; that is a possible cause. I will have that fixed in a week or 2. As for your previous post about cheaters, after I read it I attempted to install and run UTPure on the server; it worked great until you fired a strangelove or a RocketX, at which time it promptly kicked me off the server. As with the previous issue, if anyone out there has successfully ran UTPure and SLV mod together, please let me know how you did it!

Hey Dead, I have both mods and I'll try a test configuration on my second system and see if I can debug the problem. I'll let you know what I come up with. :)

For anyone interested. There are 2 players that have been dominating Missle Maddness now most of the day for the last 3 weeks or so. They seem to love to ream up and kick butt on everyone that comes on the server. They are more than I can handle, but if anyone would like to "remind them" of just what groups server it is, their names are....

They are good! VERY GOOD!

Just a shame that they spend all day pissing people right off the server ( could be why traffic on the server has slowed down ).

There is more to this, but I don't see the need to go beyond just this point.

Good Luck!
