Serious Question - Huntress
« on: May 30, 2011, 05:18:02 AM »
Okay, had hoped 0.5.0 would fix, apparently not.

Can anyone think of a technical reason why Huntress would chop-lag me 1.5 - 3 seconds in Shiva, primarily, but also sometimes in Sullas or VTOL.  It is not constant, but does appear consistent - but not versus any particaular asset/graphics, etc.

When in mech and tank I can't say I have ever noticed this "effect" on that server.

Does not happen on any other server (other than normal latency stuff).

No fair saying Karma... lol

Lots of players? Huntress is usually pretty packed.

Bloodycrow brings up a good point.
Noticed any relationship between number of players on and this choppy behaviour? Does this happen if you manage to catch huntress with few or no players as well?

No, Merf, it is the strangest thing.  I personally thought it was some kind of corruption w/ Shiva model, etc. (even tho I had reloaded from scratch in 0.4 several times).  I had a similar oddness when using old NC model like 2? versions ago, but across all servers.  So, I hoped 0.5.0 might fix.

If I had to describe it, it's like being framerate throttled --- but only in air, and only on Huntress.  I can get into any mech on Huntress, in big brawls, max players, and nothing like ~2 second freezes.   I mean I literally flew out of bounds yesterday for like 3 seconds....  not to mention when it happens on attack runs (that's comical).

I have basically had to relearn aim when I fly there (try leading or evading a Sulla with sometimes 1.5 second delay........)

Anyway, can't figure why it would be just that server, and just air.  It makes no sense, unless there is some technical thing I don't understand.

I am making adjustments to server settings to see if that resolves the issue.  ;)

Nothing, the reason for the settings changes are unrelated to this thread, but may still affect the OP.

Was the server forcing "con restricted 1" last night?

Just for the record, I wasn't complaining ;)  Reporting for bug reporting purposes (and science, and such...)

Appreciate all your hard work, Zath - and SJ for hosting the server.

I don't think anyone thinks you were complaining hack, and I'm sure zath is happy to read that.

Console should be enabled now, we've noticed some issues on certain maps (mainly sandblasted, why this is happening personally I have no idea because its one of the easiest maps on peoples computers), and we haven't been able to determine the cause as of yet.

Reviving and abusing another thread because i got a question about the Huntress-server:
Would it be possible to lower the maximum amount of players? The game performs extemely bad with 30 players on a map. (This does not only concern Huntress.)
How about lowering the amount of players to 26 or even 24? I am not sure at which number the game would be playable best, but 30 runs like crap. Not only for me.
