OK newly installed is

I hope this fixes stuff a little bit.

I was playing before and it seemed ok to me. But I could see other people lagging, even though their ping was ok.

edit: went back on later and had a lot of lag Sad

OK I'll reinstall the servers, prolly tonite.

I will turn off chatbot too, to eliminate the possibility that that's the problem. (doubt it).

Will post here when I reinstalled. From that moment on please let me know ASAP if it seems like its exactly the same (i.e. bad lag or not). I really don't get it, nothing has changed.. box is the same, doesnt have much more to do CPU-wise than before, and link is the same, I get about the same performance to a few key sites I use frequently.

If there still is lag please pay attention to the following and report to me if you can (personally I never really got much lag) if you can tell me when lag seems to start and/or gets worse.

Does it have to do with player numbers or does it lag with only 2 players on?
Same effect on all maps? Any maps that work fine and/or maps that suck more than others?
Does it start when the server is up for a while (after a hard-reboot) or is it from the moment you restart?

Maybe we can work out what the reason is.. Hope so.

Yesterday there was only about 5 ppl on oca and it was still laging. sometimes when theres a full server its ok. some maps it was very laggy and some it was ok, but others were lagging Confused

OK Server is pretty much reinstalled now.
I did use an old server backup, way old, made nifty again.

If something crucial isnt working let me know, and of course tell me if lag is OK now.

By the way, a few maps use .u files (in the System dir). I have deleted all those, so it is not unlikely that a few maps won't work. Please also report what maps have stopped working.

also-also the OCA server is down until I can fix this darned lag problem.

I played several maps today and it was good. I saw some ppl lagging but they had high ping so it wasnt that our strange lag. For example DM-SniperCamp yesterday and today was big difference. Yesterday I was lagging very bad, today it was OK. But it can be random, I ll try it tomorrow again.

The crazy thing is that AGAIN I did not change a single thing on the server side during the period that lag started happening. Chatbot has become a BIT more complex but it doesn't do much in the background. Only when someone types a command.

Somehow UT just eats itself after a while it seems. Last time it just started crashing after games, remember that one? What's next, reformatting the harddisk after a monsterkill? boxing_smiley

So c'mon guys, any more reports? I need to know that the lag thing is certainly fixed before I can start reinstalling other stuff..
