Player Warping.

[titanium_]

How do I stop player warping? I don't get any loss or choke and the pings are fine. Just the only issue on my server is that players are warping.

[skeletor]

sounds like the cpu holding the server is over loaded. whats cpu usage when its doin this? and is when theres a lot of people in, or just 1 person?

[titanium_]

I can't really check that as I'm going thru a game server provider. When about 20 or more join, it starts warping.

[skeletor]

yea.. thats cpu.. i would consult them.. cuz that is more then likly a problem on there side.

[titanium_]

Well, wouldn't really know what to say to them but I'll give it a shot. I've seen multiple threads about warping and stuff on other forums and that cpu was also a part of it, but I was looking to see if there was something else that would have caused it.

[skeletor]

yea a lot of things could be causing it, ultimatly its the cpu though,but bots cause high cpu usage, a lot of plugins do as well.. and some plugins i hear will just straight cause lag, but if you stick to like mani, and mattie, you will be fine. well beetle mod as well. haven't used it, but i have heard its pretty good.

so anyways.. try with no plugins.. see if it makes a difference, but if not, just tell them that your getting a bunch of lagg when your server gets over 20 people in it, and you want to know why?! lol if your paying for a server, you deserve to know whats goin on.

Well, I asked about the server and all I got was the following:

Quote:You heard wrong, do you want to change or not. This ticket is getting to long and we seem to be getting off the subject at hand.

He wants me to move to a different datacenter, would that help? I don't really want to move to a different dc. I use StatsMeMinimum, Mani, and FakeClients.

[skeletor]

fake clients might do it? i don't know what that is.. but i use statsmemimum, and i haven't had any problem with it. and a different datacenter wouldn't matter, other then the fact that you would be on a different pc. maybe try takin off the fake clients.. whats that for anyways?

I also know that player warping can happen if a player is lagging as we have had laggy players that wrap, but all other clients are fine.

Set a kick ping of like 150-200 that can help the issue.

[titanium_]

I have the ping kicker set at 120ms.
FakeClients is like FakeFull, you have bots on your server but only they are spectators and when someone joins, they leave and when someone leaves, a bot joins.
I think they're ignoring my tickets now and I realized I was the only one that had a 40 player hosted with them.
I also had FakeClients running on a 20 player before and showed no lag or player warping issues at all.

[skeletor]

well if thats keeping soo many "bots" in it, i could see that lagging, and if it was a 20 player server with no lag, and now whenever you get more then 20 people.. it lags.. yea.. i would say its that.

[titanium_]

Well, I just only put in 4 bots so it shouldn't really be a problem.

I don't understand, it's fine until it starts hitting 18 to 19 players. 80% though?

[skeletor]

wow, yea thats horrible.

99.9 cpu usage, and 10 fps.. NO WONDER YOUR GETTUBG LAG... i would send that to your gsp, and tell them to take there shit and shove it. cuz obviously they have that box over loaded. or something. because thats unplayable, 10 fps, that means it only updates 10 times per second, as opposed to the regular 66-70, or what most would consider "smooth" which is right around 550. but in my opinoin just from that, your "gsp" is a crock. lol.i would consult them though, and ask them just why it can't even sustain the normal (minimal) fps of 66, or why its using almost 100% of the cpu o.0, i would hate to be in the other servers on that box...

[skeletor]

alright, so i totally bashed your gsp, sorry bout that. its just thats horrible, and yea, high player servers like that use a LOT of cpu, but they shouldn't rent one out unless there boxes can handle it, which obviously with cpu at 99.9, fps at 10.. there box can not handle it. and i would confront them about it, cuz basically your wasting your money. and its kinda sad that they basically said theres nothing wrong with it.. cuz obviously, they don't know what there talking about, or just totally don't care. either way, i would get on there butts, and if they don't comply, i wouldn't hesitate to find a new gsp, theres tons of em out there.. lol. cuz thats one thing that a lot of your money is goin into that, and if it lags that bad, not only are you wasting your money, but you lose a place to play thats yours. lol. alright, i think i have ranted enough about this =)
