laggin on server

[ZERO]

Problem with pub was that the map was lasting forever but apparently valve does not like that. So it will now reset the map every 30min if there is no players on.

Any cl_interp setting other than .1 exacerbates the problem. .1 seems to be the 'sweet spot' for minimizing it (but that honestly just could be my familiarity with the setting more than the problem being compounded).

There are definite, easy to recognize, small 'gaps' in my net_graph 3 each time the issue occurs. It's as if my client is either not accepting packets from the server for a short time or the server isn't sending them to me for a short time. I suppose it's possible there's another explanation but that seems the simplest to me - I'm just temporarily losing connection to the server every few seconds.

I realize I'm beating a dead horse at this point and that a complete server overhaul on the 16th may resolve everything, but I wanted to report my findings on the lerp settings as I had some time to test today.

have we tried pinging the server -t as you're playing? See if you lose any packets or if there is a spike at the same time? Might be interesting to see that.

Yup, this was actually one of the first things I tested before I even complained of the issue. Surprisingly, I drop zero packets with a ping but it's obvious I'm not receiving some UDP transmissions for whatever reason. Since it only happens on IBIS servers I can only assume it's my route to the servers or something installed on them that just doesn't play well with my PC.

Sucks. Miss playing with you guys already and it has only been a week.

Actually talking with V today I had him set cl_disablehtmlmotd 1 and his problem was fixed. I then made some adjustments to some plugins based on this and had him set cl_disablehtmlmotd 0 and the problem was solved.

Please verify if you still having the issue b/c it was apparently solved with an update that I preformed today. If you still have an issue please enter cl_disablehtmlmotd 1 in console and let me know if that fixes it for you.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Sweet relief (at least until April 16th, haha!).

I'm happy to report that after inputting cl_disablehtmlmotd 1 the problem is gone. Thanks so much for this fix guys!

Wait so if you switch it back to 0 does the problem return b/c I rolled out a change last night that should fix it even with it set to 0. Please test and let me know.

It felt like the issue was still there until I changed it to 1. I'll test for a good while at some point though just to be absolutely certain. If only for posterity!

I have noticed that some people have issues in general where as their computer can not get constant >70fps as is requred as a min requirment to not have basic lag and reg issues on any server. Here is a page that may help these users: http://config.site.nfoservers.com/tweaks/tweaks.html

And it's back again for me. Played for a hour or two on WCS with no lag at all. Hopped into GG and i get lag spikes every other minute even tho my ping is 113 which is pretty low considering i'm in sweden. Had 120+ ping before without any lag.



All the other IBIS servers is without lag when i join, it's just GG.
