Disgusting server issues

[Luke]

For the past few days we've had constant issues with the server.

- Constantly restarting after 30mins or even shorter
- Constantly getting "You are banned from the server"
- Long lag streaks and always de-syncing

Anyone able to diagnose it or give us a idea whats going on? Because currently the server is unplayable.

You've got to be kidding me, seriously?

It's disturbing how any random pissed off 13 y/o can do this.

No joke.

Devin knows more just passing on what he's said to me.  We have been having trouble with him ban evading so guess he has switched to attacking the server.

I doubt it's DDoS. It's probably an exploit similar to the connection query flooder in previous SAMP version. The server should be able to mitigate average DDoS attacks with the host's DDoS mitigation hardware.

Well his doing a brilliant job being able to play here, the more and more he does this shit the more and more he can stay where he is along with the rest of the butthurts, Its a shame that people have to use mummy's credit card to do things like this. Also I thought the server was able to cope with shitty little 1m/b ddos's.

You do have a point, because unlike normal DDoS's we usually get constant lag then the desync and then it goes offline, with this, we will be alright and then its like someone just pulled your connection, just goes straight to the "connecting to server" screen.

Yes, this is very annoying.

I had to go 3 times from the center of the Desert that is Area 51, to LS. And that pissed me off.

Someone should fix this, and if this is a DDoS attack, the attacker should be caught and jailed.

Can't go into detail but it makes no difference with the current setup.

I gave up trying and now I'll spend the next 3 hours window shopping computer parts on Amazon.

Funny enough, Me, Trane Link and Kaseem doing the same

If Argonath doesn't use OVH's gaming dedicated server then the protection is useless, there are many ways to bypass the one by standard dedicated servers.
Gaming dedicated server has specially configured protection for the games.

Hopefully the crashing issues has now been resolved after some work by Mikro.

Didnt we all raise money for that before?

[Devin]

The game servers are hosted on an OVH server with DDOS protection. The type of protection however will need to be specified by the owner should they choose to release that sort of information.
