What can we do about the lag?

[Que]

Okay. Seriously, what can we do to prevent the lag? This is actually starting to annoy me. I'm not talking for myself, I bet the whole server thinks the same basically. So what can we do to prevent it?

Is it the script?
Is the the host?
Is it something else?

I mean, we gotta do something about it. This is seriously massive.
Like now, when there's approximately 120 Players online. The lag is totally terrible.
I don't even enter the server when there's like 100 people online, because I know the server will lag the shit outta the things you do ingame.

So, lets do something about it, as it is actually bothering a lot of people..

Get a better host

Get a better host

+1

But it can also depend on YOUR Internet Connection/ISP and Computer.

[Que]

Haha, no trust me. It's not my connection..

[Cero]

It's the host/Server/scripts/WE.

It needs fixing and it needs it now.

[Jerry]

Or we all can moan and maybe then the server will get better.

What do you think?

I didn't notice it at first, when everyone else talked about it, but lately I've been experiencing it too, and sometimes it's horrible. I have no idea what it's caused by though, so I'll just wait and hope for the best.

[Bilbo]

If I'm not wrong, the problem is on the host as everyone's ping has gone up.
If you want to help, pay for better host. There's a Donate -button on top of the forums.

You know hes right.

The server will lag while so many people are playing, thats a fact.   David has said he is going to make sure his new scripts are streamlined to prevent this.   All we can do, is wait untill thats done, no one is going to completely revamp these scripts because people say "it needs fixed now"  Especially when a new set of scripts is under development.

Jesus, you all say you love argonath... now im starting to understand why everyone is calling eachover moaners.

The lag will be bad, we all know that, if you dont want to experience it, dont play when theres so many players on.

[Ted]

There is nothing we the players ourselves can do about it except to be patient and wait.

Remember new scripts are in development for the server so they take more priority in making them perfect.

But Im sure once the development and testing with the up and coming scripts is over the lag issue will be worked on. Remember the developers are human too so they can only work on so many things at a time...

So for now its just a waiting game.

 :ps: If this looks like i moaning in any way im not. Just stating my opinion

Oh refer to this topic below of a similar kind too

There is an easy way to fix the lag:



Do not move

[Gandalf]

In order to check lag we are looking at a number of things.

- the processor capacity
- memory usage
- file access

At this time the processor capacity is usually well below 80%, the treshold to experience lag.
The memory usage is also far below the RAM, meaning that it does not influence the lag.
Remaining thing is file access. We have over 89.000 files in our users directory, and all of those are less than 6 months old. We are going to reduce the number of times a files is accessed by the scripts, but that needs a major rewrite and there for patience.
The current server is 3 years old, and we will son make a test to run the same scripts on another server, in order to see if it will run with less lag.
However for that we will need over 100 players, and the same amount of files.
On test server with 30 players and less player files there is zero lag, meaning the origin is not in the scripts itself.

Do not move

Also easy way to fix is to lower the maximum player amount in server. Let's say to 50.
