server lag Options

[KraZyKurT]

I don't know what the deal is but the lag is just terrible you can't play with a rifle well at all. Its really hurting the server and a lot of good players have left, can u help because I love the server?

Ok, first thing. The occasional server crashes on Barbarossa have nothing to do with the server. It's a problem with the map. The map designers are aware of the problem but there's nothing they can do to fix it because Activision/IW wouldn't reply to their emails so it is what it is.

As for the lag, The screens above seem to indicate that the lag is on your end, am I reading the graphs correctly?

How often do you get the lag? Every 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 minutes? How long does the lag last for?
Does the "CONNECTION INTERRUPTED" display?

The reason you might get lag on one server and not the other could be the result of a problem on one of the "hops" from your computer to the server and may not actually be the server but a hop in between.

If you really want to find out, download the free version of a program called Ping Plotter (http://www.pingplotter.com/) This program will track your connection from your computer to the server. You'll be able to see the number of hops inbetween you and the different servers and if one of those hops has an issues, you will usually see major packet loss at those particular hops.
