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?

First of all, no one thinks your bitching. Actually, you're being extremely helpful in trying to determine the root cause of the lag issue.
When the Barb map crashes as discussed above, I would disregard anything that the lagometer reports at the time of the crash. It is strictly map related and has nothing to do with the server.

So the lag you are describing is a constant lag? For the entire map?

BTW - the people getting kicked from the server for lost packets are not being kicked. Alot of times when you leave the game, for some reason it still thinks that you're connected and will eventually kick that client with the lost packet message.

I have attached a copy of what my Ping Plotter results were for me. You'll notice minor packet loss at the beginning of the route (right outside my hous) and then some minor packet loss at the last hop before the server. Neither of these PL's are major and I doubt they're contributing to the lag issues.
