Too_many_snowflakes 80 Posted August 15, 2018 Yea... We really need to do something about these lag spikes. The game is borderline unplayable without regular server resets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Puffdragon 131 Posted August 15, 2018 I am wondering why ddos wasn't a problem in the past? Is it the isp they are using? Years ago the problems with teleporting was due to crappy servers, now it's crappy isp? I am just speculating, plus I need more coffee, dis grammar sucks.

Lots of years of neglect. Also, the servers direct ips were given out to try and help G1 figure it out which was a bad idea....

Also, the servers direct ips were given out to try and help G1 figure it out which was a bad idea.... ...Well yes someone can rent bots to DDoS but why would DDoS be the issue tho? I remember servers playing fine and sudenly heavy packetloss starts and they end up doing a restart and then everything is back to normal. If i am not mistaken, let's say you make a batfile on your pc to open a thousand cmd's with "ping district servers -t" and you are gonna keep throwing tons of traffic to the server and "cause a DDoS". Then they will "Restart" the servers and then everything is back to normal for like an hour or something, or maybe the whole day or week. I mean if you have a -t behind that cmd command it will automatically start sending packets again as soon as the server is on. Meaning a server restart SHOULD NOT fix the lag but when they do, it does fix the lag 90% of the time even if its for a day or the weekend idk. I am not saying they are not getting DDoS'd. But i see people on citadel playing without any issues while on jericho we are lagging like crazy. Not to mention citadel has way more players than NA, meaning more district servers equals MORE download/uploads from each player in a district doing w.e. So i think having a shitty ISP is more likely the problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to mention citadel has way more players than NA, meaning more district servers equals MORE download/uploads from each player in a district doing w.e. So i think having a shitty ISP is more likely the problem well EU and NA have different providers and DDoS protection options. I don't know wut they do. A simple way if putting it would be the servers run stable when no DDoS is happening but the servers still have butt code. so without DDoS eventually the servers will start to crap out because the code is garbage... kinda like a PC memory leak, it still runs and works till you hit X amount of hours or so. So it's like a old car working when it wants to but when you DDoS it AKA Slam the throttle and Hold it there it's just causing more problems or accelerating them. this is why we have restarts to keep it as "clean/new slate" kinda condition. the restart is like the Reset of the "engine".

When firing the sound on the client side would be so low it's barely audible. Server sided it was fine, so others were able to hear you shoot just fine.
