Darkzero3802 611 Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Jericho just went to 35ms server side then fin-5 crashed. Can we fix these servers already? Or better yet replace them.

Fortune Runner 796 Posted March 18, 2019 Why are people assuming that it is the servers when we have had DDoS attacks for a decade now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can even see his sleep pattern. The DDOS starts at about 5 PM or so and usually ends around 2 AM. Then he goes to bed and it repeats XD what ban wave?

Fortune Runner 796 Posted March 18, 2019 If mitigation was not working we would not be playing at all. DDoS would shut down the games completely otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fortune Runner 796 Posted March 18, 2019 Some are playing. Some have potato computers that crash the game easier. the quality of the computer helps in this just as much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fortune Runner 796 Posted March 19, 2019 The previous comment wasn't directed at you. It was meant for in general. I am intending to do so with this comment as well. Parts wear out even if they are "supposed" to be good enough. It's happened to me over time in the past. Overheating for instance can strain the processor chip as well as damage it or other parts. Wear and tear however is only part of this equation. A lot of other factors like DDoS , mitigation , and anything else not mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes the netcode is trash but these servers are just as bad if not worse. At the end of the day new servers should be brought in to better handle the game and the better engine on the way. It will only strain the servers even more and I hate to see how bad they would be if unreal 4 was unleashed let alone the disaster that has been unreal 3.

Fortune Runner 796 Posted March 19, 2019 In theory the Engine Upgrade should be less stressful based off of reports on that thread that was made by Little Orbit and the SPCT team who mentioned how it seemed this way ( or however they worded it i forget) I'm not saying the servers do not need an upgrade MattScott himself suggested they need it before in a previous thread. I am saying the DDoS is a major part of the issues for today. I am also saying for some people their potato computers dont help the situation for them. i am also saying I want nachos im flippin fiending hungry for them and i dont know why But that is that and this is this so i have to do without.

Are you saying players with lower spec PCs are causing the servers to crash? That does not make sense. Worst case they will warp around a little due to sending less data to the servers. If anything, players running APB at 144fps stand a better chance at crashing the servers, but only if the netcode is directly linked to the framerate. As far as I'm aware it's not. 4 hours ago, Emcitement said: It isn't the servers, Matt said its ddos. Some 12 year old got hit in the ban wave and is ddosing them every day.

A bit farfetched, but it seems pretty easy to do. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Westford 167 Posted March 19, 2019 Is Jericho safe to login now ? I wanted to drive around and test out the new brakes on my Vegas. Brakes failed on me the other day...... ran over a few pedestrians. /sigh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking, that the incident with the pedestrians the other day ....... may be due to server lagg... In which case, technicality, I am not at fault . Which is a good thing ... Haha.

No I am not saying that , but for some computers being low end would mean they can not connect properly in times of DDoS attacks like my old computer. The strain on the players end from a low end computer can cause a infinite loading screen if it can not process it quickly enough and it times out from it. This does not mean this is why of course , just that it is one of many possibility's in times like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
