Has the Firewall update made any difference to the performance of the server?
If the answer is no then can we please try the Vanilla server to make sure it isn't a plugin/Windows issue?
The Vanilla server is on 27031 and is totally Vanilla, running on Linux but going through the same Firewall as BA5. Testing it will help narrow down where the issue might be.
p.s. It's currently set to 128 tick.
Well, I'm going to tentatively say that it was good tonight.
All my problems were client based (high ping and sound-loop crash) which I can live with/fix.
I'll ask others, but I didn't hear the usual cursing tonight.
Edit: Just tried vanilla and it seems good.
Blunt and i just tried on the vanilla server, with 128tick, it's a vast improvement, especially given the previous issues (even with a server full of bots and one person).
Boomer also seemed to be improved, however, it's still on 64 tick. If we can also get that upped to 128, we'll gather some more feedback from the players - the issues were far more obvious with 128tick, especially with addons.
Thanks for the hard work!
p.s. blunt said he'd like to have your babies.
