BAD lag on Baldric during matches

[MAD_ness]

Anybody got any ideas how we can make the connection more stable for baldric ....dMw's reputation is going down the pan with how the server is acting when we are in matches ....not surprised we are getting so many complaints ...tonight was absolutely ridiculous ..lost count how many REALLY bad lags we had  :blush:


....and its getting embarrassing to keep apologising for our poor match server !!!

[DarkAngel]

Spending some of the Server Fund on say a new server?

Thought the "dual opteron" was on its way.....

i have already raised this point with OB in the admin forum. The ping on the server for the last 3 days has been poor and the forum is being very unresoponsive to new posts. OB is going to reboot the server but he also advises that HV have been jigging about with some new infrastructure si it is possibly that. We'll need OB or TL to tell us more.

There are some hosting reasons why the ping may be unstable - some new arrangements are phasing into place currently, so it may be that the problems will be resolved on their own.  As with other pings, please run pingplotter and mail them to me and we can investigate further - without the info you have to understand that it is difficult to cause any action to be taken.  

As for the server, yes I am researching it and conclusions have almost been reached to enable a proposal for new hardware to be purchased.

There have been a few spikes on BF2 aswell, but I'm assuming that is a different server?

(just as a side note, do we need a new server if nothing has changed on it? It never lagged before)

[TeaLeaf]

BF2 is actually a much larger cpu overhead than CS.  Given the things we run simultaneously then the conclusion of the Admins was yes.

Sorry TL, I was just posing the question.

So BF2 is on Baldric? I know I know, I should be able to figure it out, but that would involve navigatin away from the forum too far. I get scared.

[TeaLeaf]

Yes BF2 and any CS servers are all on the same box - the box being called BlackAdder2.  The individual game servers (including the CS ones e.g. Baldric/Razer/MeatHook etc) are on BlackAdder2.

If we are researching the possibility of an upgrade ....what sort of timescale we looking at TL ......just wondering as we could need to go "inactive" on ed until such an upgrade happens ...

[RizZy]

Could always just play on the oppositions servers, meens less work for the admins too.

[OldBloke]

Give me a prod 30 mins before match and I'll close down MH which may help.

I'm hoping the new box will be available in time to run duty as a server at the next LAN, followed by installation into the Hi-V racks.
