Recent Lag on Browclopsia

Here SysOps can list their MultiPlayer server info and users can send feedback to their SysOps. Or just talk about the MultiPlayer servers they play on. This is not about MultiPlayer in general - please use the MultiPlayer Forum for that!

Recent Lag on Browclopsia

Is primarily due to server load, the current 1.5 P3 can't take the load past 16 players.

We will be upgrading to a P4 2.5 over the weekend, with 3gigs of RAM. We will see how that helps.

Thank you for your patience and help in testing the server.

*groan*
And I made things worse last night and fell asleep at the keyboard (sorry about that).
On the other hand, the one redeeming feature to last nights criminal failure to log out was the following system-wide conversation at the top of my scroll up bar after I respawned:
(note: The true names of the speakers have been changed to protect them. However, appropriate names have been used in their place)



Curly: 0_0 I'd better get my ass to bed
Curly: lolz
Moe: me too
Moe: well buh buh
Curly: nite...dont forget to NOT mention who blew navboy up. lets say uh
Moe: those freaks did it
Curly: the saw on the log in the dream balloon fell and killed him
Curly: cuz he slept too hard at the keyboard
Moe: lol ok
Curly:

Curly: freaks did it?

Moe: those two kids that blasted us



LMAO And they say good comedy is so hard to find these days.

did it get installed yet? still getting boo-coo lag probs...reminds me of when I first was playing online and had comCRAP issues...

It would lag a lot less if we could keep the twits running speed mods out, the latest that I saw was Capt._M.Reza, I sent a screenshot to Meiyo.

I just logged on for a couple minutes earlier this afternoon but the lag made it unplayable. I'm inclined to think its being caused by modders rather than just hardware issues. The server was fine when it first started. I agree with Doc, we've got to do something about these modders/hackers/cheaters who are screwing us over.

Post Tue Aug 26, 2003 9:07 pm

We are doing all we can to find them... but its up to the everyday player to make sure they are caught.

And the hardware upgrade wasn't done over the weekend as planned. Something came up.

I noticed the link from Technowizards that's been posted in Console news is a dead link now. I'm keeping my eye's open for the modwhores but it's really starting to feel like a losing battle. Boy I can't wait till Halo and Homeworld2 come out.

Post Wed Aug 27, 2003 8:17 am

I think we are all just waiting for some the lastest and greatest games to come out. Because lets be honest, FL is great, the browclops community is great. But the server won't be here for all of time. There will come a day when it will suffer the same fate as browclops MkI. We can only prey that day is far away. I can ensure you right now though that it is no where in site at the moment.

Modders won't live long once found. I knew we should have avoided posting on lancers, but whats done is done. Short of passwording the server, there is little I can do about it. We might be closing new account creation soon though. Till we weed out some of the bad apples.

Too all of those waiting for account transfers, it might be a little while more. For me to upload the new characters is shall we say, much more complex than it is for other servers. Mainly because I have to do it all remotely. When I browse through the accounts, or transfer characters, I have to download the whole every single folder character folder via FTP, browse them, find yours, find yours, browse the files from Browclops, find the matching ones, move the characters from that folder to the new one, then surf the FTP once more for your files and upload them to the correct folder by a manual search. Its very time comsuming. And for safety, I have to take the server done while doing this, to make sure nothing gets corrupted during any of the downloads or uploads by the server writing to these files. And downtime for the server is bad.

I don't know much about finding people who are modding but I did see a couple of characters last night that had a system of ???? in the Chat window. Does this mean anything ligit? or should I forward the screen shots that I took?

Post Wed Aug 27, 2003 6:33 pm

It means they are sitting at the character selection screen, but were previously logged in as the character you see.
