Bad Lag, High Ping (Damn Foreigner's) & No Players

Where did all the player's go? There's usually 15 to 20+ players on at noon (central time) and in the evening, but lately there has only been like 6 to 10 players. The same thing happened about 6 months ago, the admin rebooted the server and after that the player count went back up to normal.

Also, I'm guessing it's cause of the Foreigner's (overseas folk), the ping rate for a lot of the players has been in the 200+ range, which makes for some pretty crappy lag. (my ping avg. is 50) Is there any tweaking of the server that can be done to help counteract the 200+ pings from Foreigner's? (damn Brits!)

On a brighter note, the new map rotation and game play is pretty cool. Good job on the map rotation update.

Thanks,

We are about due for a server reboot... There isn't much we can tweak really...
All servers will be rebooted tonight (sometime when the server hits it's low-player point) if everything goes well...

Thanks for letting us know--afterall, some people *cough*me*cough* can't even play the damn game...

that game sucks. (PERIOD)

Yer face sucks (AIR).

bad cletus bad ... go eff ur sheep (zZzZz)

You are like Tommy... eff. Just say it naturally douche...

if i said it naturally will sound too rude...

ladies...ladies!!!

Just wanted to let you know the re-boot worked! The server is running much more smoothly now. There were about 20 players on at noon today, sure beats the 6 that were on yesterday.

There was one weird glitch though. During the CTF match in Outskirts the server booted everyone off. This happened about 3 minutes after the start of the match. When I logged back onto the server, the map had switched to Seelow. There was a boot message that popped up, but I didn’t think to write it down. It was something to the affect of, “something-something light not initialized, boot for 2 minute duration”. After I got back into the game I was able to play just fine and didn't get booted again.

ohh shit... I might know what's the issue there I'll look into it

Roger that...it said dynamic lighting error or some shyte...PB kickd for 2 minutes. Only happens on that Outskirts like Moe Said. again...

It is still kicking everyone on Outskirts map about 3-4 minutes in giving the error code:

Player Cerwidwen has been kicked by Punkbuster for 2 minutes, blah blah....
Cvar r_lightTweakAmbient = 0.35
Then by the time your 2 minutes is up, it has gone to the next map in the rotation.

I just fixed that.. so it shouldn't do it again...

Yep, yep...seems to be working now. TY TY TY again

O players on since 12:00 pm local time...thats 5 hrs....very strange indeed! It has been running pretty good for quite a while now....always tons of people on!

There are have been around 5-6 people on all day today instead of the usual 15+. Maybe the FFA (DM) isn't going over so well. Some maps are just too damn big for FFA where you spend 90% of the game running.
Man, it sucks to see so few players on

See.. You can't please everyone. ha ha I'll do lookin around. It seams like that server needs to be restarted more often then the rest to keep the lag down..

Ya, you got that right. I hate SAB but I apparently some people like it (according to the poll results) so maybe a couple of SABs.
Currently the player count sits at 1 on the server....The last week's player count on the server (from Gametracker) seem to start falling on Thurs. night ............

I think that's the exact time he switched all SAB to FFA....not sure about that though.
i thought it was a damn good idea....apparently people actually like that SAB shit :2guns: :2guns: :2guns:

after about a week the codwaw server needs restarted.. it's always dropped after it's been on for a few days.. which I restarted it earlier and now there is 21 people on there..
