Omfg Lag!!!!!!!!

[m_d_butler]

Servers LAGGED tonight. Can we please have it checked out? It wasn't isolated, it happened frequently.

[eclyps]

it was happening across all of our servers, so it was an issue with the datacenter. There's nothing we can do about a problem at the datacenter except hope they fix it soon. They usually do fix it quickly, so let me know if the problem isn't resolved by today.

quite a bit of lag on the 30 man for me this morning :( frozen for several seconds kind of lag....

every time a bomb was planted on css i would get bout 90+ loss and then it would just suddenly be next round hahahaha

All I know is I randomly kept getting stuck in place, warped around a bit, and then would randomly get shot through walls during the 'lag attacks' on the 2Fort server. Honestly, I found it quite humorous to have been wrenched by an engineer (As a scout) when I was in my team base (RED) and the BLU engie was in BLU base. It was pretty ridiculous, but still, the lag bit has been occuring at a more frequent rate than normal. Hopefully it is rectified soon on the data center's end quickly.

4 days in a row now its been super pathetic

Even worse today (frozen or kicked (with 24 ping) at least 15 times from 4-5:30 est)

Yeah it was laggy on instant today. Had trouble keeping the server full.

Pick any map rotation you want, move around the AM rotations, and advertise cheap beer on the server; lag will still kill the ranking of any server unless corrected.

yeah. we're working on trying to figure out what the hell the problem is. CPU usage is no more than usual, net usage is no more than usual, and pings seem to be fine. We're going to try full system reboots tonight to see if it helps. Keep me updated tomorrow. I should be able to get on and see for myself tomorrow afternoon.

If you get the reboot done early, I can watch 2fort until midnight (translation 1-1:30, I really do mean to get more sleep, I just cannot help myself)

well I won't be able to reboot until after I get out of class (9:30ish), and the reboot can take 5 - 10 minutes to bring everything back up, which will DEFINITELY clear the servers for the night. So I'm going to start the reboot before I leave for work in the morning and then start everything back up when I get into work (reboot at 6:30ish, servers back up around 7:00ish). I might do it earlier, like between 5:30 and 5:45. We'll see.

I do apologize for the lag though. Like I keep saying, we're working on something huge that will alleviate all of these issues, as well as protect our servers from any more of these issues in the future. Just bare with us a tad bit longer :(
