The DM 2 server had a few problems but imho not half of what the DM 1 does. I don't get it we want to go with another failed attempt at a mod very few will play yet we don't want to truly deal with the problems on DM 1. Where is the logic in that. When you shoot someone and you empty a whole clip or maybe even 2 into them and they don't die but instead turn around and shoot you is definitely a strong sign something is wrong. Some of us has been playing there as of late and it hasn't crashed for several days. If anything this server should be switched to a Windows dedicated server. Hey now that's an idea. Why didn't I think of that? If the Linux dedicated server runs that great but has some limitations then why won't a Windows dedicated server be even better without all the limitations of a Linux server? Honestly we really do need to fix the damned DM 1! This seems like an old story we have told so many times before and I for one am getting frustrated that we can't get to the bottom of it all. I hear complaints like, "I can't hit anything" and "this is the only server I have this problem on". Hmmmm What does that mean? I'm just saying!!!!!

It's a strange period of trial and error that we're going through that may well end up with us having a greater variety of great COD5 WaW servers rather than 2 popular and 3 mostly ghost-town servers. But we need to know what works well where first. PissySocks, Labob, BUDMAN and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

If as you say the second dm server runs twice as good as the old dm server why do you guys always play in the old one ? Windows server gets an average of 9 players a day and the Linux server 2 players a day. So why you guys playing on the crappy server When you shoot someone and you empty a whole clip or maybe even 2 into them and they don't die but instead turn around and shoot you is definitely a strong sign something is wrong That Dean is video lag more then likely your machine or your ISP not the server hosting the game. As well the 2 DM games the one on a linux server and the one on the windows server are exact copy's of each other. So taking the linux one and making it a windows one is already done. Now for us not doing anything about this and trying to set up other servers to play on that you call dead servers is out right bullshit. This is all I've been doing for a month Beers OMG has spent way to much time working on it. Rugger and have been working on these server issues as well. COD5 is not the only group having problems. So I'll say this again. XI is renting a LINUX dedi box. If we can get games running great on it awesome. It does not cost us anything more. That means those low traffic games Zombie, Redline,Modern Weapons can stay and don't cost XI much and it gives us choice. The Acemod (dm) and the FT mod will stay on window servers . If the only reason I can think of for the resent issues on the DM server is population too many slots in the game. Dean would you like me to get that lowered for you, You can talk to the players and see if thats what they like. For would like to have a zombie server on the linux box you can just add it or switch the 74.208.70.85 to it. Zombie files are on that server and ready. 74.208.70.146:28960 >XI< Modern Weapons Mod - Running OK on Linux? Yes running well. Some map problems just means smaller map rotations 50.97.113.67:28960 >XI< DM Custom Maps - This server you are saying is having lots of issues? are they network or mod related?

Some said today thaT THEWY WAS HAVING PROBLEMS ON SERVER 2 WHEN WE PLAYED IT EARLY THIS AM! Sorry FOR THE CAPS AS MY HANDS ARE ALWAYS SEMI NUMB. i KNOW ON server 1 my problems come and go and I have done a lot of ping traffic testing and my access to that server is pretty good so I am assuming the problems with it is on the server end! I am not an expert by any means but there is more than one problem. Some days the high pingers rule and then some days they have their own problems just ask Mekketom!

One reason, Labob, that the "gang" continues to populate the DM1 server rather than the identical DM2 server is that many of them are not XI, though they have been playing on this server for years. They just don't know the server is there. It might help to run a scroll occasionally on DM1 to give them the IP of an "identical server" so they can try it out.

I'd hate to get everybody to change then change again ect ect. So I prefer everybody on the regular DM server. The server 50.97.113.67:28960 has not been there that long under a year for sure I think. We did change the location to try and get rid of the network issues CI crashes floating ping issues. That did not solve anything I might add. It did give different people something to complain about though. From what I can tell these days crashes on map changes ,connection issues, are not a game server issue so to say but a communication issue with another computer. IE the game is running just fine up comes a map change and the server loses connection to the master server. Big crash If that happens to a single to a few players thats their computers losing connection to the master server. Now with the same idea you can remove master server and add lets say Punk Buster or game tracker stats or Big Brother bot. So everybody saying its the server take a deep breath it can be many thing and alot of what we do not control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

But last night playing on the ftag server we had a player that his ping was all over the place, he was spiking up in the 800's, while he was playing the whole server was having problems. Belted was in there and Hunter I'm sure they noticed also. I left there and went to play on the dm server, a while later the same player came in pinging that way in that server,while he was playing I asked him if he had rebooted his machine and told him that the other players were not pinging so high like he was. He left the game and when he did, the server instantly cleared up and pings went down to normal. So I guess I'm really asking a question here, can one player pinging so high and it ranging from like 230 to 800 and something constantly effect a whole server or the game?

The idea that high-ping players lag the server has been a pretty pervasive myth in FPS gaming for a while now. You'd have to go all the way back to Doom and similar-era peer-to-peer lockstep methods to see it in an FPS. Some RTS games use something similar, which generally isn't an issue, but might be responsible for it being in the popular consensus. Duck, I would be happy to assist in troubleshooting all the COD server latency/lag issues if needed.
