Whose Idea is it to have a ZOMBIE server in the New DM server?

[BigPapaDean]

All that will happen is it will be replaced with another failed server in the not to distant future! 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!!!!!

[Labob]

In the morning Dean  I'll try to answer this. You won't like it so get ready buddy

[blackcat]

I requested  a zombie server, we had one that we played on  before  and it was a lot of fun. You should have come and played with me Dean.

[djMot]

I think the short answer is that we're looking at what mods work well on Linux servers vs Windows servers with an eye toward obtaining dedicated servers of our own rather than renting shared server space.  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.

[Sitting-Duc]

I have already said in the past that if you guys are having too many issues then we can revert to hosting elsewhere. At this point if you are not having much luck then the servers with problems can be moved away to a Windows server or a different game host.

 

Now if I am getting what you guys are saying correctly (in this thread and others):

 

74.208.70.146:28960 >XI< Modern Weapons Mod - Running OK on Linux?

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?

74.208.70.85:28960 >XI< DM Custom Maps 2 - Having some issues? are they network or mod related?

8.12.17.103:28960 >XI< Vietnam FreezeTag 1 - Running fine?

50.97.113.65:28960 >XI< REDLINE - Running fine?

 

Please clarify that for me so I can look at some options.

 

[Mekketom]

the dm1 has a lot of lag. and ping spikes.  and every change that has been done on it.. makes my damn ping higher.. lol. 

[Labob]

Dean first. 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?     Network and player related

74.208.70.85:28960 >XI< DM Custom Maps 2 - Having some issues? are they network or mod related?   Working fine just map issues rotations to long not a problem

8.12.17.103:28960 >XI< Vietnam FreezeTag 1 - Running fine?   Yep running fine.

50.97.113.65:28960 >XI< REDLINE - Running fine?      Running fine but would like on the Linux server to free up some money have researched and should run fine on Linux

[Damage_inc-]

why so many servers anyhow??seems like a waste-.only 2 I see get any real dedicated traffic...vietnam and dm cm1 is that correct?.so just have a 3rd  trial mod server...save some money

[Labob]

And there all back on the so called crappy server 

[blackcat]

I don't know if it's me or not, but I don't have a problem playing on the dm1 server, it runs fine for me. But I've been playing it mostly at night, late when there are only a avg of 9 or so players, so maybe if they are having problems during the day, it could be to many playing at one time.

Bob the reason I end up playing on server one is most of the traffic is not aware of server 2 and server 2 is not very active because of that. 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!

I get BIG CI's and spikes on a regular basis on DM1 server. My limited experiences on DM2 has definitely been better.

[2_MANY_BEERS]

We just had 8 people in playing the MW server and it went tits up in between maps. Now there is only one player in there playing so good luck with these Linux servers, they are crap.

 

We just had 6 people in playing the MW server and it went tits up in between maps again.

There's a tear in my beer and Im crying for you dear.....you are on my lonely mind.....oh sry got destracted for a moment..YOUR DOING AWESOME AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO..KEEP IT UP BUDDY!

[HarryWeezer]

Other than rare CIs, I'm not having a prob. on DM1. 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.

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?    The answer for this server would deff be network !!!!

[Labob]

Yea  I don't really know whats going to happen to the second DM server right now so I'm not keen on the idea of getting everybody using it till we do know. 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.

[skuzapo]

8.12.17.103:28960 >XI< Vietnam FreezeTag 1 - Running fine?   Yep running fine.

 

Dunno who said Yep running fine. Ping spikes and kicks for md5 tool queries.

[GhostfaceJim]

8.12.17.103:28960 >XI< Vietnam FreezeTag 1 - Running fine?   Yep running fine.

 

Nope!  It's been getting really high pings, CI's, and sometimes hard for me to even connect?  For the last two weeks at least!

[2_MANY_BEERS]

Well myself, I have been bouncing back and forth like a red rubber ball between the 2 DM servers depending which one is up at the time.

 

[LtLaszlo]

Last night there were 5 in dm1 and 6 in dm2. Went to dm2 for a while, but it soon crashed/locked up, so we ended up back over in dm1.

[blackcat]

I don't know if this makes any sense or not. 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?

No..  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.
