I made another Freeze 1 because of all the lag and CI's on 8.12.22.50 but now I see people still playing on that server instead of the new one. Just a little confused on what server to keep running, I was going to close down 8.12.22.50 at the end of this month but if its working fine now there is no need to make a change. Please vote on which server to keep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I think some just have not gotten the new IP and are following everyone esle. Zoe treid to tell us one day but everyting at that time was peachy. Maybe shutting the old one down will do the trick. People will follow the crowd. Thanks for all your efforts Rugger! and xi admins. PEACE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not lagging anymore (instead of some screen lags at the first 5 - 10 minutes..) and the only reason some are still playing on the old one is that both come up when you look for the xi ftag1 server and most of them don't know which one is the new and which one the old. But whenever i see some on the old server, I tell them to switch, give them the new ip and it worked that way pretty good the last days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to more then likely reformat my PC this week and show my kid how the procees works. then I will have a clean system to try again and see what happends. I will also try today and see if I get the same issue. The Only issue I seem to get is when you have some high ping players, I know when they are close to me in the game, I start lagging a bit more I find that in both server 1's at the moment. I guess what I am trying to say in 100 words or less... is they are both the same for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say for me it is worse, ping is higher and there is screenlag the first minutes. Maybe the rate is set incorrectly ? In the lagometer is see that the bottom green line is too thick. However the old server has more packetloss, so it's a mixed result for me. I play from NL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Sever 1 (8.12.22.50) still better even now without being completely fixed then the new server, pings from 67-78ms light green with an occasional thick green with a yellow spike here and there. Typically I won't even play on a server with a ping over 100ms but absolutley never over 120ms, which is how I found XI in the first place, but I gave it a shot anyway and my test confirmed my rule was still valid, just doesn't have the gameplay quality or potential I am looking for. Side note, tracert for some reason is redirecting to 208.68.139.38 from Portland to Denver to Chicago and then Boston for some reason comcast is redirecting to their NXDOMAIN intercept. Since they just recently won that internet court case they can legally prioritize types of data and bandwidth anyway they want so I'm a little suspicious if the problems are related.

I won't go into too much detail but it's all to do with routing tables within the routers which tell the traffic which direction next to take. The number of routers it goes through is known as the number of hops it has to take. The less number of hops the quicker the traffic will get there, and the lower your ping will be. You can see this by doing a "trace route" to the IP address in question. open a command prompt and type "tracert 8.12.22.50" without the quotes, then hit return. Do the same with the 208.100.0.133. I have added mine below. Traffic will always try to take the quickest route, however as you see from mine below that one of the routers tried a specific path which didn't exist. It then looks at the routing table it has been configured with, and trys an alternative route, which can be longer. As a consequence, the old server had one extra hop than the new one, and the new server for me is some 5-10 ping lower. I know that either Stormcrow or Iron were getting a ping of 40 on the old server and on the new server about 95-105. After doing a trace route he went from 2 hops to 7 (approx). So you are correct in one respect, that depending on your ISP will depend on which route to take (some taking extra hops). It also depends on distance, so if the old server was on the West Coast, and the new one on the East Coast, then the distance to the new one will be less, and subsequently less hops to take. Hope this helps explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
