A few bugs I've noticed recently

It's known bug that we already have listed in our repository.

 

As I've already stated it's completely unnecessary to close the server for maintenance; especially in an organized attempt to 'solve lag.'

We have a repository that constantly receives attention and stores a list of ideas and issues that we're aware of. Fixes and additions are tracked by the repo as they happen, and we release them with a simple map restart when the time is deemed right. With that being said development is happening much more frequently for our community than just every couple months like the community you mentioned. Never at any point are we required to 'shut down the servers' in order to perform maintenance or apply updates/fixes.

Besides I assumed I expressed the difficulty of organizing event to test tickrates. It would take too much effort to produce a result we're already able to produce. The comparison of tickrate simply needs to be looked into more closely, and is probably not a vital factor regardless.

I only mentioned it here because the issue of lag was surfaced and I was reminded that the tickrates are still different on each server. Yes, it could be a factor but it should be obvious enough that neither server is completely free of lag so it's not worth prompting an investigation.

In that case they should be limited the way I mentioned previously to prevent what you're doing from being possible.

Teams don't exist so that they can have an advantage over the lone players.

Since it currently works the way it does maybe the actual max prop limit should be closer to 20 and then the limit should be shared among the teammates as I said. Thanks for informing me that the limits don't work how I intended, and I apologize that I took your experience as an exaggeration; I'll look into making the limit more fair for all of the players in the game collectively.

 

We've always been aiming to increase the performance of our server and to reduce lag. It's one reason we had to go through the reset when we were switching operating systems from Windows to Linux. Switching to Linux was an attempt to lighten the load on the performance which definitely produced a result, but just not enough to show significant improvement within the server.

It was worth the trouble in the long run though because it will however help us when we open up the third Flood server again.

Currently the only idea I really have to increase performance would be to upgrade our dedicated machine, and currently we're loyal to our host until we can find another one of its stature or greater.

 

A known bug that only started occurring recently.

I wouldn't say we've properly investigated it yet but we're not sure why it's happening currently.

@jeffreythe00 managed to play with our config to magically help with the lag substantially.

Congratulations to Jeff for not breaking anything (again).
