What is going on with the server? Public Complaint - Take Action

[tomos]

but why there is so much lag with other players i losted a lot of missions..

This is because server has been acting strange for about 1,5 week but no one seems to have noticed that and apparently, nothing can be done.

Did you see what mick just replied?
It's caused by the script since it uses too much plugins and mysql that uses alot of queries at peak hours. That makes the server become lagged and eventually crashing.

Oh. My bad, sorry.

Even though my ping is around 200, i would lie if i said that i notice a difference. There is no noticeable delay in cmds either.
In my opinion, server is a lot better since it got moved away from UK. At least it works lol

@Konali server crashes are not host's fault. Server uses many plugins, including old version of mysql, which I suspect is the reason for crashes. In peak time there is more queries handled by the said plugin, thus higher chance of crash. I can't update it because it's not supported by gamemode and rescripting parts of gm to work with the new plugin is a lot of work.

Maybe start working with it, even step by step, we will wait 2-3 months, but knowing that we are waiting for something you are doing is positive, like collecting €100 by saving €1 everyday

$nake it's not as easy to say ok get it done and working. mick has other stuff as well as CVT such as his schooling. And when working with databases it's not something that is as easy as sitting down and doing an hour or two then testing.

I don't really feel like this is a MySQL problem. True, the R7 plugin is way faster and it would take some time to switch over from R6 (if you are using BlueGs plugin). However, this is not only MySQL and I have heard from other people that Volt servers are going bad lately.

@Matias.: I hardly see mods online. I saw Benny today and Marc(cc). I do see you more often than others (with the exception of brane, luismi, vikingo and TheSandman as I see them a lot as well - Viki has a great response btw )

I saw alot of replies about the new location, but i would love to remind you guys, the only arguement that is going on here, and why this topic was made is that, in the last few days a change took place and this might not occur every day, but lag spikes and server crashes and a small increase in packetloss are the result of that change.


As i understand from mick, its not really Volt but CT side because on peak hours it needs to progress more information than on quiet hours:P

[Killatron]

Old Mysql... explains everything tbh.. almost all the servers i have been involved in have had troubles like this at one point or another and it's always the F***ing mysql latencies.. some one really should come up with something better

That said.. ploughing into some one cos we both lagged is getting a bit tired.. but not as tired as everyone claiming that they couldn't possibly be the one laggin'
Seriously shape up people we all have these issues but it's not hard to just make some allowances and KEEP YOUR DISTANCE till this gets sorted.

[Lindsey]

I've got no issue with the higher ping, it's good to have protection and now almost everyone has similar ping

[Calvingreen17.]

The question is - do you enjoy this way of playing (lags, crashes, logging in/out 5x times an hour)? Because I don't.

PS: I love the server, but some improvements would be welcome. I cannot understand policy of "play don't bitch no matter what".

I admit, besides my fairly low ping, Arizona is kind of disappointing. Though the server IS up, it does tend to lag and crash. Then again, Volt is bad so, we'll see what happens from here.

@Konali server crashes are not host's fault. Server uses many plugins, including old version of mysql, which I suspect is the reason for crashes. In peak time there is more queries handled by the said plugin, thus higher chance of crash. I can't update it because it's not supported by gamemode and rescripting parts of gm to work with the new plugin is a lot of work.

Also, regarding commands taking seconds to execute, a lot of commands query the database, thus take longer to execute. This includes commands like /stats, /contacts, /forsale, even /vip and many more. It is normal that these commands take longer to execute, because they send query to the database and wait for response.

Yes, they are threaded. That's why they take longer to execute.

Say what? Because of threading, you can run the server on one thread and the query on a seperate thread decreasing the time drastically

Definetly agree with everything stated in this topic, I don't know who wouldn't agree, there's the fact that the host is in Arizona and most, not all but most of the players are from Europe and southwest Asia so i think it would be best to move the server closer to it's players!
