AFA server woes

[Vega-don]

mm if it doesnt lag for Everyone then its my fault , forget it.

but for me and all the people i know (exept geogob now) afa is the only server laggin

and its strange that only AFA members (but geogob) says that they don't have lag issues, you people doesnt seem objective. "happens on every server.."


when i play on afa i have 250 ping + peaks to 400-500 when i shot

I'm not saying that I don't experience lag on it. I'm saying that AFA isn't the only server that lags. Pretty much every server I've played on lags at one point or another.

did you set your netspeed correctly?

 

[yurch]

no. Tiffy dont be a lier to support your clan.
afa laggs like hell and is barely playable and it is the only server to do that.
(vega did before but we fixed it)

You ARE connecting from a different continent.

 

[Vega-don]

only AFA. and im not the only one. so theires something wrong..

if you want to let it like thats no problem , but just be aware that 50% of the players or more are lagging more than on any other server (Euro or american)

121st server runs 20 people with almost no ping loss. AFA is set to 20, but is unplayable at 20 players. I have no trouble with AFA, but the max players should really be lowered to 12, or at least to 16. No way it can support 20 players.

As for demo's problems, i never saw any of those problems, not on AFA nor anywhere else. The only problem i ever see is the sliding, which is an indication for PL/lag.

NOTE: Directed to No One In Particular (tm) .. Grunt's ranting!

I've about had it with the bitching about AFA servers.

Bitching about it doesn't help us fix it.

I want them fixed as much as you do but I don't know where to begin.

Since some members seem to be suffering from a brain fart, AFA3 is the same machine and same host since 2.86. AFA3 has received many a compliment for it's low pings when it was running 2.86 and all the mutes we had on it.

So unless someone can present a solution and fix for me OR reimburse me for the dollars that have come out of my own pocket to up this server... STFU!

/rant off... flame suit on

Sorry Grunt, i'm not whining about AFA at all. It is by far my favorite server at the moment. It's just frustrating to see pings break through the roof as soon as more then 13 players are connected.

And please dont think i don't appreciate all the effort and money you put into it. I can't speak for others, but i am sure others feel the same.

My apologies for coming across as if i was complaining.

Sorry Blade, not singling you out or make you feel like that.

It's as frustrating for us as it is for you, the players.

The point of my post is: offer a solution, assist with a fix, bitching gets us no where.

I did offer a solution to one of the problems: Get rid of speechpad until Crowze fixes the
F3 problem. This might also fix the Voice mix-ups that I get on AFA.

As to the rest: I don't know exept maybe lower the player cap and remove some of the
high lag maps like Belfast.

This is fixed in SpeechPad V.50 (at least it is on GD Server) I *just* re-tested the F3 and all is well with SpeechPad v.50

 

[Grunt11Bravo]

Both AFA servers are running SpeechPad v.50.

As to the rest: I don't know exept maybe lower the player cap and remove some of the
high lag maps like Belfast.

Belfast was removed from the SPC server.

This is the SPC server's maplist:

EAS-INF-ArabOutpost
EAS-INF-BorderTown
EAS-INF-ChemicalThreat
EAS-INF-Chita46
CTF-INF-ExtremePrejudice
EAS-INF-Iraq
EAS-INF-Island
EAS-INF-Mostar
EAS-INF-PankisGorge
EAS-INF-Refinery
EAS-INF-Skopje
EAS-INF-Tuscany

Which of these are considered high-lag?

I selected maps that I thought played well in Specialist game mode.
When it was brought to my attention that Belfast created alot of lag, I removed the next day.

** EDIT: I just updated AFA3 SPC SVR to SpeechPad v.51 and set all occurrances of HBFixFrequency to 2 in the .ini file. I also tested to see if the F3 (show obj) key was working and it displayed the objectives just fine. **

Test the lag on this server everyone when you can.

Maybe it's because my physical location is closer to the AFA server then yours. My average ping on AFA is 80 ms.

 

[Bhruic]

BorderTown could be considered a high-lag map (lots of actors in it). Which is sad, because I like the map. Wish mappers would just leave glass windows out, they are nice and all, but really aren't necessary.

After reading I must say 2 things:
Don is not very good with public relation
You know, this the time of the month when he can be a bit troublesome.

2d thing
Although i got high ping on AFA (both) which is normal, there is a whole ocean between us, the lag appears (for me) when the server is full.
But maybe with ngstat disabled things will get better.

 

[erehwoN]

I don't care how many movers are in BT, it's staying in.

 

[geogob]

Agreed... this map is awsome

 

[sir_edmond]

You do kno the newest version is .51

 

[geogob]

btw, I just tested it... F3 work without any problems. In fact never had any problems on any server I play with this (which means AFA AFA3 GD INForce and, on occasion, MUF).

And my current average ping to AFA is 46. no wonder that I have less lag problems than some of you.

 

[Vega-don]

well vega Laggs AGAIN
and for afa being far away.... please, theire is a real problem , i played on afa for 2 years now without lag
