Brophy

@Silent said in Bad ping after logging in everytime: yea better idea if Brophy paid for other server cuz the server becomes as shit with this shitty lag,we can't get any fun like before,also that dump ping and FPS ...please fix it. To re-iterate to the people who do not understand how servers work and are easy enough to blame it. It is NOT the dedicated server that we use which is causing the issues. Our dedicated server has enough resources and bandwidth capacity to deal with everything we run on it without strain, the issue is a combination of multiple factors: People are relying on old machines and laptops which are not designed for gaming, especially with what MTA is doing with a game that was not designed for multiplayer. People with "good connections" are normally on no more than a 4-5mb connection and connecting from a location thousands of miles from the server location (which is London, hosted by OVH). Our game-mode has had things added to it over a 10 year period, a combination of different developers with different coding practices and skill set does not help. This being said, we know there are people out there with excellent connections, excellent computers and in a good location to the server and still experiencing issues, but not as severe, for example people playing in the UK and close surrounding European countries do not seem to be experiencing it quiet so often. We are trying to isolate and fix any potential resources part of the game-mode which is hindering player performance, especially client-side, but as you can imagine it's not going to be an over night fix.

You'll need to make sure your wifi adapter isn't trying to save power either. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your wifi adapter then look at the following: https://support.killernetworking.com/knowledge-base/wi-fi-power-settings/

You need to ask an admin ingame (on the server) to sort it for you.

Firstly we can take a look at any optimisations we can make to sync settings in the mtaserver.conf as it's been about 3 or 4 years since this was last done and other settings may have been improved or new ones added, I will ask MTA about it. If you can keep an eye out and note down at what particular events occur on the server when it happens, that would be great.

@Soul said in Server lag is making the server unplayable: @Brophy said in Server lag is making the server unplayable: As the for a new "sync" system, this has nothing to do with us and "sync" is provided by the MTA mod. I can agree with everything you said Broph, except the sync part. There is ways to improve it, perhaps have the developement team do some research and find ways to improve it. It can be done and it has been done. Cheers. Synchronisation is handled by MTA, regardless of what is sent between the server and client is handled by it. Sure you could write your own system to handle it via a custom plugin or via scripts, but I couldn't imagine it being any better or quicker than what MTA offers with their netcode and you would still have that custom system rely on people's connection and location to the server. We could possibly look at adjusting some of the server settings in the mtaconfig file.

We are looking into making the gamemode less "laggy" however people assume it's the server it's hosted on. It's not... Its not going to be a overnight fix either, it will take considerable time as our gamemode is like 12 years old now. You also mention Latin America players, do they realise they are playing on a server hosted in London some 5000 miles away, right? We are using a mod, no matter how good it is, is doing something the game was never designed for and what makes it worse is a large portion of people are playing on poor equipment, so their game lag and poor fps looks to you as "network lag". The more stuff you ask to be added etc will unfortunately put more strain on your computer. As the for a new "sync" system, this has nothing to do with us and "sync" is provided by the MTA mod.

Couldn't this be done in another dimension to stop people interfering, that way you can still use the current map.
