jrose78 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 the issue is whenever someone joins my server there is a 3 second pause/extreme lag with lots of sling back. After this new person connects things are fine again. I got my dedicated server setup in a custom directory and I play the game from this same machine. I had an issue with nat loopback on my router originally where I could not connect to the server from the lan. I installed shibby tomato firmware on it and that corrected it (I think there was an issue with nat loopback maybe).I am running the server 1 port down from the default and setup port forwarding.My machine is an i5 current gen with 16 gb or ram. CPU is around 12% tops . Internet is 100 mbps down 10 mbps up. Machine is networked via cable not wireless. Any thoughts?

rezecib Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 @jrose78, This isn't an issue specific to your setup, it's an issue generally. Not sure why it's affecting you more noticeably than most, but basically when a player joins there's a spike in network activity because it sends all the stuff to get them started. Hopefully this may be improved in the future, but for now I don't know if there's anything you can do about it.

I understand its beta that why I am posting about it. Not complaining . What I find strange is for example I am in the swamp and someone connects just as a tentacle spike is about to attack. I press the right arrow and hold it figuring once it unfreezes it will place me to the right of the tentacle spike but instead I am dead. Its like the lag is not taking any actions I do into consideration and the monsters don't have the lag. If the game is going to lag it should lag fair if that makes any sense.

n0wt Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Well, 3 seconds seems a lot to me, do you have a lot of mods installed and does other players on your server get the same issue ?

jrose78 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 Well, 3 seconds seems a lot to me, do you have a lot of mods installed and does other players on your server get the same issue ? No mods and I would "assume" other players are seeing the same lag as they start complaining around the time someone joins. I originally had connection_timeout = 10000 and moved that to 8000 to see if maybe that had something to do with it. Can someone answer a question for me. How do I check what the updates are for the dedicated server. How do I know what version I am on or should be on?

n0wt Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hey dude I don't know why this is happening, but connection_timeout line only affect the delay before someone get forced disconnected (8000 = no signal for 8 seconds will disconnect the player)For updates, go on steam and read the changes on DST.If you're launching server through steam, I think update will occur automatically. If you're running on dedicated server with anonymous login, I don't know if server will be updated, maybe a dev can explain Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/50152-lagpause-whenever-anyone-joins-server/#findComment-609719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
