Nofew Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Whoo, here's three! Most people who join my server say that it's the only server without any sort of lag, and that fighting is actually very feasible here. My system has handled around twelve people in the past before starting to drop below 60 frames. I'm currently running three servers at once. From what I can tell, I have enough headroom to run eighteen four-player servers. The bottleneck's my connection at that point, not CPU. I just went around now and asked all the people if they're experiencing any lag apart from the 1/8th second of a delay when they pick stuff up, and everyone reports that there's absolutely none. (One person reports occasionally getting stuck, but I think his connection's just bad. He's on one of the servers I have running at a tickrate of 150.) Profiles one and two have a tickrate of 150. Three has 15. Based on my own experience connecting from my own system to my own system with a ping of 3 milliseconds, turning the tickrate up above 15 has absolutely no effect other than using more bandwidth. The system in question runs on an i7-3930k overclocked to 4.4 ghz. Although it's probably not at all important since there's no graphics, considering we're calculating frames I'll mention that I'm running two Titan Black's in SLI. More servers'll probably come over time. I start a new one whenever I die since I still want permadeath to mean something to me, and I leave them running until they're empty before closing them. EDIT: Forgot to mention, but there's no activated mods. There's ones that are downloaded, but none are turned on. Totally vanilla, basically! Yay, sane debugging and testing and stuff!Profiles_02272015_0104.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelatous Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Right now the server is at an almost complete standstill with two players. I generated a profile and I got this, which probably isn't what I should have gotten: profile.json.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer bizziboi Posted February 28, 2015 Author Developer Share Posted February 28, 2015 @Gelatous, Yes, your server seems in limbo. There's 3 players (one with 500 ping), and in the 3 second profile not a single frame was executed, but the profile did finish. And your system seems performant enough.What OS are you on? Were you running the client on the same machine? (saw a user with 0 ping). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelatous Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I'm not hosting the server (hosted by jestservers) but I'm pretty sure it's being hosted on a Windows operating system from the .dll files in the server directory. So I wasn't actually running the client on the same machine, and I'm not really sure when the lag started. The CPU usage graph was showing constant 13% (I have never seen it go above that) and as for memory it peaked at about 384 MB. I logged in and it took about two minutes to load the game world, but I looked at the log.txt and it said I 'joined the game' despite still being at a loading screen. When I got to the game I couldn't move and my character was colored darker than normal as if the lighting wasn't working.The world was on Day 264, and I believe right after generating the profile there was a third person on the character selection screen. The person with 500 ping was me after joining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer bizziboi Posted February 28, 2015 Author Developer Share Posted February 28, 2015 @Gelatous, Very strange. It's almost as if the server was stalling on something, and as soon as it hit the first profile 3 seconds had passed and it stoped - I've never seen this happen before, but will definitely ponder and discuss it. Any improvement if you restart the server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelatous Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I restarted it and loaded up the same world, CPU usage is showing 5% and RAM is at 300 MB. Good host and no lag, but my ping is at 62 ms. Also I probably should've mentioned this before but the server is running at a tick rate of 10...

Developer bizziboi Posted February 28, 2015 Author Developer Share Posted February 28, 2015 Could you do me a favour and grab another profile when there's 3 players on? It'll give me a bit more insight, although what you experienced I can't explain yet. Was it close to midnight on the server (wondering if it was saving the world - do you have rollbacks enabled)?

Gelatous Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I have enable_snapshots = false, but I do have enable_autosaver = true. I'm not sure if the world was saving, but I was reading the log.txt to determine why I couldn't log in, and I saw the server progressing with my connection attempts (New incoming connection <IP>, SPAWNING PLAYER AT:, etc.) but I didn't see anything about the server saving the world. Unfortunately I think the server crashed while I was zipping up the profile and the log.txt got overwritten so I can't tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developer bizziboi Posted February 28, 2015 Author Developer Share Posted February 28, 2015 @Gelatous, Thanks - that's much more in line with what I'd expect. I'll have to ponder what happened there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToNiO55 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Hi @bizziboi, do you need new profile for rog?I noticed that there was less lag but this is due to an improvement of the system?I always use mods that can generate lags as renewable world,but can be that you can not do anything to it? do you have some news about the multithreading option?we are always here to help you improve the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelatous Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Another limbo-ism has occurred. Day 310 and server has been up for I think about 24 hours. This time when I generated profiles I made sure something was on them.limbo.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer bizziboi Posted April 14, 2015 Author Developer Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hi @ToNiO55, Sadly, the physics multithreading is still not safe, my todo-list grows faster than I can knock it down. Having said that, on most servers physics doesn't seem to be the main issue, so the gain from it is minimal (but it's a gain, and I obviously want to make it work). Lag may have improved, small changes definitely have gone in over time.@Gelatous, Wow, yes, that's limbo for sure. I have no idea what's going on there, will have to investigate. Any chance you could send me your save file? Edited to add: Also - when it ever happens again, could you check memory usage? What's the amount of memory your dedi is equipped with?

ToNiO55 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Hi @bizziboi, no problem, and thx you for news im still interesting for multithreading, because I think that better could be again for multiple servers but it is true that since the release ROG I noticed a lot less lag on my servers so thx very much bizziboi and thx all devs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelatous Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Looking at the memory usage graph, during the time the server was online it was using less than 400MB - but I've had it use more than that without it being in a frozen state. Also, if server_save_slot = 3, would that mean that I need to upload "/save/survival_3?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer bizziboi Posted April 15, 2015 Author Developer Share Posted April 15, 2015 Also, if server_save_slot = 3, would that mean that I need to upload "/save/survival_3?" Ah, no, that changed with the rollback support.You'd have to check in saveindex what the session id is for the given slot, go in that directory under sessions and grab the highest numbered file (which is your most recent save). (This reminds me I should probably add a command to grab that file while in world) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gelatous Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Okay I think I found the world file, it should be in NewZip.zip. Also today there were 28 people on the server without noticable lag but the host was 'OK Host.' I've attached a profile in maxCapacity.zip.

Jeffs Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I haven't yet had a problem with my dedicated server, I run a public and private server, nobody is playing the private one at the moment tho. Also I run a task scheduled batch script which shuts down the servers everyday at 08.00 GMT and runs the update, and restarts them. The only thing thats bothering me at the moment is that I can't track the usage of my server, for example I use gametracker.com for my Team fortress server, wondering if something like that will come along fro DSTAnyways - Copying Skull's Layout Name: Jeffs' Pubilc Wilderness Server - ROG!Host: Dedicated (Self hosted in the UK) Mode: WildernessDay: 7Season: Autumn Players: 4/32 Mods:DST Map Reveal Specs:HP Prolient 360 G6TWO Xenon E55045x146GB SAS Disks Raid5 40GB DDR3 10600 ramServer 2012 profile.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
