<DIV>Although it's generally not felt when moving around ingame there is
considerable</DIV>
<DIV>lag issue with the linux server.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>entering and exiting vehicles takes 2-3 seconds and I've seen guys
pop in and out because</DIV>
<DIV>they started to hammer the button.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also accuracy is way out of whack because of the lag prediction code.
To hit with 9 in latency</DIV>
<DIV>you will have to imagine what it's like to have 300 in latency.
(predict the lag yourself!)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Third part are the connection problems on the server. I often get
connection problems messages</DIV>
<DIV>on screen even though the game doesn't haccup or shut down.</DIV>
<DIV>But then again it has also completely frozen at one time.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>These seem to be the major issues with my server</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>ps. - I don't run the server with gdb since I need it to autorestart
on crash (Doesn't work with ingame commands in linux)</DIV>

applies over the complete install, with or without the
previous<BR>>build. Just untar it so it overwrites the binaries and
README.<BR>><BR>>I fixed a metric ton of invalid memory accesses,
three deferences of bogus<BR>>pointers, and one serious memory
corruption (which I'm hoping was the<BR>>cause of all our
woes).<BR>><BR>>Please try it out. Usual disclaimer applies: this
works great here (but it<BR>>always has, so this is not at all a
comfort by this point, I'm sure), but<BR>>until I get some confirmation
from the field, I can't promise this won't<BR>>crash on connect,
etc.<BR>><BR>>And, for the record, valgrind is a _fantastic_ tool
for tracking down<BR>>memory bugs. If you are a programmer and aren't
using this on your code,<BR>>you really really should. It totally blows
away ElectricFence (which,<BR>>coincidentally, runs out of mmap()able
address space before the server is<BR>>finished starting...I've had
that problem with efence on every major game<BR>>I've used it with),
and dmalloc,
