[cod] Laggy CoD:UO Server any updates???

Sat Jul 9 18:36:40 EDT 2005

We decided to take to CoD:UO server down from the linux box and run it from
the windows box.. Nowhere near as many issues there, but then again nowhere
near as many servers on this box either.

Even though we didn't get it fixed I still thank Jay tremendously for his
efforts.  I have never seen someone give so much and expect nothing in
return.

Thanks again Jay.

He still had issues with high cpu with cassino. I just don't get it. I can
run it on my systems and not see the cpu issue.

I only use one simple config, not five and six linking each other to
themselves....

He was also using pamuo and I don't put them on my servers....

I also found that pam caused the server to crash every once in a while but
the clients don't seem to mind...they just restart the server if this mod.

I have spoken to a hugh amount of people who create mods or who love to
tweak the code that is present for coduo.... 

They hate gm....  nothing new there, I would have expected that....

Why don't they just fix the issues and release the game new again? Oh
because COD II will come out. That's right.

But can they compete with EA {DICE} and BF - II? But then again...they are
still trying to fix their backflipped memory leak on all systems...

Gamestate.... here's a word of interest...... www.codextrem.com  - Buddie of
mine made this mod... awesome mod ... has all the bells and whistles....

But the mod is a cpu hog. 7 percent of one cpu while no one in the game....

If I personally knew that my creation could be tweaked and corrected, I
would fix it. I would release my second game, and then definately release a
fixed version of the first game, just to make everyone happy.

This cpu issue has caused thousands of dollars of loss -> gsp providers
feeel it the most as they battle for the lowest amount of cash, dinero, they
will ask per slot, making the gaming server providers whores in this
industry. Shame....

Doc. J, some people don't think like us.... we would release a perfect
version? Hell yea.

Ryan did a great job with what was provided to him and he receives our
praises daily, but the issue remains at hand.... the orginal code has way
too many flaws - but he prolly can't address them... cause I know he would.

But having a beefed up machine does help. Extra ram does help! People think
I am nuts when I show them new boxes such as ...

top - 15:40:49 up 3 days, 23:15,  1 user,  load average: 0.05, 0.06, 0.01
Tasks:  85 total,   1 running,  84 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu(s):  1.7% us,  0.1% sy,  0.0% ni, 98.2% id,  0.1% wa,  0.0% hi,  0.0% si
Mem:  10180040k total,  2615332k used,  7564708k free,   109000k buffers
Swap:  3068404k total,        0k used,  3068404k free,   912700k cached

But then again, when game servers run into this cpu issue, I always make
sure my boxes can handle the extra mile.

Jay is tha man!  It is going to be critical to have Jay around
for COD2.  His R&D skills are impeccable.  If he were in NY,
as CTO of a technology firm,  would hire him in an instant.

Say hello to him at clanwarz.net!

This is because the subject does not matter. I try to get
guys that can analyze themselves out of a box all the time,
hundreds of interviews and still always looking.  And yea,
we pay well.

OK Jay. Spit it out.  What did you change.  I am not having
major issues like 80% CPU, but UO FOY with all things a
blazing and 20 users will bring one CPU to 80%.

I currently run COD  max_rate at  15000
COD:UO max_rate at 25000

What is the latest tweaked Cvars  that made him a happy camper?

his stuff :D
