i am not sure if the admins/creators/important people are aware of this or not (i apologize if you guys are), but i have noticed never-ending lag spikes throughout all of the ESF Central, West, etc... servers. i start swooping someone, all of a sudden its attack of the lag and at some points i actually get dropped from the game :( anyways enough of the complaining. i was wondering if this is an issue with the internet or something with the beta, or something else (i cant really think right now, been runnin on a huge lack of sleep). anyways id appreciate a heads up on whats goin on with those servers and if theres a way to fix it in the future etc.... Thanks in advance. Peace

It's not devil. Those servers suck. Try to avoid them if you see something else open with a decent ping.

i think greg is in charge of the esforces servers
and i agree, they have been "very" unstable lately
i suggest for now going to the =PT= server
its fun IMO:)

What's your game handle?


/ontopic: I still hit the official servers once in a while. Playing through lag is a nice work out to get you better prepared for playing without it.

The PT Server is the best one I've ever played in, aside from Raggy's, but Raggy's is gone. Plus you see guys from [::Z::] and a couple of times I bumped into [ape] people in PT, and people like Mystix and such...

...all the well-known forumgoers seem to pop up there. hehe. Always a good fight and seldom any cheese. >:0)

Is it because the servers don't have good enough bandwidth?

At my work, my boss is a really cool guy (he's also a close family freind) and i've been trying to set servers up over there. I have a dual t3+ connection there, and 200gb server space i can use for multiple servers.

I'm still talking him into it, but so far this mod is my favorite over the rest, especially with all the new stuff coming :D

I'll try to talk him into it guys....If i can i'll be able to get about 12 servers each able to hold up to 16.

There are a lot of in-game factors that cause lag as well.

1.) BIG explosion
2.) Making beam circles (twirlies) go around more than one thing (ex. one spike to another in esf_cell_day)
3.) Firing piccollo's scattershot randomly in all directions by turning around again and again. This is known to cause a lot of spikes.
