Lagging on the server

[DemonSeed]

I have seen lots of complaints about people lagging on the server ever since shitty 1.3 came out. (It crashes everytime i disconnect or quit)

However try this Anti-Lagg pack,
http://www.fullysik.net/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item7

Works wonders for me, and none of it modifies your game to get you banned, it's just visual downgrades.

Also i still use the old sapt which is here http://www.fullysik.net/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item9 which removes motion blur and heat haze.

If you still lagg after this, i'll help you out even further.

It's not only lagging, the server (or only MTA on the server) goes down several times a day. Sometimes it's up again within a minute, sometimes 3 minutes or more.
I talk with Grim about this problem and told him to checkout some windows resources by login with remote desktop, or check some error loggings with the computer management option.

OK i'll look into this.

I will try to find some other chat icon resource we can use since the old one is outdated, maybe it can help somehow.
Kchaticon has been last released in 2008 and is most likely incompatible, no wonder I get warning spams about it.

EDIT: You can try this resource, I hope it won't show any warning messages anymore (otherwise, feel free to put the old one back)

Uploaded, hopefully it works well.

Still the same thing...
Not only the chat icon is causing problems, a lot of other resources seem to have outdated functions.


Btw, I don't have any lag problems.

If someone would like to run debugging while they play and jot down any error messages they happen to encounter that would be potentially very handy.

Going to post some more later.

Some more...

[DemonSeed]

Is there still a lot of lagg present?

I tried a fix, hopefully it helps.

[Demiveil]

What was this fix out of interest?

[DemonSeed]

Setting the affinity to 1 core, suggested by samt.

[Grim_Reeper]

I can definitely see some sort of lagg improvement as there is no more skipping of frames when I play in the server like i was getting.

Not so sure about the dropouts though.

Ive heard that my webradio script made some lag on the server, And while it shouldnt because its almost completly clientside except loading stations @ startup. And that it lagged the server even when it was off haha wtf, I've might have a solution to try, Ive used addEventHandler( "onSettingChange".... which might be called to often, so I deleted that line. And changed the Default_on to false, so that music is off as default. Other than that I have no clue what it can be.
