2.2 Beta Laggy?

[Gremmie]

Hi, I downloaded and installed the 2.2 Beta today. It's great!!! It was a big hit. One thing everyone noticed however was some lag compared to our prior mod. Are you aware of any settings or something we can use to control this? Are there too many threads running or anything? I suppose it could be our gaming host, but it ran WRM without this problem. Thanks, and let me know what I can do to help troubleshoot this for you. I'm comfortable making small edits to mods.

Well, 2.2 beta has never been laggy on our server. Are you sure everyone downloaded the client, as that might give players a laggy experience if they don't have it.

BJR and WRM are comparable mods when it comes to CPU intensity, where I think WRM might have a few more calls running, but the difference should be unnoticable, especially on today's average gaming server.

Hi and thanks for the response. I believe everyone had the client. I know I did and I noticed the lag. I will hop on an AA server that is running it and try it there.

We may be having game host problems, I don't know. We were running WRM 6.9g and our server would crash periodically. So I found your mod and decided to try it out to see if the crash was mod or server related. It did not crash last night, but everyone complained of intermittent lag.

So can you give me a server IP with 2.2 Beta running? (Is it this one: 217.146.91.211:28960?)And possibly a recommendation on a good game hosting company that doesn't overload their servers? :)

Thanks again for any advice. The mod really looks great and I think we want to go with it if we can run it.

You have the correct IP. Be aware though, that server is usually empty. The four of us had a play on it last night, and none of us really noticed any lag.

As for a game hosting company, we have our own dedicated box at www.superserver.co.uk. I can recommend them to you if you're living in Europe ofcourse. I don't know many providers at all.

I now believe it is our server host causing the lag. The server crashed on us last night just like it used to do with WRM. I switched mods to try and isolate the problem to the WRM mod or the server. Since it crashed on BJustReal I am now suspecting our hosting company. They have promised me they will get it all resolved. I sure hope so. I think our clan is going to prefer BJustReal over WRM anyway. Getting knocked down by grenades or bashing and the helmet popping is a big hit. It does look kind of funny to see Germans wearing long overcoats on desert maps, LOL, but I don't think the mod can easily determine if the map is a desert map. :lol1:

Will keep you posted and will likely make a donation. Thanks for your work!

Been playing with BJustReal for a few weeks now. All of our lag issues appear to be server related. Our hosting company did something, now it runs smoother. Donation sent. Thanks for making the mod. We liked the weapon tweaks better than WRM (which seemed too extreme). We also like the bashing and grenade effects, dropping weapons, helmet popping, and the uniform changes. And it also works with your taunts! Thanks again.

Thanks. I am glad you like the mod and that everything is working fine.
