Epic War server lags every night at 9:00PM and 10:00PM?

[xeanderthal]

I see a few people have used some sort of ping plotter to see what's the what.

This, by any chance, isn't effecting the Greed server is it? I noticed some odd lag recently.. bout a few days ago.. early in the week? 4.20-23.13

The continuous lag is caused by comcast illinois backbone switch:
173.167.57.126, aka as4436.350ecermak.il.ibone.comcast.net


I'm getting 5-20%PL from that one hop.

The lag was very bad last 2 nights, all the time I was on it. Last night it got to the point where I had to disconnect around 10:40 east coast time.

the last 2 days lag is caused by
173.167.57.126, aka as4436.350ecermak.il.ibone.comcast.net


for the regularly scheduled lag, however, I have a tracert that shows no problem while the lag is occuring... almost like its not network related but a serverside issue. Perhaps requesting it gets moved to a different server? One in Denver would be nice.

Oldy, I haven't been able to capture a tracert at the time of the problem but the moments when there are lag looks pretty much like the times there isnt any lag.

Any idea what the crazy pings are about the last 2 days including today? I know Barrr, shanexx & a few others are having issues as well. Today even with an empty server its hard as hell to even play. I normally have a ping of 60-90ish depending on server load, now its bouncing around 200+ Like barrrs was yesterday :/ resulting in a little packet loss. I have tried a few other servers & had no issues, so its not my net. Even reset modem, router & changed my Ip for ****s n giggles & had no effect.. =UT3A= Burgh Gaming seems to be the best running War server

If people's reports are accurate, that it happens regularly and precisely on the hour at 0000 and 0100 ET for about ten seconds each time ... must not there be some scheduled task on the OS that's interrupting service?

I completely agree, it has got to be some sort of OS task that is scheduled to run at that time. I doubt there is an actual problem that tracerts will help discover, but it does make sense that they want to see them before helping as the majority of the issues they troubleshoot, tracerts are extremely useful.

I think a datacenter admin will just find some sort of automated task is running at that time, or somewhere close enough that affects the servers innernets connection.

Escalating the issue to those people who know UT servers is probably a good idea.

Right right, I know it's because they're asking you for the traces ... I'm just afraid of them wasting your time, given the apparent nature of the problem.


(btw I did not actually mean "payattentiontomeeeeeee[/]", that was a rib into wikkid's post )




GJ/GL/TY @ flak & oldy ... this stuff is no fun

[Bubbaxm2]

Ask for your ticket to be escalated to Jake Bauer or some guy named Brandon something. They are about the only ones there that know anything about UT servers or even give a ****. If they don't ever get assigned to your ticket be prepared for a never ending circle jerk of never finding anything wrong. Definitely request Jake first though, I get the feeling he might actually even be a gamer lol. Good luck though, because in the end they will probably just recommend that you move the server lol.

I have paid attention, what you don't know is that the server provider needs me to send tracert's over to them to even look into it, so without them, they won't look into anything. So again someone get tracert's and send them to me and I'll send them then they will actually do something. I have sent several tickets in and each time its the same thing, its not happening now so send it when its happening.

Epic, change the f*ing host, for the servers.

Save everyone some time and switch the servers.

Do people really need to turn into *ssholes, just so they are heard... no wait...

[Oldskool0482]

If you all could send tracert's to my inbox on here that would be awesome. If I can send them multiple traces it will only make them do it more. So when it happens tracert the server from ur command line and copy and paste it and send it to me on here I'll gather them all and send them all in one. It can only help.

The Baby of Beerdrinkers remote-crashing the server is about as likely as the server being crashed by Polish's Mantaddiction.

Think it may have anything to do with jarred doing things to server ?

Well, jarred was spamming last night. It didn't seem to affect the server that much.
