Server issues: New server

[Tacheron]

Ok, I just found something.

When you click to build a carpet, the image of the carpet doesn't show on your cursor like it does with everything else.

That's how it's always been, though. ;)

[Tacheron]

Hehe, wasn't sure, yeah - haven't been building those for ages

Since the new server is now up and supposed to be running, I'm retiring the old server issues thread. I'm sure it will be greatly missed. The performance and functionality of the new server are not yet known. Please post any issues you come across in this thread. Do NOT make new threads in the Inn or Bugs forum.

Known issues:

• There is some weird kind of lag that happens because the server hangs on the CPU for some time -- I've seen everything from 8 seconds time 3 minutes. I need to catch one of those red-handed to track down the cause. You will notice this in-game by everything stopping as if the server had crashed but resuming again some time later.

if your h&h server runs on java and take just 100% cpu usage and hang some seconds(left 700% cpu)
that's a java Full GC problem can't solve that this time
just wait for java GC patch for multicore and set more Mem to java deamon
and if you use Intel cpu turn off Turboboost and C1E, EIST, HT
that's the problem why performance going down

It doesn't, though. It's written in C.

I have similar issues with one of my servers, it completely stalls for some time and then continues like nothing has happened.

This also affects SSH sessions, so i can't look into it when it's happening.

I think it's some kind of intermittend routing problem (that SSH TCP packets are simply lost, and get retransmitted).
In case you have a different view on what's happening: i would be interested to hear it.

ok i havent played on the new server until this evening.

this is my experience.

First i logged in with the default client. I had a loong loggin time as i usually have, about 5 min or so , this time the logginscreen was black though. i experienced the same lagg as i almost always have. After that i logged in with Gilbertus client, had the same loong logg in time and again the logg in screen was black so another 5 min to logg in.
i have been experiencing the same annoying lagg as always if not even more lagg then usuall this evening. I was harvesting and sort of have to wait like a sec or a few seconds in between when i plant seeds or get totally stuck for a little wile and the suddenley pop up where i was going, when i harvest i tend to click the harvest pop up away becouse it takes such a loong time from the time i right click the crop until the harvesting menu comes up that i will think i miss clicked and click again only to see a second later the menu go down again and the i have to right click again to get the menu up and when i finally manage to click the harvest command it takes several seconds before i actually start walking to harvest it, i can see on the the ourglass wile harvesting that it is lagging. walking is a pain in the ass i keep walking wrong couse of the lagg. and so on and so on

basically to make a loong story short, im sorry to say but this new server made no difference for me at all, i even sense its a bit worse for me after the change .

On a side note. Before the server change i was actually able to get rid of the worst lagg by going inside a house for a short wile and did not experience any lagg inside at all, and when i went outside again i was able to keep the less laggy mood for a little wile until it got bad again.
However, today that trick did not work at all, i lagged inside aswell as outside.

Just thaught idd let you know.

Emina lags

Then i suggest you search for the problem on your computer.

When i start my client i'm ingame within 15 seconds (and this includes the time i need to type in my credentials).
Everyone in know (and firsthand from me myself) who have been on today voiced that lag is virtually gone (apart from seldom short freezes once an hour or so) and the game is quite snappy.

So i guess the problem is on your computer (since the 5 minutes you claim it needs to start initially) or with your internet connection.
Maybe try to disable stuff clogging up your uplink (eg. filesharing clients, watching online video streams etc.) ?
