Server Issues: Crashes, Lag, Restarts, Rollbacks

Small report.

Ok yesterday evening started out very nicley i started playing around 18:00-19:00 Swedish time.
Not much lag to talk about then at all. Menus a tad bit slowish but atleast not getting stuck at all
in the ways it did the days before, even tho there where atleast 190 online. so i was a happy camper .
However, later in the evening around 22:00-23:00 Swedish time i started having problems with a little lagg again,
most of all in movement and the map didnt update at all, had a white map for loong periods of time. i might add
that we where out hunting and it was hard to orient with a complete white blank mini map for most of the time.

Indeed, can confirm that.
Also, right now, when I logged in 190-ish players, the minimap loads VERY slowly and the game in general lags a little bit.
Also, the forum pages load really slowly most of the time now.

Hmm, what did you guys do when the server was down yesterday. The game is running smooth as silk right now. Never seen it like this

Loading the world itself and cabins take a bit longer than they did before the lag started, but other than that it's very fluid now

i had the abnormaly of not seing any cupboards for half an hour or so today . first i thought someone had smashed them all and the stuff had already decayed but in the end they suddenly turned up

Killer lag now. This includes contacting the H & H main site and the forum pages loading.

230 people on, might be related?

Edit: Five minutes later has just dropped to 120 people on and the lag connecting to the forum and the home page have at least improved. Is it possible that lag caused a mass exodus just now?

I can't connect to the game
It actually refuses to connect.
Had evil lag too before I quit out of the game.

Horrible lag when moving now. Delay on moving objects as well.

Hm. I discovered just recently that Jorb's connection actually is only half duplex. I'm also noticing that RTTs to the external router start spiking pretty badly at just 600-700 kB/s of combined traffic. It may be that it won't scale much further than what we're currently trying to pull from it. In that case, I'm not really sure what to do, except maybe switch to some hosting service. I'll be holding off any judgement on the issue until I get the bandwidth shaper working again, though.
