lag spikes

[albator]

I am getting huge lag spikes since about 2 weeks + now. When I am in TAS battle room it somtimes takes 1 or 2 minutes to get what I wrote.
I also get disconnected from TAS a lot

It seems other players has same problems too. I wanted to know which was the issue, if that was coming from somthing wrong in my config or if it was related to something else.

server overloaded, everybody has that problem.

It is strange, I never counted so few players. Could autohosts be a problem ?

Yes, more excactly the DSD autohosts

Seriously:
Not only lobby server runs on the server but also a buildbot for the engine, bugtracker, forum... (i dont know excactly what all that is, just read about it and appearently there are some problems)

we got so many new players that server cant handle.








but seriously

So you say this has been done on purpose to drag people from TAS to ZeroK lobby ?

[smoth]

I am not sure how you came to that conclusion albator

[Wombat]

erm no. u can use both lobbies to connect to both of these adresses.

(no timeout so far)

[Karl]

Total Annihilation Spring? Did you sleeped under a rock?

[smoth]

Albator meant tas:client the betalord/satirik project.

[jamerlan]

Do you plan to fix that? This is very annoying
What you need to fix that?

10 poeple are playing spring on backup server 1 cause they cannot connect to main one now

I am not sure how you came to that conclusion albator

I am just trying to understand why if a problem exists and the solution is known (as far as i understood it is a matter of adress of the main serveur, tell me if I am wrong), why it is not done. I dont expect anything to happen, this is not my serveur, I just want to understand the purpose of that

[Licho]

Aegis turned off the main server during period of high load to make people connect to lag-free backup.

[Forboding Angel]

Why is the backup server not a direct clone of the main server?

[Wombat]

connecting to springrts.com solves all problems apparently :'
