[Help] Players/Zombies (Update) Lag

Hey guys.

I know many threads have been posted about this, yet I think there's no clear explanation and certainly there's no fix at all.

So let's start with my server specs.

Dedicated Server:

This runs a TeamSpeak 3 Server and my VPS.

I properly configured a Failover IP as a dedicated ip for my VPS, and linked the Virtual MAC of the VPS network adapter to the IP.

So I am using KVM to virtualize this. The CPU is not the issue.

Running 5 Colorado servers:

I think the VPS should be enough to run 5 full 50 player servers, not sure though.



The lag I'm talking about is the well known updating lag where zombies/players break and rubberbrand, I think this isn't CPUs nor RAM's issue, disk isn't aswell for sure as it is fast while the servers are running.

The issue isn't ping either as I have 60-65ms ping, nor is it an issue on my or other tester's end.

This is the teamspeak 3 server statistics.

I think that the issue is that the packets sent by the server are somehow lost.


I am using DNC's original files as I want to edit it all by myself. The ones found in here: http://forum.ragezone.com/f791/tutor...erver-1010574/

I am not an expert but I'm not a newbie either, I have some experience with programming languages hence why I believe I can do this, but I'm struggling to fix the lag issues on my server and I wanted something else rather than a "workaround", even though I will reduce the 100 Tickrate that the servers originally run in as this isn't counter strike.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that yesterday we were testing (3 players at the airport) and everything seemed fine (original 100 tickrate).

It has nothing to do how good your server is. Somewhere in the code there is a massive issue.

But what exactly is wrong? Has anyone fixed this on their own?


Is it packet loss? Packets are too big? What is it exactly? De-sync?

So, quick update, not sure if any way related to this but I found a major performance flaw in the game server source code. Will post a thread about this.
