    I got back in again, but it still seems to drop me every now and then. Ping's a bit low to play at the moment, anyways.

    It might fix the CPU consumption but it'll certainly put bandwidth up, we'll see how it goes though :)

    If you wish I could keep a check on the Bandwidth, since this part of the box is on a VM - It's got a large priority though. I can check Bandwidth graphs using SolusVM if needed. - But for this i'll need you to inform me of when this change happens.

    Regards,
    Chris.

    Cheers for the dump glowfisch, I'll pass it on. Looks like IDs might be overflowing or collision garbage collection not doing its jump.

    @Chris: yeah graphs etc would be good. The change will have to be made by you (swapping a flag from compressed to uncompressed transmission) so you'll be sure to know when to start measuring, though bandwidth consumption estimates at the moment wouldn't hurt either.

    We might be doing some massive "refactoring" (rewriting) over the coming weeks so KAG might end up multithreaded anyway. Very handy to know that its the CPU usage that ramps up.

    Good & also bad news.

    Here's the /graphs/.

    Noticing that we only ran from the 26th of September... Heres the consumption for September on just this one process:


    2011 September 136.8 GB

    That's close to 20GB of B/W per day. Noting this is GB and not Gbits.

    This is quite high as a standard minecraft node of around 30 servers would take up 400GB of bandwidth in a full month, this is quite un-expected.

    The average amount of memory is 500MB for 60 Players - But the CPU is always peaking at 80-98%/core.
    Making this multi-core / threaded would increase the functionaility of this server much better. I'm also going to monitor more highly on it's usage on network, to see how much physical BandWidth it's chomping up each time it's got 60 players online.

    Am I correct in saying data goes from server -> client and not server -> master -> client?

    Regards,
    Chris.

    From Michal again (an email would be good so we can chat that way ;) )

    We'll still see if we can do any optimising, obviously, but it sounds like there's not much he can do at this point.

    Sounds more like it closed itself, as THE END is what we print before terminating. Odd. If you could pass those reports to Chris he now has Michal's email for directly reporting them.

    We haven't done a patch to change how terrain manipulation functions yet so knights still breaking castles is expected.

    @Geti , I don't feel too strongly about e-mailing him constantly about issues. I feel spammy.

    I will however compile a list and send it to him.

    I understand but adding them to the forum is i think a good thing the more people that are able to look at error's the higher the chance that there will be a solution :)

    We need the logs from gdb, not from the game. Some of the bad snapshots and deltas are good but for the most part that's "normal" output and not very useful for debugging :/

    It's odd. Other people have been complaining about being banned for no reason too.

    Like blitz.
