P3rf3ctVZer0 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Thank you kind people. You actually did fix the dreaded drone from hell error. I would like to report something strange is going in with chunks though. I have tested in navesgane and a RWG and the game keeps claiming a chunk is missing. What confuses me is I go to the location is the chunk is there in its entirety and everything in the chunk works fine. Its in yellow text so I am just going to ignore it. I just thought it should be addressed. (Note I am on a dedicated server running a20.5b2 EXP log won't help because it doesn't actually tell us why that is happening and nothing stands out.)

pApA^LeGBa Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) Can we search for ping now? Or simply put "any" in the region search? Are we able to see our whole favorite list at once, no matter wich search criteria is used and wich different regions my favorites are in?

Howlune Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Any multiplayer performance updates? Like not having this horrible lag with more than 15 people on a server we didnt have in a20.3? Does this have to do with epic/gamepass stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like not having this horrible lag with more than 15 people on a server we didnt have in a20.3? Does this have to do with epic/gamepass stuff? So I am investigating an issue. What happens if you play multiplayer but not party up? I am almost always getting 60fps. But can get as low as 30. Here is my setup. Tell me if it helps you. Try not partying up - I think I see small pattern with lag spikes related to mp sync in party. (Note I get 60fps only when not partied up also I have a mod which removes loot bags and corpses after 30 secs.)

I'm talking about netcode, or whatever they added or changed in 20.4 that made the netcode go from bad to worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3rf3ctVZer0 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) From what I can see it is entangled - frames across board seem more stable when not partying and unfortunately I don't quite understand the problem you have with the netcode. I personally I have not experienced what I would call netcode issues. I am basing my findings on performance dips and rises and I am also noticing a pattern with partied vs just allies. I am running additional party tests today actually. My findings uncovered two things. Lag in party is greatly affected by kill distance exp share. No lag for 1000M or 1 km All players across board experience hiccups based on Zombie spawning. More people would mean more zombie sleepers spawning Deduction - figure out how to spawn zombies with triggering hiccups. This would effectively fix 60% or more of lag spikes in game. Preloading takes too much ram and the current system as long as you don't have a large scale server seems to at least be effective.

gamerpaddy Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 a profile "fixer" is needed badly, going from 20.3 to 20.4 caused the ttp issue, now in 20.5 with the "fix" theres a bunch of profiles that wont load or just straight up crash the server. resetting profiles is just no option. you cant import them all to single player to run that super secret fixing algorithm, theres quite a few. how about implementing it in dedicated servers aswell? or at least make a external program that converts them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Code6 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 On 5/10/2022 at 5:23 PM, Code6 said: I will have to do some more testing. I am running the latest stable version. The only mod I have installed is the one that I made myself, but all it does it change the Localization.txt to Esperanto as well as the menu picture. I sure hope it is not my mod, but I will remove it and test. Thanks for the feedback. I removed all mods and the problem still persists. I would be surprised if I was the only one experiencing this. I included a few pictures to demonstrate. 1. two writeable storage boxes with no labels 2. labeled the first as "first" 3. go to the second box which still has no label 4. when I go to edit it, the text from the previous box is already prefilled. (This behavior is the same even if the second box had text on it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
