    Im not really sure. I haven't had the opportunity to play another game with peeps tonight. Then again, I had it open to try and test if it was a data usage thing with youtube. youtube couldn't keep up with downloading 1440p resolution vids, I had to go to 1080p and quit vent so... maybe its my isp with data? I'm grasping at straws here.

    Have you tried resetting your router and modem? There isn't anyone in your house tormenting anything, is there?

  • PikaPuffPikaPuff Registered User regular
    I can grasp at straws, too. Turn off your wireless internet? Maybe someone's stealing your bandwidth~

    Well, some good news. It turns out my ISP *was* trying to throttle my connection speed.
    After a 40minute phone call, I got my ISP to give me a year of 50mbps download speed, and some premium TV channels for 5$ less than what I am paying now, eh~ small victories, but I'm getting what I am paying for finally. My vent issue has been fixed, but yes, I turned off my wireless connection as well for a while. I'll go into that and see if there are any unscrupulous neighbors of mine trying to piggy back it.

    Thanks for at least chiming in with some suggestions guys.

    Heh, for a while I was having problems with my internet randomly dropping out. Turns out in this small apartment building next door one of them had spliced the line so they could get free cable and their old-ass TV was apparently causing feedback on the line somehow.

    So the cable company went over there, fixed it, and yelled at them to not do that again.

    The problems started up again a few months later. Turns out they did do it again.

    The cable company came back out when they found out, but this time with the police as well. :D

    Had some fun times tonight, but I really need to check out a few things to (hopefully) bump my fps up by even 10 frames.

    edit: well, this is not at all the thread I meant to post in. Carry on.

    @PMAvers‌ - I've had long-running audio issues on the server. What codec are we running? I want to play with my sound settings on test with the right codec.

    Working on the Teamspeak - I am building a new linux host and moving the Teamspeak server over to it. The IP is also changing, and DNS should update within a few hours.

    NEW IP - 23.239.18.188 - FinalAck.com

    Everything else is the same. I will update once the move has been completed.

    EDIT:

    Server move is complete. DNS should be propagate within 24 hours. In the mean time you can use the direct IP if FinalAck.com doesn't work.

    Yay, donations!

    motherfuck dick ass cock, re: server being down, always happens when I'm at work. Restarted it, lemme know if it comes up.

    (Or if it was up and I just restarted it for no reason... Whoops.)

    Just as a heads-up...
    Network difficulties are currently being experienced in the Chicago, IL location. End users may experience elevated latency levels and/or an inability to connect to services. We are working on an effort to correct the issue

    EDIT: Oh, yeah, I should probably put in a "all clear" on this.

    @PMAvers have you gotten any notifications about the vent server? Seems like for the past week every night the server is getting huge lag spikes and dying

    Havn't heard anything, and there's nothing in my tracker about it. I'll put in a ticket about it. Is it doing it now?

    @PMAvers it's been dropping pretty bad over the last few days, making coordinating our teams in MWonline next to impossible.

    I just ran
    ping vent20.gameservers.com -n 100
    Min/Max/Avg=31/178/83
    24% Packet loss

    for comparison:
    ping finalack.com -n 100 (teamspeak 3 server)
    Min/Max/Avg=69/179/80
    0% Packet loss

    ping google.ca -n 200 (http)

    Oh, hey, as soon as I pull up my dashboard, I see this.
    We apologize for any inconvenience. We are aware of the issues affecting the Chicago location and are working to find a lasting resolution to it. We will update this alert when more information is available.

    Chicago is a terrible place for a server. Remember when I put the server in China? it was good times.

    jCyyTSo.png
  • PMAversPMAvers Registered User regular
    Yeah, I think I'm probably going to move it to the NY/NJ location (where I have the TF2 server) soon, because Chicago definitely seems to have issues.

    (I blame the bug spirits.)

    It seems to no longer be under maintenance/warning me about problems on my dashboard, so that's good I guess.

    Random snap executive decision: Going to go ahead and try switching data centers for the server tonight in a hour or two, while the population using the server is low. More than likely the IP will change.

    EDIT: And here... we... go.

    EDIT 2: Looks like it'll be vent15 instead of vent20 for a IP address when it comes up, it's in the middle of switching.

    A little late, but yes, vent15 seems to be a lot more reliable than 20.

    Taking the opportunity this morning to update the TS3 server to the latest linux binary. Downtime expected is around 5 minutes. Will update once it is back online.


    EDIT: Server updated to latest. Back online :) Happy Thanksgiving everyone - please PM me if there are any issues.
