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?

PikaPuff

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

NotoriusBEN

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.

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.

According to my dashboard: Speex, 32 KHz, 16 bit, 8 quality.

The server seems to be a bit explodey today.

PMAvers

Huh, wonder what's up...

GameServers.com
Posted Jul 08 20:45 EDT This location is currently experiencing network difficulty. We are working with our upstream provider to correct the issue. Additional updates will be provided here when they become available.

EDIT: should be okay and resolved now.

DigitalSyn

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.

PikaPuff

OP updated @DigitalSyn‌"

DigitalSyn

Thank you very much

Arthil

@DigitalSyn‌ So that explains why I couldn't get online

Corehealer

And as always I implore more of our fine PA community to use the Teamspeak server now that we have more active people on it.

Vent server seems to be down.

e: I put money in the piggy bank but still is down.

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.)

Mordrack

It's back up. Thanks boss.

PMAvers

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.

SmokeStacks

Thanks to whoever is maintaining the Teamspeak server, the Steam thread used it for some gaming chat tonight and it was rock solid.

Welcome Feel free to continue rocking it, and if there are any issues post in this thread or PM me.

@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?

SniperGuy

It did last night right as we were starting a DnD game. I was sad. Came back up but it took 5 or so minutes.

Ruckus

@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)
Min/Max/Avg=29/183/42
0% Packet loss

PMAvers

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.

PikaPuff

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

PMAvers

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.

well that's too bad.
another forum might be more forgiving.
no one here will help you.
go away.

/facetiousness.

PMAvers

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.

PMAvers

Okay, the server's back up and running.


Hostname: vent15.gameservers.com
Server Port: 4384

Same password.

Deebaser

Thank you PMA
u da bes

PMAvers

So is there a noticeable difference so far in regards to lag et wot with the new box?

Also probably should get @PikaPuff to update the OP.

PikaPuff

Oh, snap, Geth! I guess I should update that OP right away!

Ruckus

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

Crayon

Nightfall anyone? Ps4. Easy clear.

TheKoolEagle

wut? PMAvers has been the server patron for a few years now.

DigitalSyn

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.
