We made a couple of major performance improvements at around 04:00 GMT on the 5th Feb. We would appreciate your feedback in regards to whether there is a noticeable improvement in gameplay. A poll is attached, and you can leave any additional comments or feedback in this thread. Thank you.
Somewhere between slightly and greatly improved IMO. Still voted slightly though. Moving the slime event to ch1 seems to have fixed most of the lag from the last few days. Last HT run I went on didn't have any lagspikes whatsoever which is pretty unusual. Will have to wait and see..
Glad to hear it. There were more major changes other than changing the slime to channel 1. One of which was that players were previously being saved to the database twice when changing channels, rather than once. Players were also being saved to the database at other unnecessary times, occasionally when simply changing maps. So this should have made quite a big difference if SQL was the bottleneck - which we think it has been.
The whole server just dced, like 3 minutes ago. noticed some small lagg beforehand. Other than that, server is doing great for me. MTR from dc if needed http://gyazo.com/c615a4d38ca4db8c821fa8c7e372bb34
I've seen vast improvements from mid-December up until now. It was running perfect before the slime-boss showed up, but even now, it seems stable (after 02/05 update). I'll keep an eye on the performance over the next few days to see if anything changes.
