Lag Solution - A small win for Sundren?

[GodBeastX]

So after some hefty script rewriting on our part of Sundren. We seemed to have made the lag many times better.

Basically some stuff in NWN2 is bugged and we had to move where code occurred. Apparently doing certain actions at certain times helps people lose Sync causing flooding. This was researched by a buddy of mine and passed on to me

So far we went from 9PM last night until now lag free, let's hope it continues!

huzzah to all the devs!

Lag is gone! The lag is gone! oh god it's gone!

[RXeD]

Woo-hoo

[The Fantasian]

Another fine job as always guys! And thanks to your research buddy from all of us!

[ThePaganKing]

You guys are by far the best team that I have encountered NWN1 or 2!

Great work!

OH GODS YEAAHH! NO lag

[Mattachine]

Oh Frabjous Day, Calloo, Callay!
*chortle chortle*

I will now try to do more than simply lurk about.

[undeadsteak]

You had to know I was going to ask this:

Firstly, how in hell did you locate the preciese areas that were causing the problems? That's pretty impressive. Must have been tedius unless they knew the Server processing code.

Next, it cant have been a simple process. Was it just a timing issue, or where there actual elements that were causing problems that you had to do a complete work around for?

Esentially a lot of script manipulation with players won't work while in loading screens and can cause the clients to go out of sync, operations that would normally not result in any adverse problems in normal operation suddenly cause crashes and flooding due to syncing issues. By simply delaying some of our executions we effectively avoid this issue altogether.

It mostly comes down to timing, it wasn't documented anywhere that certain things execute before they are actually ready to receive input...

[Saulus]

And that is related to this thread how?

YEah I always knew those loading screnns were screwed up. I only ever crashed with them.
