Eclipse and I stumbled across an IED earlier this morning, it was in the middle of a house

[PITN]

They were using IEDs in 0.76. I was expecting roadside IEDs at random locations with a defuse option. etc.

How does it run on the server?

[=VG= LittleTortiaBoy]

this morning it was suffering from quite a bit of lag for everybody

[PITN]

Seems to run okay on Takistan so far. Zargabad lags like crazy when you get into the city. We need members to play zargabad and take notes. Try with and without AI. With and without AI CAS. etc.

But when it starts lagging just go ahead and restart the mission. You will notice when it gets real bad. You or others will complain of freezing in place and being annoyed as hell.

But without feedback it can't be fixed, so....

Yea, this morning, it lagged like crazy.
Here's a Server Load screenshot. Only 36 minutes into the game and 8FPS.
We had many players, but weren't spread out too far. Mostly active on the map area you see, playing and shooting withing 1000m of the Main Base:

Played this morning (6.00 MEZ) half an hour. Only 4 players, two HMWW running, in the middle of Zargabad. Everyone said no problems.

[=VG= Outlanders]

Yeasterday's evening, it was 6FPS. Server was almost full.
And this undead walkers issue is a bit annoying.

It's awesome, when insurgent blow himself up with an IED, and destroy his own damn cache.

[PITN]

We need to know the maps that you are playing. Zargabad may be the troubled one.

Let's try a format.
Version:
Mapname:
# of players:
Server FPS:
AI Units:
Groups:
Runtime:
Known Paramters-
Civilians: ON/OFF
AI Chopper: ON/OFF
CAS PLANE: Disabled/ON/PLAYER


It may be easier for people to take a screenshot of the server stats and just fill in the rest by hand.

Is the standard params set to playable opfor on 0.80?
Joined Zarg just now and it was on.

[PITN]

It has not ben edited by me. So OPFOR is on by default, etc.

A full server and Zargabad will bring the server to a crawl. Either reduce the AI to 50% or turn off the civilians.

We need to try different settings and see if we can find a happy medium. Also any errors should be reported in this thread so we can recreate and address them.

Found out yesterday that if the team leader asks the squad (including pilot) to board the littlebird the squad member that is piloting will get ejected and chopper will rtb.
Dunno if it's something you can do anything about.

[PITN]

What? I tell people to board all the time and I haven't seen this issue.

We're going have to test it.
