wraithwingus Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Gentlemen, i have noticed a fair amount of lag on my 12 man server and I am trying to get to the bottem of the problem. After putting in a trouble ticket on the problem I have gotten back that PB can be causing my server lag. Is this true? If so what are the common settings that can cause lag? I can post the configs if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLiner Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 i have 7 servers streaming here with no lag at all but i do not have screenshots enabled in punkbuster as i found this can cause lag on my server see if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadWarrior Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 The pbauotss feature may cause lag to some degree if you have the timing set to close together. Having run on both Windows servers and Linux servers, I've also noted that Windows servers tend to suffer from this issue, where Linux servers do not. No explanation as to why that is from end, just something I noted. As far as pb itself causing lag, I've never experienced any. the pbbans configs definitely won't cause any lag or noticeable changes to how your server runs. One thing to note is that your host may just not have enough bandwidth, or may be running your server on an over-sold box. That tends to be the more common reason for server lag of any kind, yet hosts don't ever want to admit to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbag. Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 The default settings in the pbsv.cfg file from here at PBBans for auto screenshots is: CODE pb_sv_AutoSsFrom 300 //[Min # of seconds to wait before requesting next ss] pb_sv_AutoSsTo 1200 //[Max # of seconds to wait before requesting next ss] Your settings might be to close together. I'm not an expert though. That's just an observation from looking at your pbsv.cfg you posted. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
