NEWS Toronto Servers Back Up [Update]

[MetalLobster]

How is it that someone gets 200 ping and experiences lag multiple tims and yet my ping is solid and I only experience the same lag once?

Something that happens to them but not everyone else is usually something on their end. High ping is almost always on them too.

The server has gotten literally 1-3 lag spike this entire evening... I think TF2 is the problem. 1-3 lag spikes is little compared to yesterday evening where it was a spike every few rounds.

 

[Thanatos]

1-3 lag spikes is still unacceptable. It appears to not matter 2 fucks if TF2 is active or not. I'd be curious to see the reverse and see how the TF2 servers run without CSGO

Just stop @Brains, stop.

I've been negotiating with several DC's within Ontario to serve two Dell PowerEdge R710's I purchased half a year ago. I require a 1/4 of a rack (2U each), power (3 Amps each), bandwidth (I won't settle for anything less than 100Mbps and 10TB) which isn't particular cheap so I've been reluctant thus far to seal a deal. They're provisioned separately with one being a Hyper-V (Windows 2008 R2) host and the other KVM (CentOS 7) host. I've been using them insufficiently for development but I can easily serve VMs for any game. When I do snag a DC if you'd like we could co-opt. It's probably too early to post this because I've got nothing but hardware but whatever.

Spoiler

PowerEdge R710 #1 (Hyper-V)

2 x Intel Xeon X5560 - 8 Cores/16 Threads
8 x Hynix (Dell) 4GB DDR3 PC3-10600 1333Mhz ECC (HMT151R7BFR4C-H9) - 32GB
2 x WD RE4 250GB (WD2503ABYX) - RAID 1
1 x Dell Perc 6/i RAID Controller
1 x Intel PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter (EXPI9402P)
2 x 570W PSU

PowerEdge R710 #2 (KVM)

2 x Intel Xeon X5660 - 12 Cores/24 Threads
12 x Hynix (Dell) 4GB DDR3 PC3-10600 1333Mhz ECC (HMT151R7BFR4C-H9) - 48GB
4 x WD RE4 1TB (WD1003FBYX) - RAID 10
1 x Dell Perc 6/i RAID Controller
1 x Intel PRO/1000 VT Quad Port Server Adapter (EXPI9404VT)
2 x 870W PSU

It is unlikely that TD would ever co-opt on another persons server after how everything turned out with TD|Mahone back in the TD1.0 days.. especially with how many game servers we host these days.


If you ever need parts for any R-series hit me up.

What would it take to upgrade the hardware? I'm for the idea that the host is responsible for the lag spikes/big chokes, but I'd be exhausting all options before jumping ship to Chicago or wherever. Upgrade the hardware and see if the problem goes away...

 

[Steve]

Throw more money we don't have at it and hope it fixes the issue.

Great input.

Well, if it's possible to quantify the problem, wouldn't you guys be able to make a case to them?

 

[Steve]

Gotta love hearing regular players call out TD as cheap and shit in-game for having this lag issue. Wish I could slay those ungrateful bastards.

The free server that you play on doesn't meet your standards? Have a bit of courtesy and play elsewhere otherwise...

Don't worry, eventually they will fuck up and say that shit while im around.

Then anal gaping.

[HappySticks™]

I still have a lot of fun despite the occasional lag, I could care less.

 

[Shotgun Jesus]

Lag is best, brrrrroooooo

 

[Slawek]

Do you even lift, bro?

SJ spends his days lifting timmies coffee cups. That's how he got them biceps.

lag in csgo is a rather first world problem.

Please point them out for me, I'd love to have some fun with them :)

Note down those ungrateful bastard, and we'll get the hammer rolling.

I have not seen the lag spike with SourceMod down.

Agreed.

 

[everyth1ng]

At the moment, it's definitely better.
