RO Devs might have found the reason for lag post-patch

[mbrooksay]

I was playing with them today in their RODev server and during our game at Baksan Valley we had a hugggeeee lag spike. Ramm Jaeger look in the server files after the lag patch and he said that there was a flood of files repeating themselves over a gun pickup for the SVT 40.

I don't think it's confirmed that it's 100% the reason for lag after the patch, but I'm just letting you guys know that they are working on a solution for it.

This is highly speculative

so your suggesting the lag is related to the new pickup system.. that could be highly possible..

 

[Ender]

so it could have something to do with the pick up system. Its good to hear that a possible cause has been found.

Now to go to servers and drop my SVT and pick it back up over and over

Ain't I just a stinker

We should be able to replicate it, then post back results.

As somebody said, this is pure speculation at this point. We are looking into the cause as the original poster stated, and attempting to reproduce it in a test environment. We are every once in awhile asking the community to hop on our servers with us to load them up and to do various things in attempts to reproduce it.

We will of course talk to each other during those tests, but don't take anything we say to heart.

Good to see you may be onto a lead.

Not sure if this is part of the problem or an isolated glitch I experienced. I usually play with bolt action so didn't notice until the last couple days when I played with an SMG and needed more ammo. I have had a problem after the lag spikes, picking up weapons and ammo pouches for those weapons. After a lag spike I seem not to be able to pick anything up for several minutes, no matter the angle or number of times I click on the item. I've had this happen multiple times over the last few days when starting with an SMG and needing more ammo, or droppoing it to pick up a bolt action. It works most of the time, but after a lag spike, not able to pick anything up. This lasts long enough after the lag spike that I have always died and respawned, so dont know a duration.

Well I played on Stalingrad Kessel today after the devs applied the fix in the RODev server, and there was no lag for an hour. After Yoshiro left almost everyone else left .

Either way I'm guessing the new "patch" (read: 2kb server fix) will be out this weekend or early next week?

I know... that's why I wrote at the end of my post, "
