Hive lagging?

[semipr0 402]

Currently seeing upwards of 3 - 4 minutes to construct a bag fence on my server, thats from choosing the construction option in inventory, to actually finally hearing the sound effect and then waiting a bit longer to see the bag fence come up.

Its also affecting multiple people in our Teamspeak that are on the server and a few that are on some other servers.

Anyone else experiencing this?

That sounds like server lag. If the hive was lagging you would be experiencing lost items, or items magically disappearing.

How often are you restarting? We have been experiencing serious lag as well, so we have been restarting every few hours if not sooner.. Since 1.7.2.4 there has been several desync issues..

We are experiencing item loss as well. People relogging to try to clear the action lag have lost everything in their packs.

Also theres no one on the server with a higher latency than 170 ping. Desync is occasional but no worse than usual.

it just seems associated with Hive related actions which have a save state/update state involved.

We restarted this morning at 10AM CST.

My servers restart every 6 hours, and that's a little bit on the low. I suggest setting up Battleye Extended controls on your server with an automatic restart timer.

I can set up automated restarts already, its not really an issue for me. I use BEC. The issue is largely that the game is doing something I've not seen it do on our server before.

There is absolutely no server side lag whatsoever, bullets go where you point them...you can move around with no issues, driving vehicles causes no problems, but anything that requires a save state or update state is taking upwards of 3 minutes or more to return a response.

We restart every 12 hours. There's plenty of times that we have to manually do it during the day since 1.7.2.4. I attribute it to a combination of the hive desyncing and hackers raping servers. If you ever see cows or anything falling from the sky, reboot.

Yeah we got no reports of any major nukes or other hacks going on, its otherwise a completely normal day. But any interactive action which requires a save or update state from the Hive takes 60 seconds to 3 minutes to even give its command list option.

I can be pointing directly at a bag fence, and have a Save UAZ option there for up to 3 minutes before the system realizes I'm actually at a bag fence, then it updates. Taking down the bag fence takes about 60 seconds from choosing the option before hearing the sound, then another 60 seconds before the fence disappears.
