Posted September 25, 2017 Lag detected at Zones.pollnextzones (0.5): 20.566 seconds This lag usually happens if you put like 1k items into one single fire place. Normally there are coordinates included mentioning the zone the problem is in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Don't see it too often, but I've honestly never seen anything in our logs about a location or Zone ID, etc. Any thoughts? Edited September 26, 2017 by LifesaverM spelling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 27, 2017 Now i had the same problem again, no user was draging 100s or 1000 items atm, i dont know how i can find the reason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) Most likely a zone that has 1000's of items on the floor, Tilepoller has to calculate decay for everyone. As for locating the offending zone. Ill look though Ages of Urath file/logs to see if there was a mod the help out.... Edited September 27, 2017 by bigsteve 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 29, 2017 Sorry i looked in the mods folder and could not see a mod that helped with logging. Not saying the isnt, but the servers developer could of bunbled it with other mods he wrote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 29, 2017 I had some major lag on my server aswell. Was not able to resolve it. Running off ram-drive solved the issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) OOOHHHHh I just remembered, Did CodeClub fix the Fog spider Spawning issue????? that could be the cause if it was not fixed!!! Edited September 30, 2017 by bigsteve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 30, 2017 Fog spiders will still create server lag issues in 1.4. Polling is handled mostly by a login server, clustering a login server reduced polling lag a lot for me. My login server is used just for character creation with a portal to the other servers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 30, 2017 i believe i had a mod that solved the fogspider issue, but i dont know if it still works at this version. Next is 1.4.0.1 was released in july but the problems are very young. Eject Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 8, 2017 The fog spiders rarely cause us lag but do sometimes bloat the memory usage on rare occasion. However, its not the bulk of the issue. I'm not running on SSD drives not practical or cost effective for our situation (however they are a good choice if you are renting a server instance for sure) but they are very high end server drives. I've monitored a number of drive metrics when this happens and its not the drives causing the problem for us at least. (This is an area of enterprise server administration I'm an expert at). There really needs to be a better way to pin the issue down. For us we hardly ever saw this issue until a month ago but we have seen a major influx of players so naturally there is more stuff everywhere. We police public areas but I can't run around to everyone's deed and investigate. I have thought about going with a login server once we added another map but we aren't quite at the threshold of needing a 2nd map yet so I hesitate to go that route just yet. The lag when it happens last less than a minute so its not that bad in reality but it's happening way more often then it used to. So naturally I'm concerned if I can't research it further it will become a major problem at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 8, 2017 yes Sklo:D i have a trainingscamp with 6 npc they ould give new players a weapon for testing, and there are also 4 npc they spawn a choosen creature. but this camp isnt used often. Eject Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eject This is most likely highly abuseable. Someone could create a few thousand items in a few minutes, this could cause lag spikes in zone pollers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) Yesterday we had again a 2 minute lag, with the same text in the logilfe. this problem was not npc related because i was standing at the place where the nps´s are and there was no other player in the near.

Posted October 20, 2017 I had a mega lag the other day, but I found that the problem was I had too many fallen trees laying around, when I packed em up, and moved them to storage, the lag stopped, could it be that you have too many people standing around or objects or something, just a thought.

Posted October 20, 2017 We have around 40 players but they are splitte on 3 maps, i added now more ram and will wait what happens. Eject Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2017 I doubt more ram will help. Ages of Urath had 2 maps and peek times 50, average 30. When the 3rd map was add, lag spike incredibly so much the 3rd map was retired. I think you are suffering from thread thrashing. Sadly i do not have access to Ages of Urath log in server file any more, the copy of it i downloaded only the 2nd Laoks map folder survived. So i can advise on how the .ini was set-up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2017 Check your database if there are some incredible amounts of items somewhere on the world. Also consider to move your login server to a small world nobody plays on as we did on Sklotopolis, lag is a lot better since the move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2017 Indeed its a must, for multimap clusters with a high population. Am am sure that if Razor had know that having the login server with players using it was the caused of all the lag, and had a dedicated login server Ages of Urath could of lasted alot longer.

Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) At the moment, the most players are at the loginserver (round 50% of all online players), because we got a lot new players and the loginserver is the easiest for new players. But yeah, since yesterday i got no reply that there was a lag, maybe the little bit mor ram helps. Eject @steve, i remember there was a setting in the wurm.ini where you can give more ram to the server, i believe 2048 is the standard, at one neighbour server i have changed this to 4096MB....complete ram here is 6GB Edited October 20, 2017 by Eject Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
