Missile tracking issues

High fluct.

I'd like to point out something (imo a very obvious observation) - when CF 1.8 first came out in January there were absolutely no missile tracking problems, however, the server was crashing often... and this remained until either 1.81 or 1.82; now it is the other way around again like in 1.7. Missile tracking is horrible and even after a server restart it takes roughly 30 minutes for the missiles and CD's to zigzag around again

so yeah I guess the option is; awesome missile tracking with quite a few of server crashes or barely any crashes but crappy tracking overall...

someone else must've noticed this?

more pvp for testing purposes.

i'll be in the arena.

dunno

I noticed the Server do have a lot of fluctuation,a lot, not sure , but for me it is.

Server load after a server crash or restart is under 30 starting with about 8 or so, then increases with time , after about 6-8-10 hours which is the normal time in a server, the load is alwaus over 90 or 100.... in the best moments at 60-70... but that's not the main point I think, it's that it constantly go up and down where passing over a certain limit which disables or enables NPC spawn is exactly one of those moments with yellow lag icon, shorter or longer depending a bit on how much above the limit it went.. I noticed even 300+, while my personal ping was always good as I was constantly typing /ping for it.

Seems some PCs have fatigue

Possible reason related:
This increase looks to be biger than in 1.7, maybe cus of the server logs ? making a list of 1 kb is fast and easy... but with the many more items in 1.8, with time, that list increases to Mbytes and more... which takes some more time ?

2: The non existent ping reduction kit

switch off your network connection is the best ping reduction kit available
My guns are shooting straight forward - i dont have missile problems at all

Nope it isn't

As said, it wasn't from my side... and serverload command don't get affected by what I have, much enough.

And weird, soem poeple's guns are shooting straight laterally

Almost impossible to fight these days, and missile are not the only problem, ships fly weird at the moments, however i come to conclusion that all this depends of who is in the game (better say in a current system)

Simple: some ppl depart and problem go away.But yesterday and today that was not the case.

In one word server is somehow: fucked up

Maybe ppl with uber pings like 2-3000. Probably a good moment to initiate the lag kick again. With todays connections there must not be pings like that, but those who have them can check their cons - bring them here to help them. Just for the records i got the same problems and will try to talk with those ppl i remember - which is the best start

Bond, your theory failed because it's not 1 person or only a small group of them who have real problems and are killing the system or server.... as yesterday in the battle there was a time when missiles and ships tracked well, but only for a while, so the players in-system may not affect.... unless it wasn't one of us 3, but the other 2 who was in there before.

It looks to be the server, or a group of players which, if they are in range with another player starts the fluct due to signal loss or something. Without players in range it should be ok.

something of greater interest, there are a couple of players that I have pvp'd ( 2 to be exact), that once you get in for a close fight, my ship became very slow thruster to 80, turning wasnt happening. Then of course is the bullshit explaination of " your ship is stressed." Really? You think with no damage my ship is stressed? Others have experienced the same, so I am certainly not imagining this.

Missles are horrible, period, and you cant fight here without them. Then again there are those who's missles track and hit almost perfect every time. Its not the european connection as some of you tried to use as the reason. I know better. It is something running on this server causing it, because we never had this issue prior to 1.7, regardless of where you were in the world. I would like to find a solution so I can actually enjoy a fair fight as far as the weapons are concerned. Because if I cant use my weapons, then there' s no point in being a cop.

1 more point, I would like to know how 1 volley of 4 missles and a torp can kill you in one shot.......damage doesnt multiply to that factor.

i dont have problems if my ping is good , if is bad the misils dont track

well some people on this server indeed seem to have magical missiles... always been like this and hasen't changed since 1.7 (can't remember how it was prior to that)

and a volley of 4 missiles and torp can indeed kill you in one shot... Para is usually faster than other missiles so thats the one who hits first... the other three already do lots of damage to the hull so if you are unlucky and get hit by a sunslayer afterwards you're gone

of course that only happens if you are too lazy to evade ;D

yea

Happen to me with some players, along with "missile do not track at all" phenomenon, or to not blame the "player", maybe every time under specific server circumstances.
