It was playing pretty well, I am not sure if you are on the new Xen or not. From how it played it didn't seem so, but we are working on a global roll out of it.

I think John had to upgrade my Xen software few months ago due to crashes, not sure if I am running the same version as the new version you guys are running.

Is this going to be applied to all VDS's then? And if so, are we looking at down time?

Eventually, yes. We are planning on doing a global rollout soon. There would be downtime involved but it will be scheduled as a normal maintenance event in the middle of the night.

Hey,

So the performance has dipped once again. Not sure why.

Be sure you are restarting often. NS2 will lose performance over time.

After doing some extended testing, damn NS2 is a cpu hog big time, even with 20 slots.

It takes up about 25%+ CPU usage easily.

This game has long ways to go before being considered gold. Right now this game from a hosting provider view is somewhat still beta.

Lots of potential for this game, just the back-end design has been made very poorly.


I am not even sure if their team is even doing anything at this point to fix this game performance.

Ram Usage is still above 1.2GB at least.

BTW I tried to add the NS server to the gametracker but for some reason I haven't been successful :/

Once more. 16 = sweet spot

You might think it is better at 20+ slots, but gameplay and server issues seem better at 16. Try it. :)

And yes, a daily reboot it most helpful as well.
