Some mods get massiv lag on windows server

[FNdanielNL]

Dunno why, but sometimes when the server does load a mod there happens something that it takes all connection speed of the server. It even looks like the server is offline however it issnt. This happens sometimes and causes +/- 1 minute connection downtime of the server, however it didnt lost connection. Because i can get the online status response for it. But all services on the server are unavailable when this happens

can't say i've seen this but if people are connected, it could be sending the element list to all the client and then the clients are downloading the resources, a little more information like ram usage and cpu usage before, during and after you notice this happen is required really and also if it is happening on certain resources everytime

Ive just had the same problem. My server had 40 of the 64 players, pings were fine, CPU was fine, FPS was fine. And suddenly everyone and everything timed out for 15 seconds. After that the server just went on with the same gamemode (capture the vehicle) and the same round. Very wierd . Let's hope people didn't find some kind of hack already! my specs:

Windows XP PROF

Service pack 2

Version 2002

Inter® Core2 CPU

Because it wasnt a "crash" it didnt create a dump file I think, so here is a part of my serverlog. This is were they all disconnect. Massive timeouts @ [23:15:14] . Game freezes for 5 seconds, than they come back and after 2 mins it happens again... I checked manually for hackers (by tracking their IP's in the serverlog) and see if theirs any combination with a IP and the server freezing. Didn't find any. So I hope this is a known issue and will be solved in the next update, if not: I request everyone who has the same problem to post this problem in this topic. So I'm sure I'm not the only one. (Anyone with a solution can post a message too ofcrouse )

i have heard of this happening in dp2 now, never actually been on a server when it happened though
