Exactly, which is why it bugs me to see people moan in here -- it's not very polite. I think it's totally awesome that we have this server -- thank you.

I'm quite happy that we've got a free server as well! It was quite gracious of Jebez to sponor TG in this fashion. But that doesn't mean the players need to "shut up and enjoy the lag".

TG members are looking for a place to play. And if the server that has been allocated is plagued with issues that make it difficult to play, laggy, or crashes frequently, those members are going to desire a new server to play on.

Re: Server Lag

Its very nice of those ppl to provide this server. But i have to say in all honesty that the server compagny that deliver this server is realy dooing a bad job. The teamplay on the server is awsome , but the way the server acts is driving me away (if it not is disconnecting me on its own that is ).
Last time we had a nice TG team defending a flag in Belgrade. It was so much fun , fieldupgrades where comming in so fast some of us start to feel quilty ;D
But every 40 seconds someone said in the mic " i think i gonna loose connection , bla , bla , bla ...". That and seeing ppl dooing warpjumps that even Scotty from star trek would suprise isnt realy fun to play in.
I do realize that the ppl that sponsor the server are dooing there best , but that doenst mean that ppl cant complain about the bad job that the serverhost compagny does.

True, but the lag I've experienced there is hardly game-breaking. It seems to happen to me only when I'm in a vehicle, and then for less than a minute. The only frustration I've had on the server is the maps being set back to Belgrade a little too often.

That would tick me off even more, if it was primarily my own money and service was this crappy. I'd find someone else if I were you. And demand money back. And thank you, Jebez, for donating this service.

And to those who think we're complaining about the donating of the server:

We're not complaining to Lord_Jebez that he is hosting a server for us. We're complaining that the host Lord_Jebez is giving his money to is not worth it and he should probably find a better host. Who wants to fork over their money to host a server only to receive a weak server with lag? We're just suggesting it may be in the best interest of Lord_Jebez to put his money in a more worth while host. In no way are we complaining that Lord_Jebez is hosting this server.

Re: Server Lag

FYI, I am a clanmate of Lord_jebez.

I play on this server 1-2 hours a day. Last week the lag was aweful. the last 4 days the lag is much much less. Now the only problem i am having is, every other game, i lock up on map/round change.

I am having a great time on this server. I like having a server to play on with more mature players that want to have fun and play the game the way it should be played. Not exploiting and bunny hopping. Those are the reasons i play on this server every chance i get.

I don't want to speak for Jebez, but I do know Jebez is working daily to get Hypernia to correct the issues. The game has been out, what 7 days. There are bound to be some bugs. I have been on many servers that just shut down mid game or have aweful lag. I have seen worse. Hypernia can definetaly do a better job. I bet they are covered up adding new game servers for BF2142, The amount of BF2142 servers are growing at about 400 a day, over the last 3 days. Granted not all are hypernia, but i bet they are busy.

We enjoy being a part of the TG community and thanks for your patience.

Re: Server Lag

The only issue I really have (on the server) is the apprx 2 minute wait inbetween map loads before commander selection even begins (which is another minute) and the fact that the map constantly seems to drop back to #1 on the list so I've only played on 2 different maps. The occasional rubber-banding hasn't been that bad so far, but a ping in the yellow instead of the usual green isn't nice.

Now are these Hypernia issues or issues with how we're trying to run admin scripts on the server? I don't know.

It would obviously be nice to get a stable enough server to run a 64 player map in Titan mode, though.

Re: Server Lag

Some clans grow loyal to one server provider. Like during Call of Duty server era my old clan was very satisfied with our server provider. But when Call of Duty:United Offensive came around the server provider could not deliver the same performance. They simply did not have financial resources to upgrade a tiny bit or they tried to let their clients run on the same thing and get free money.

Since we are loyal sob s we sticked with them hoping they would resolve the issue for 3 months. Later I heard the server provider's site was down.

I guess it is all about business.

One thing of note with Hypernia is that they don't own their datacenter. Hypernia rents/colocates servers at Digiport in and/or around the Miami, Florida area. This means that if there is a network issue, a server rental client needs to contact Hypernia, which in turn will need to contact Digiport to have the problem resolved.

Tactical Gamer's servers are all leased directly from our datacenter providers in Texas and Virginia. If we have a problem with the network, we contact the datacenter directly and work with on-site engineers to resolve the problem. There's no middleman in there. I have seen references that our datacenter in Texas can provide ranked servers, but I have not been able to get confirmation on that yet.

That would be nice! Keep us posted. I enjoy the pings I get from TGs datacenter

Well, most of our BF servers are run out of the Virginia datacenter. I'm not sure if they do BF ranked servers or not. I know the Texas one does though.

*speaking with humor* I am beginning to like the fact that I get a little downtime between rounds.. it is consistent enough that I am able to get a drink.. change TV stations.. change clothes since they are dripping wet with perspiration from all the white knuckle blood spilling action etc...

Seriously though I am thankful that we get to have a place to play with TG.. and I am sure the bugs will all be worked out before too long. I know that Jebez has been working with our provider and they are doing all that they can. I am sure with this being a new game that there are some issues that are EA/DICE and some that belong to our provider... it will take some time to get all things worked out. Thanks Jebez for your hard work!

Re: Server Lag

To look at the bright side atleast we have a ranked server. Thanks for your effort everybody and hope we get this solved.

One question is hypernia in Florida? Could that cause issues? Virgina would be more centered or maybe Chicago?
