Server Status | Server News | Forum

The lag situation seems to have improved a bit after I removed Outer Reaches, but not to a degree with which I'm happy. It does show that we might be close to straining a single server instance with multiple worlds without having the horsepower to back it.

Bukkit released Craftbukkit-1.3.1-R2 yesterday, which supposedly fixes some lag issues. R2 was installed on the server late this morning and I'm keeping a close eye on the lag condition. It does seem a bit better, but I can still see hints of the periodic drop of CPU load that is indicative of a serious lag, albeit it isn't as bad as before. We will still continue to run without the OR for the rest of the day, after which I will add it back in.

Dynmap is still offline because the first patch didn't fix the original problem of saving chunks completely. A second patch has been released for 1.3.1-R2, hopefully this will prove to be better, but I have to put it through its paces first. Normally, I wouldn't be this strict about a plugin, but when it affects saving chunks, it is a serious matter. I'm certain no one would like suffering "micro-rollbacks" all the time while they are working on their creations.
