Server Problems, Post Here!

So you just *happen* be online when SMP2 goes down?
And we know for a fact that you have been playing with both WorldEdit and TnT, a combination to dangerous for any SS to handle under the best of circumstances.

You got something to say for yourself, Elfin?

i suspect someone got carried away with farming... lol

Yeah lets ban farms and go back to being primitive plebs for the sake of performance.

brb undoing the industrial revolution

Yes, but the question is what was changed yesterday - and the change is substantial. I didn't change my MC config. (Except if something in MC got auto-updated on start and I'm not aware of it). I have Win7, so no updates or changes from that side.

Now it looks like this and can't be changed by disconnecting and connecting again.


It can be changed by having blinking redstone lamps around, but that would be an ugly workaround that would add to the lag...

hopefully the senior staff solution alleviates the problem

so what actually caused smp2's meltdown last night?

Hope you enjoyed the refugee camp setup on utopia for all the SMP2 homeless.

you clearly havent seen my farms to make a response like that. ok guy.

I reported on this in the 1.15 thread, but realised that it would be better posted here.
Ever since the update on Wednesday I've been getting really bad freezes/hangs of 1-5 seconds when teleporting (even within the same residence and even while really close to the teleport destination). When crossing chunk borders I also often get small/medium stutter/freeze. This was not the case before the update of Wednesday.

The area I'm having these issues in is on my residences (859, 752, 1070, etc), and in many chunks there, not just a few specifc chunks. It also happens in other places, such as in specific chunks on 102 or when teleporting to 102.

My internet is good, and I can't think of anything on my computer that would suddenly create this poor performance.

look at your render distance

It's on 8, has been like that since at least 1.15.

I just popped it down to 4 to test if that helped, but it did not, unfortunately (if anything, it made it worse ).

I can report the same issues as Tom happening.

I get these problems and my render distance is 3 chunks. I've not changed my render distance settings since the Wednesday update.

I will third this issue. Teleporting is really slow and delayed. I also experience fps drops randomly as well. This only appears to happen in town though. When I'm out in the wild/waste, I don't experience any fps drops. This all started after the update that increased render distance.

I fourth it. Didn't really realize it was a problem until other people were having it as well. I chalked it up to my internet just being a piece of garbage

The random freeze of 1-2 s when teleporting started with the update to 1.15 and my impression is that it has something to do with the light bug, that it's some kind of race condition in the client, but it has something to do with the server and or connection as well.
I've tested teleporting on a vanilla 1.15.2 server and could not reproduce this behavior.
Analyzing the difference in what the servers send to the client could help find the cause or at least a workaround.

Since yesterday, some monsters perform slightly less than average - they can't climb up nor climb down 1 block high step.
This quite changes the experience...

I though i had this issue but it turns out having your render distance at 48 is not a good idea

wow who'da thunk it
