Horrible Lag On Lotus Servers Recently.

[IceSage 58]

I've noticed recently a lot of Lotus servers (I'm betting mainly the 24/7 ones) have been horribly laggy on occasion. I entered a full Hightower today and was introduced to a server where everyone was complaining about lag and I could barely make it out of the spawn door.

Yesterday, I was playing on Harvest and all was great, until the server felt like it was most likely on fire somewhere and about to explode.

I'm posting this here just to let anyone who can take care of this (Aside from Mana) know and possibly look into it. Normally I'd just tell Mana but he's on vacation or something, right? (I never see him on as of late.)

Once a large number of players either leave or time out, the server regains... some sense of stability.

I'm just concerned and want to make sure the servers aren't being attacked or something, as I've rarely ever experienced lag on any Lotus server in the history of... ever. (It's happened before, but usually with a cause or reason. Not just... being crap.)

Anyway, resume your normal... whatever. <3

I have had some lag problem recently, but I am unable to pinpoint the issue being Lotus servers. Rest assured, Mana is on holiday but nothing changes....any issues will be looked into. Thanks for reporting.

Servers won't auto restart unless they empty. TF2 (SRCDS in general) can not run for a long time without starting to lag.

So with extreme uptime comes even more extreme lag.

That sounds like something Uncle Ben would've said... x)
