Weird lag and server performance in stable build

ahhhh maybe not. it's not the same rig : https://forums.uberent.com/threads/any-special-reason-wy-steam-vs-uber-server.54350/

I think it's just a tiny little change which made this bug pop up:

Infernos got a higher push class assigned. That messes up so much...

Another example:

That Ant is still trying to move, as it twitches every few seconds. But it CAN'T. It's unable to push Infernos. Other Infernos trying to move through succeed, as they CAN push other Infernos quite easily.

And yet another example:

3 or 4 platoons stuck indefinitely. 3 units in that clusterfuck are still trying to move, but they can't because they are blocked by Infernos. Infernos which have been assigned to squads which are waiting for the stuck units to catch up....



Well, that particular game still runs well after a full hour, however I was playing on US servers at 3AM or so, so I probably got a full Amazon EC instance all by myself. Plus, AI was never isolated so no AI in the match has more than 150 mobile units in total - or 500 in total counting all AI players. The game was still at 50% load capacity though. (~40-60ms/frame)


Oh, and another bug I've noticed:
Units are still trying to steer clear of trees even long after trees have been reduced to a scorch mark.

newest updated has this problem back in full force.

Same servers.

had some full on crashes today. Nightmare, fix or refund .

I know the European Servers are very slow.

Would it be helpful if you set up one of the office PC's to spectate on three different games (for each server group) and for you to get a video capture of it? You might get a better idea that way? Maybe you could run some kind of data capture/debugging on the game?

I do hope they push back the release. The game is riddled with bugs right now and I cannot finish a single game without getting disconnected by the server.

Why? It's coming with a free expansion: PowerPoint Annihilation: Slideshow Annihilation. Doesn't everybody win with free DLC?

This is due to a server bug, it's only arisen lately. Normally each server computer runs 8 servers (one per CPU) but lately there's been a glitch in the system or something in which more than 8 servers are being hosted per computer.

Hi Squishypon3, where did you hear that? I am searching the forum and did not find the "reason" for the performance problems. Thx.

Regardless it shouldn't be "released" with that bug. You should be able to finish a 1v1 vs AI in a stock system with a reasonable number of units without the sim outright dying.

I guess they will fix the server problem soon... so you will be able to play a regular game on release day.

It's only happened very recently, and will hopefully be fixed like- really soon. Anyway, one of the deva said it, can't remember exactly who at the moment.

I read about that server issue as well somewhere in the forum, I don't remember where though.

Good to know that they found the issue... will be fixed soon... I had a much better experience already yesterday evening... but could have been coincidence.

I really hope they get this worked out soon. It makes me very nervous that there's issues this critical with servers this close to release. If the rush comes from new buyers and the server problems with so many games getting assigned to one, it'll end up locking everyone out completely on release day. Not the greatest start for a launch.

What about the terrible pathfinding issues ? Macro chain orders are f*cked.

I just started to play a game against a single A.i and the game began to slow down and stop. I played a game yesterday and it was fine. Why cant the game just be smooth for once? I hope they get this stuff ironed out before release. I was going to host a PA launch party. C'mon Uber, you can do it! PUSH!

I personally don't end up with many pathing issues at all, lucky I suppose?

And what does that have to do with the server anyway, haha?

Holy navigation! 357msec!

Game didn't finish, by the way, lagged us out of our patience.
