Database Issues

[Tricks]

Ok I am having an issue with slow traders on Epoch Chernarus. I have added only one custom trader and I'm sure he is not being used anywhere else. It has been fine for months now. We even did a database wipe last week to give our players a fresh start. Now in less then a week there is such major lag with all our traders (default and custom). Vehicles don't lock right away after purchase and players are getting locked inside because they don't wait. That's if the vehicle even appears, most times it takes the players money but doesn't spawn in the car. Even with our admin tools, vehicles disappear after we spawn them in. Our server host customer support says we probably have too many dead bodies and bases on the map. But it's only been a week since the database wipe, before that we ran for months without issues.

We have the multi-character script running, would this cause errors like this?

I have only 4k objects. That amount has not been issue before. There is also problems when players get stuck to authentication which started after last battleye update. And all this is with 50 players online. Under 30 there is no problems.

I have the same issue with the cfg traders its usually when there are around 15 to 20+ players online its usually straight after a restart that the vehicles dont want to spawn they spawn unlocked and sometimes dont spawn at all untill the next restart. The server ran perfect before the single currency and cfg traders were added, then they worked for about a month with little issues now all of a sudden laggy traders and the server doesnt want to authenticate and keeps retrying especially when there is 25+ players it can also take as long as 30+ mins to get onto the server which is a major pain for my players and myself. i also have issues with base build items and vehicles not saving on restart, this is only a recent issue, within the past few weeks.

 

Its hard to figure out what is actually causing this issue, is it a addon causing it, not enough bandwidth (this is doubt) or is it just arma being arma. My RPT shows a few errors with the single currency but speaking to Zupa about it regarding the single currency he says its normal and shouldnt cause any issues towards the server, any other addons didnt cause any issues before. i have recently tweaked my basic.cfg and it seemed to resolve a few issues with desync and lag, but it was only temp fix that lasted a few days.

 

i only have 5k items in the object_data database this shouldnt cause issues.

I also tried without infistar and same issue. I thought I was on to something but it turned out to be a bust.

It's weird because the complains came recently... it's always been kind of slow but it's gone from that to REALLY slow at times. Hmmm

Could it be from  BattleEye update?

Could it be from  BattleEye update?

Was thinking the same, but how would that be..  :wacko:

Just a question, are some people here that have issues (me included) using PlotforLive? It looks like there my desync started...

[Tricks]

I'm not using P4L.

[Sukkaed]

If this is caused by addon, it's P4L or single currency. So we can count out P4L ^^. Is someone with these problems not using single currency?

[Tricks]

Lol I'm not using single currency either.

[Sukkaed]

Oh well, thats that then. Could this really be something in last battleye update.

[Chriski]

So your having the same issues tricks, but not using the single currency system? Has anyone else got issues with authentication?

I made my problems like 50% better with changing "/min" in the startup batch to "/realtime"

I made my problems like 50% better with changing "/min" in the startup batch to "/realtime"

Has anyone else tried this? What is the difference between "/min" and "/realtime"?

[Sukkaed]

I've been using "/high" and "/realtime" without any noticeable difference.
