RB lagging the game a lot.
 

Hi, I use RB with Adminmod. The only plugins I use are RB and Statsme. Whenever I make a game with the bots, the game lags a lot at the start of every round, and everytime one of the admins tries to use a command, the game lags a lot. This never goes away, it doesn't matter how many bots their are. I am running a listenserver, any suggestions?

Re: RB lagging the game a lot.
 

Which cpu? how many RAM? realbot is quite cpu intensive... I don't know for adminmod.

Re: RB lagging the game a lot.
 

It doesn't just lag for me, it lags for everyone, but here are my specs:

80 gig HD
GeForce 4
512 RAM
Win. XP
2.4 ghz processor

He asked for the SERVER's specs ;)

he might be the server, but i also hate people asking for help without telling what they need help on. esp. since non linux servers seem so utterly unusual to me :-)

Re: RB lagging the game a lot.
 

I already stated in my first post that I am using a listenserver, which is one that when you press the create game button (or w/e it is called) you create the server. So those specs I just listed.. are the correct ones. And.. memed? Maybe you cannot read, but I have clearly stated my problem. The game lags unusally bad at every round start and when an admin attempts a command in the console. If you didn't get that for some reason in the first post, here it is again, bold and underlined. So.. if anyone has any solutions for me, please let me know, thanks. Oh, and you can contact me on AIM via Cyric99 if you need to.

Anyone know..? This happens with other bots too.. just exreme lag in the situations I stated above.

Re: RB lagging the game a lot.
 

Strange, because adminmod or statsme are not so cpu intensive...

Re: RB lagging the game a lot.
 

I guess i'll try to re-install.

Re: RB lagging the game a lot.
 

I wouldn't re-install to clear the lag on a listen server. The re-install wont cure it. It also happens on Windows dedicated and Linux servers. I think that the RB mod is cpu intensive, so much that you get frames dropping. Personally, I have found that the more bots you have the greater the lag and also map size plays a part in it. With fy_iceworld and 20 bots there is little lag but if you run cs_shogun_final with 6 bots, then the lag is noticeable. Hope this helps.

[QUOTE=Lantern]........Whenever I make a game with the bots, the game lags a lot at the start of every round, and everytime one of the admins tries to use a command....... [QUOTE]

does it lag with all commands or specific ones? and what maps you play (Like silver ghost says).
Are you playing on lan or over the internet, if over the internet with how many player (human) are conected? and what is your connection speed (up/down).

And remember, your cpu and ram have to handel: you, the bots, the humanplayers, ect. so it probebly need alot of cpu usage and ram.

Re: RB lagging the game a lot.
 

I play all the normal maps, office, dust, aztec, etc. 6-8 bots on each team. 1-2 real players. Cable internet, not sure the up/down speed. Like 300k. Um.. LAN I guess, I just click the create server button.

Re: RB lagging the game a lot.
 

12-16 bots, that's much. Ever tried less bots, e.g. 3 bots in each team?

Re: RB lagging the game a lot.
 

I agree with Terran, Lantern, try to reduce the bots until you get better performance. As Terran says, try 3, then 4 and so on. ignore the lag at the beginning of the game, only look for lag AFTER the bots are running. That's the way RealBot works at the moment.
