Lag spikes

[The Punisher]

I've noticed that when the map changes back to ava from a different map, there is usually a lag spike within 2-10 min of playing. It happened today after the map changes from donner and i've noticed it a few other times...it also sometimes leads to the server crashing. Dont know if its coincidence but i figured it might be a useful piece of info....it also started happening within i'd say about the last 2 wks.

It seems to me that it happens within two minutes or so after every map change, and lasts for maybe 3 seconds... but sometimes people either get dropped (or voluntarily reconnect).

[The Punisher]

yea exactly

[distraction]

Agreed.

Same issue tonite...Every map change server freezes for a second or 2

I noticed that this only happened when how the voting was done changed. For example

Before: if another map had 5 votes and ava had 4 we switched to other maps - no lag

Now: if another map has 5 votes and ava has 4 ava wins if we're on ava - lag

It also started happening after the 1 day the parachute mod was enabled .

u jus hate it when we play ava.

[diamond-optic]

the map voting hasnt changed for like a couple months...

and the parachute thing was only back on for a few days

I don't mind playing ava, I just don't want to play it for 2 hours =)

hmmmm, well maybe I haven't been on for a close vote in a while =P

Ya I noticed it was gone the next day. it was intresting =|
