CPU Cooling Question - Classic Fan vs Sealed Water Kit
boki replied to Blunt's topic in Hardware Discussion
water cooling is an overkill for that CPU and that money is better invested elsewhere. an advice from a guy who has built thousands of computers in his life. -
almost a year since this topic has been raised, no wonder players go to other servers... myself pointed the same - Sten is useless. some top players claim the same (people that can consistently shoot with 50% accuracy).

Reporting that now I cannot connect to jay1 at all (trying for the past 15 min. of posting this). Stays at Awaiting gamestate... and that's it. EDIT: I can connect to any other server without any delay EDIT: it is the 178.32.135.211 node (vl1332.was1-vin1-g1-nc5.wa.us)

@daredevil Just letting you know - the node 178.32.135.155 (vl1333.was1-vin1-g2-nc5.wa.us) has now my usual average ping (cca 120ms) and my lagometer looking pretty normal with 19-20 snaps. So far, this is the best candidate to troubleshoot. I am happy to provide any data to help them with troubleshooting. It seems that, whatever they have in front of the Jay1 server node itself, is slowing down the server traffic for some players. I assume there is a proxy (load balancer) one step ahead of it, so it does not affect all players (best guess, as I do not have any insight into their infrastructure). With PingPlotter it is much easier to see these details, thank you for suggesting using it.

posting two images, one with how it looks when it is normal and one with lag having right now

Sad to report that these issues appear only on jay1 and my connection or nodes along the way have nothing to do with it. Same route is used by some other servers and I do not have any lags there. So far issues are intermittent, and beside heavy lag, sometimes it also takes forever to connect to the server. Usually, if the time to connect is long, the lag is also there. My ping goes from the usual 120 average to 190 or higher. The issue is happening right now. As this is my favorite server, the issue is really frustrating. Anyone had this issue before? Or knows what could be possible be the issue?

Is there a way, for testing purposes at least, to connect your computer to your router using a network cable (to avoid wireless connection completely and the amplifier)? Then you should repeat all those tests and see what comes out. My results are similar to those of Leatherface, regarding the speed. Yours response times seem a bit too high for a connection originating from Germany (would be normal for India, i.e.). Did you problems start with adding that extender? Or, can you connect the issue start with anything you have done on the computer or router?

Host - % | Sent | Recv | Best | Avrg | Wrst | Last | ns1017393.ip-135-148-137.us - 26 | 50 | 37 | 112 | 113 | 126 | 113 | 26 % packets lost on jay1, ping very stable the situation is improving lately, though.

Definitively not issue on the client side. having these issues myself lately. It is not the packet loss shown on the WinMTR, because with the same amount of packet loss, I do not have any lag or connection issues with any other ET server. Those are simply dropped ICMP packets. There is an issue with Jay1. Ping goes up by 2x or even 3x and the game eventually gets unplayable. Then suddenly the lag is completely gone (the packet loss still shown on the WinMTR, so it is not affecting or causing lag issues) and one can normally play. The issue is either happening on the server or something else is affecting the network performance (not a connection issue). Another thing - Jay1 is the only server where you can be hit behind the corner, another signal there is a network issue on the server side. @Bison90 I see your ping is fluctuating quite a bit (big difference between best and worst with high average). Can you, please, run a network connection test and post a screenshot of it? You can run it here: https://www.speedtest.net/

Regarding lag issues, I just had a look into submitted WinMTR stats. The loss is definitively happening on Jay1. I am constantly having lag issues on Jay1 too and yesterday it went to extreme where I could not even connect to the server or it took very long until I would be finally connected. 🤪 Right now, miraculously, the lag is completely gone and everything is fast, green and blue. 🥰 Where there known issues with jay1 lately, are they resolved by now? @daredevil

The lag is still very present, to the point I cannot play. It seems the issue is caused by Cogent servers be6057.rcr21.zag01.atlas.cogentco.com - 13 | 101 | 88 | 16 | 16 | 34 | 17 | | be2811.ccr52.vie01.atlas.cogentco.com - 20 | 85 | 68 | 16 | 17 | 63 | 16 | I did contacted them and their response is that this is not a real packet loss, but rather ICMP command drops. But, I cannot but ask myself, why would these servers drop ICMP packets anyway, unless it cannot handle the traffic volume? This is now going for about a month and just not sure how to get to a solution. However, since I am not a Cogent customer, I could not pursue this further and argue about it. Anyone having an idea how to make Cogent to do something about it? Maybe running a more sophisticated test and then present more representative data?

Having the same issue. Cannot join jay1 and when I succeeded today (took a while to get in), the lag was so high, I could not play. EDIT: Was able to connect a few minutes ago, but the lag is still very present. I have already a thread open for it, so will continue there.

This is new to me too. Would you be so kind and film the preparation process too?

It does not seem like you have tried what I have suggested to you. or at least, you did not provide any feedback about it. Please, try what I (and others) have suggested before posting again. There is no sense in not following our steps and continue asking for help. According to new screenshots, these are confirming the existing suspicion - it is your connection in question. You can try to reconnect with these commands, after dropping out: /connect jay1.clan-fa.com or to a different server /connect jay2.clan-fa.com Please, try suggested steps and provide feedback on it, thank you (see my previous post above)
