This looks to me like your router is restarting itself or your WiFi connection is dropping. Another reason could be connection restart (happens daily at least once for most ISP customers). Every time this happens, if you stay in the game, you will not be able to connect to the last server you were connected to, for a while. You will be able to connect to other servers just fine. To mitigate this re-connection problem, quit the game immediately after you drop out. You should be able to normally connect to the server again on the next attempt. You can do the following to check if the connection is possibly dropping while you are in the game session: Open a command or power-shell console in Windows (or equivalent on Linux) and type the following command ping jay1.clan-fa.com -n 36000 then hit the enter key to execute the command. This will continuously ping the jay1 server for 10 hours. Note: you can quit this anytime by pressing the CTRL+C keys or simply close the window. Start the pinging process and start the game and play. As soon you get dropped out of the server, quit the game and look into the pinging process windows. If you see anything similar to 'network destination could not be reached', or 'network destination timed out' this means the connection dropped. Also, feel free to contact me when you see me on Jay1, I can help you with all this, if you need anything.

this is ping result of jay1.clan-fa.com Ping statistics for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: Packets: Sent = 300, Received = 217, Lost = 83 (27% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 112ms, Maximum = 146ms, Average = 114ms

I took a couple of metering for different servers. As you can see, only the jay1 server is losing packets. I am not the only one complaining about the issue. Also to note, is that jay1 has unusually many nodes in between, unlike other servers located in the USA. jay1.clan-fa.com losing 26% of packets, which is very high. |------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | WinMTR statistics | | Host -

Please, put some description what is special about your config, as most people are unwilling to load random configs, thanks!

Yes, remove it please. In the last rotation, this map had the score lower than -400 and why it was kept in the rotation it is a mystery to me ... now it is -115 or so. Every time this map is loaded, the server is losing a significant portion of players or people just go to spec and wait until it is finished.

Having too many bots is one of top complaints players on the server have. I think just reducing the number will please most players.

Hi guys, as promised I am back to report who is to blame seta r_ext_compiled_vertex_array "1" had it on 0, instead of 1 Thank you all once again for your help!

cvar_restart heps. However, when I load my rendering config, the problem is back, meaning it is something in my config. I guess I will need to go slowly throught the settings and see what it is. Once I have something to blame, will come back and share the solution with you. Thank you all for helping!

This has nothing to do with the server. You can have red bars in the lagometer and still no lag. This can happen if you have an another connection to somewhere which is sharing the bandwidth. I.e., when using a software like Hyper-V or Vmware. If the connection in these hypervisors is in idle state, the red lines in the lagometer will be purely cosmetic thing. Disabling additional network adapters not in use should fix this. Or shutting the internal network down (if you are not familiar with these terms you are probably not using this software). If someone if experiencing the lag though, then it requires some knowledge about network troubleshooting to track the source down.
