Some test data I collected today:

Click here!

it's red, it's evil, it prevents me from playing

[kasperl]

disable -timerbar in the launcher?

[Lightspeed]

I used it in order to gather that information?

its like "i tested RT's new texture code and xxx happened" - "turn off RT's new texture code"

So, any coder got an idea what might be causing that huge red slow down, that only happens in multi, limits everything to 4 FPS, and makes the game messy?

[kasperl]

well, RT's tex code is listed as buggy.

j/k

i thought you thought the bars were the entire reason it was unplayable. turn it off, and use stats to see what amounts of mem are being used.

[Lightspeed]

have you actually looked at the link?

Believe me, I was smart enough to do that

Just figured it might be more info if i also posted the timerbar results.

Mem usage seems to be about the same in single and multiplayer but multi screws up whereas single player works flawlessly.

[kasperl]

yeah, i clicked the link, but this monitors brightness = 0, ergo, i didn;t see that correctly.

what kind of connection do you have?

[Lightspeed]

DSL.

[kasperl]

wierd.

[Lightspeed]

what's really weird is I can play on PXO without any problems

It has to be something that's screwed with the SCP code.

lightspeed: does this ocur in the latest build

[Kazan]

i have an idea what it was... posting a build in a few minutes

[phreak]

someone compiled in TIMERBAR_ENABLED.  i thought there was a way to supress it

yes, it is still happening. It also makes some WAVs being loaded fubar (not only the ANI) - I sometimes get some odd screeching noises instead of the proper wave when i'm at 4 FPS with the bug.

simply dont tick the tickbox if you want it turned off.

[Kazan]

I saw you testing, killed saburo's standalone... ug

i jusit posted a build - try it

[Kazan]

PS: You're firewalled

if you have zone alarm you have to remind it of it's permissions when you change execs

[Lightspeed]

Not exactly firewalled - routered.

Anyway:

I'll yet have to test actual host-client situations, but on my own host i just had a 15 minute game without any crash or bug

It seems you have cleaned out the bug. Some screenies as a 'reward':









On a sidenote, may I ask what was the problem?
I always prefer understanding why something happened / didn't happen

[Kazan]

Multithread race condition

i took the sockets out of multithreaded mode - it wasn't required

So my server got shot through the head?


Dernit, I knew should've enabled remote desktop.  I'll have to restart it when I get home.
