There was MASSIVE lag during BarnBlitz this afternoon around 5PM - 5:30PM PST. Everyone had ping over 200-300 and the game was unplayable. Some screenshots that I took...
Lag spikes have been happening during Badwater Basin, but the game is a bit more tolerable. There's still lag, but I guess its improved...

This is strange. It seems in the morning there is no lag, and as time goes on, it starts getting laggier and laggier until about 5:00AM EST.
I took these screenshots after most people had left the server. Before they left it was soooo laggy it was impossible to play. Thanks to the lag I once was able to charge as a demoknight THREE times in under FOURTEEN seconds.

I'm assuming those screenshots were from yesterday?
I was playing most of the day from 9AM PST - 5PM PST this afternoon (yay for Rosh HaShana and me being a terrible Jew) and I experienced no problems. It was the complete opposite from yesterday where the server was practically garbage anytime I tried to jump on.
Yes, those were from yesterday. It occurred at roughly 7:00PM to 10:00PM EST. That lag is ridiculous. It's nearly impossible to backstab a guy as a spy. At it's worst, as a solider I can walk up to a level three sentry, get out my equalizer, and taunt kill. I'll tauntkill the sentry before the sentry, and server, realizes I just walked up to it. And, you know what? It takes roughly three full seconds to do a tauntkill with the equalizer.Originally Posted by cupboardoflove
Agreed, lag on the server has been quite bad. Generally the server will actually empty completely, an indication of how bad it is.
Payload just emptied out again during a full game due to the same symptoms. A cron process or something similar? Seems regular, but maybe not.
Any chance of a report from FFN admins about this? (FFN-3 if that's still a thing)?
It's rough to keep recommending donations for a server that has this happen.
Razer has been slamming his head against the wall for months trying to figure this out.
We are in the process of working with our service provider to determine it it is some sort of problem with their net or if it is some sort of attack.
I know this seems like a cop out post but we really really really want to fix this. The problem is that nothing is happening on the server itself to cause this lag.
We question whether it is some sort of really low level attack. Nothing severe enough to take the server down or stop people from logging in but something that causes just enough disruption to make the server really laggy for people to play on. Obviously whatever is going on we have been unable to detect as of yet. There are multiple other TF2 servers running on the same dedicated server yet Payload is the only one having these continuous lag issues.
We'll keep working on finding the problem. Thank you for continuing to play on the server, I wish I had better news to report or a definitive answer beyond this.
