Current Server Issues

[Shonky]

Hey folks,

I'm just working on getting the server sorted out, for now I have disable the 2 redstone clocks round the spawn point to test if this improves things, standing with both of those in view averaged about 5-600 chunk updates per second, with those disabled we are down to about 2-6 updates per second, I would like to leave these like this for a day or so just to gauge if stability improves, thanks.

Ok, it's been long enough, had up to 10 people on the server at a time for extended periods without any problems since the redstone clocks were stopped so I guess for the time being they will have to stay that way, will fire them up again after the next update to see if notch has fixed this new bug.

It could be because they are at the spawn point. Maybe try create one that's 50 odd blocks away from
Spawn, see how the server goes.

I'll give it a shot Neil but I'm not sure it will help much, redstone circuits run independent of the players view, the maximum working distance is 20 chunks (300 blocks in game), this it to allow you to switch things on and off at large distances and still have them work, but it could also explain why those that were a long way out of town said they didn't have any lag issues.

It seems that my ADSL connection has become unstable as of today (and my sync rate is all over the shop). I'm going to keep an eye on it over the next few days and if it's still having problems I'll be testing with alternative hardware. If the problems persist I'll be calling up Internode to get them to check out my connection. This is just a heads up to keep you guys in the loop.

PS I've also been sick over the last few days so I may not be around my PC to answer messages.

[Shonky]

Cheers for the heads up mate, get well soon.

Yep, get well Astro.

Rest up Astro...

How many connections can you handle Astro? And at what point WILL YOU FUCKING ACCEPT PAYMENT! I'm recruiting more people.. by accident to be honest. I show them some pics of what I've made and what other people have made, and they want in.

He doesn't accept money or money shots so I don't know what we can do to make him change his mind ...
