SMAC variance increase
- Thread starter Bottiger
- Start date
if you were on the awesome box server then thats probably normal.
went on there today on my ping was shit, and it was laggy.
every other skial server is fine though
I blame people with high pings, I need to L2Read sometime.

in my opinion if it going to keep causing lag, its better to not have it. Thats why we have admins, i know they arnt perfect and cannot d owhat smac does. but its better then lag.
Maybe just keep it on the orange serveR?

How hard is it to turn SMAC on and off? Would it be tough to set up some sort of script that turns it on here and there for 20 min increments or something like that, to kind of patrol the off-peak hours, or is it so integrated into TF2 that you'd have to restart the servers every time?
the problem is not the time its on. SMAC runs after every bullet someone fires, every kill, every action it runs through a sequence of events to see if the person is hacks.
now imagine our like 20+ servers. each full most of the time. So almost every second people are firing. SMAC is working its butt off. Taking up too much cpu causing the servers to lag.
thats the problem ;)
I understand that. My question was more about the possibility of using it in small time intervals during off-peak times, so you might still catch the occasional person who downloaded some sort of cheatpack, but without lagging the server all the time for the maximum number of players.
i don't know if what ur asking is even possible. thats all bottiger though it seems like more work then its worth :/
