Please restart the update server

Or whatever it was that a1 was restarting to fix the lag issues.

Thanks

Hmmm... Would it be possible to make a cron job or something to automatically restart the server every hour or something if nobody was using it?

Or just once a day at some obscure time, and god, err i mean <***> will say "<***> Server restart in 30 seconds, log off please." then 30 seconds later, "<***> I TOLD YOU TO LOG OFF!"

There hasn't been an hour when nobody's been using the server in several months. And I don't think restarting the update server will actually have much of an effect. I found a much more serious (very obscure, but I found a way to reliably reproduce it) problem in the network code.

Also, please stop posting about this. Seriously. I know. I'm fixing bugs related to this now. Fixit release Wednesday, probably.

Hehe... Okay, my last post about the lag: It was REALLY bad today... I had the connection fail on me about 3 or 4 times in a period of 5 or 10 minutes... And while I was actually able to play, it was insanely laggy... Okay, I'll shut up now... :P

He's like that guy who's still telling people how good that Star Wars movie is, and everyone should go see it.

Kick that code's ass, a1k0n.
