Server Lag - FPS lag etc

[Inphidel]

ok, last few days i've noticed alot more lag on servers. i'm curious if its just the NA having internet problems or if possibly 2.1 is eating alot more CPU on the servers causing alot of warping.

anyone noticing this on the EURO or AUS side of the world?

someone made mention it could be the increased length of replay recoding causing the lag. alot of NA server have now turned off replay anycause its too long, but does DB still record for replays even if its off?

i was playing on dbl3 (showing everyone the spawn bug), and before i did the bug, it felt like i had a really high ping.

It's probably happening when that bug takes place... whenever on Fo server that it happens I just restart the map and all seems well... but yeah this bug is taking its toll, maybe a few weeks delay on a release will alleviate this in the future...

I seem to have about a half second delay with everything, playing on the bud server. Weird because I ping around 80 - 100 there and it's usually quite playable.

Noticed more lag on euro servers too but no where near as bad.

replays are waay to long

My PC and connection are not the best. I always have a bit harder time as the player count goes up. 2.1 has been worse performance wise. All the changes involving replays, pass code and models, could be factors in the decrease of performance.

I've also seen the return of the fast slow gameplay. Sometime everything seem to be fast mode and other times everything seems to be in slow mode. Haven't seen that since 1.9.

UFO server has been very chopyp lately (feels more liek cpu lag than ping lag)

could 2.1 be using more of a CPU overhead than 2.0? or are all the server isp's running doom3 servers and jacking up their bandwidth?
