Nexgen sensitive points it's not the only problem, I see "smart" ones are using hacked files having functions added and trying to call them remotely. Server won't do this as it doesn't have them causing whatever network effect which I think cannot be easily predicted not even by others more expert in UE1 assets than EPIC themselves. How do I know about those hacks without a file checker ? - ACE was trash at moment badly conflicting with XC functions - AND FIXES.
VDS machine chapter.
There are running not one single server. Machine is powerful but... it's still a quad core system. In order to prevent a single server to exhaust machine and lagging other servers hosted there, I went to restrict a server only for two cores sorting them a bit based on player presence. There was needed sharing CPU to 4-5 servers but using different cores those which are not under a high stress.
Evil's server if I well recall I pointed to 2-3 - core 3 is the charged one and core 2 is more relaxed - it's what TaskManager is reporting
Other Server pointed to 1-2 - Core 2 is more loaded then
All cores are already loaded but some cores are not under a high stress as they are working only outside of UScript side, and then
Another is 0-1 - Core 1 has the higher charge combined with Core 1 assigned with less load for another server. And so on with the rest - any new server done later I pointed based on CPU load reported by TaskManager. If TM reported more free Core 1 and 2, new server went to Core 1-2 for leaving the rest of games alone unaffected.
All these at a moment delivered some equilibrium in machine making them smoother.
After a few weeks, I was receiving more e-mails about: Updates, DDoS denials, Hardware Upgraded, Servers Relocating, etc.
You can imagine perhaps after these changes done at a higher Level you cannot say that I did things in sabotage style as long as all was working smoother before all events. By reverting some changes to stock I'll bet that servers will go laggish and full of warping, ping spikes and all that stuff. If a server (or more) running in a higher priority aren't smoother anymore then... we are physically under resourced - I don't think this is easy to solve.
MapVotes
MapVote type brothers of LA13, such as MVU3 have a setting for caching maps and not reloading and processing/sorting all maps all the time, only when admin wants that at server level.
... There is a check Box saying something like "loading on request only" - when it comes to maps loaded in server.

If we talk about player and lists completion at ending matches, these are not completed instantly because server sends them. Other certain types of MapVotes are storing maps in player. I'm not sure what is stored and how when 3 servers are using the same MapVote but different maps... LOL. I asked about this problem and I got no replies. To me this was a no go - maybe I'm wrong here but... for me MVU3 has enough power and capabilities. Feel free to use other advanced types if you can deal with them out of issues.
