Funnily enough, if we had the Poop and Egg Collector :mrgreen: mod, we would only need 2 of each of the kibble dinos as the mod would collect the eggs automatically. A massive reduction in egg farm size.

So whats the word munki? can we do this? the opinion outside of the spam tamers on the center is now falling to a 100 limit.

Either way can we please do it soon? the lag only continues to get worse while the same tribes laugh about it and tame more dinos.

What are you going to do when it doesn't improve the lag? I have no issue with it as it will help FPS in certain sectors but I firmly believe the network code of the game is the issue. There is just as much lag on the official servers I can assure you.

I would actually like Munki to run some diagnostics before the cap, and after, just to see what improvement is made. It may give direction for further improvements in the future if it works, or demonstrate to us that it had no effect.

Don't burn the witch, analyse the evidence.

I have analysed a lot. I read the forums, both Steam and official regularly. From what I read the amount of tamed dinos on the server is the number 1 influence on the "lag" spikes and how often they occur.

We currently have tribes with far to many dinos, on the Center the lag is almost unplayable.

And guess what before we had large tribes with far to many dinos we didn't have any lag, go figure!

Just want to add to this thread that since a certain tribes stuff got removed the server has become so much smoother.

Significantly, noticeable, less lag and rubber banding is all but gone.

Maybe it was due to to all those hundreds of tamed dinos?

I am glad it worked and the game is running better for you, but is it decreased latency or increased FPS?

I get consistent 31ms on the Island, with a drop in FPS from 60 to 38 whenever I fly over a large base. Now this could be dinos, could be structures, or a combination of both however the latency is never affected, just FPS.

Keeping in mind though that the Island is Sydney based, and the Center is Brisbane based.

It's a shame that a game so dependant on the taming and utilisation of dinos, should ironically be so negatively affected by the taming and utilisation of dinos.

Decreased latency, pings is now a solid 40 where as before i had 80-100 regularly.

And it only took getting rid of a friendly tribe who donates, cause they had a lot of dinos and a large base.
