Patch Notes 9-5

Maintenance

That's Alot of Servers! Distributed Computing. 

The New Machine:  

  • Added a new machine for hosting servers up 24/7  
  • Installed a new os, so that everything is fresh and stable 
  • Installed a new M.2 for greatly enhanced performance.
  • Integrated both, so that each machine works together.
  • Increased map count drastically
  • Maps up 24/7 are Aberration, Ragnarok, and Club Ark.
  • If anyone is on these servers, The Island, Scorched Earth, Extinction, and Genesis Part 1 automatically open.
  • Further, if someone is actively in club ark, two more maps will open.
  • Two rotations are present.
  • The Center and Valguero now alternate daily.
  • Astraeos and Lost Colony also alternate daily. 
  • If the map online is not desired, you can now request another as it was before. 
  • Requestable only maps are also still present.

Reduced Lag:

  • Found numerous sources of lag on the new machine
  • Resolved lag from redundant processes
  • Removed most of a redundant process, and replaced it with another
  • Optimized the process further, so that only a fraction of the work remains, resulting in a major optimization and reduced compute required.

Work Continues

  • Planned upgrade to the new machine to increase performance further.
  • Further work is planned to fully fix and squash bugs resulting from splitting servers between two machines
