Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hey MadDogX

I've tested the Directive on two different Game Servers (all 3 machines)and I'm Happy to report the Issue is NONEXISTENT on Dedicated Server Executable. :-)

Please MARK IT as FIXED.

Thanks

Just As Title Suggests.

verifySignatures - Weak (1) or Full (2) Protection Causes Major Lag Issues On a Server. Especially when Clients are connecting.

Server is running in a Headless Client Mode. Not Sure how it performs with current DEDICATED SERVER EXE in the Dev Build.

This Needs to be Tested and Fixed before BETA Release !!!!

WITH THE (BUTCHERED) RELEASES OF MODS THAT CAUSE IMMINENT SERVER LAG (VAS + MODS) OR JUST TACTICAL ADVANTAGE TO ANOTHER PLAYER WE DONT HAVE MUCH OF A CHOICE.
LAG with MODS or disable the MODS and lag with verifySignatures.

Tested on three different Hardware Setups.

  1. i7@4.2 with 12GB of RAM and 2x SSDs in RAID0
  2. i7@3.6 with 8GB of RAM and SSD.
  3. Core2Quad@3.45 with 8GB of RAM and 2x HD 7200rpm in RAID0

SAME PERFORMANCE HIT ON ALL THREE !!!

! It seems that DEDICATED SERVER.EXE (5/23/13 UPDATE) fixes the ISSUE !

Will be Testing it for the next two days!!!
