TW's new partnership with Conversant Media

[qan]

So I had time to do some more investigating: it really was Windows Update once again. I should have guessed. The reason some people could still remain online this time was likely because of the upgrade, though it didn't do that much good. Still was unplayable....

[qan]

I put in another ticket.

One big possible reason for our trouble has to do with Windows Server 2016 itself, which everyone knows is complete garbage. (Completely ignores policies, acts like a home machine.)


I'd like to consider...

Ad Partnership Temporarily on Hold


Hello everyone.

All I can say is: Wow. We really did not expect that kind of response to our revolutionary new partnership with Conversant Media, leaders in the business. While the ads were...

Greetings, Trench Warriors!

We're happy to announce a bold initiative for Trench Wars. Please join us in celebrating our new partnership with Conversant Media!

Before, we risked losing servers due to funding shortages. Reliance on...

Seems like a solid idea. Checking with bitsaver about the details of how stars are looked up. Can probably take from TWDT code fairly easily.

It was an afternoon's work ... fun one! It's classic jacks or better, meaning you can get close to 99.5% return with optimal play, basically the best odds in a casino this side of card-counting in blackjack.

The odds table is adjusted slightly...

[qan]

I'll put this in if everyone agrees this is how it should work.

[qan]

Missed this one, the day was hectic.

Yeah, agreed, as well as on the numbers. Lag settings updated in most common arenas including the first two of TWDD/J/B. Mostly I focused on ploss. I just now adjusted the bot numbers as well because those...

[qan]

I don't know if there's an automated way to do it, as in fill out a form, but I send you a subscription invoice from the TW PP for $10. That will only cost us about $0.50, which is not bad. If you want to do more one month you can add a tip, heh. Thanks for...

[qan]

Yep, !status

[qan]

Were those PMs from the bot or server messages? The server shouldn't be harassing you now. New lag settings. Though some people were playing in twbd3, where the settings are the same as before, for comparison....

[qan]

I've drastically loosened lag limits in all the major arenas. Can see if it helps. So far seems to be working.

Can always try tether/VPN for different options if that's still not enough.


Yeah, that's Subgame vs ASSS. ASSS might...

[qan]

Heads up, was playing some CS and noticing a lot of issues there as well. Not latency/lag, but lost packets causing erratic position updates/big jumps.

Very likely this is a general internet issue that's only worsening the smaller problems you...

[qan]

Will also be making some temporary changes to lag limits for crucial arenas. Have gathered some actionable info but would love to see more to develop a pattern. If you know of anyone experiencing issues, please ask them to post here:

http://f...

[qan]

We've been experiencing higher levels of lag lately, as you may have noticed. Most players are affected somewhat (you may notice higher packetloss and occasional spikes). Some are very seriously affected.


Please report any lag issues you...

[qan]

Going to make a new thread to gather reports.

[qan]

This. Take a look at the news in the last day or two. This is a big problem for many online services, not just us. The networks are strained. People are staying at home, and they're streaming movies and music, playing games, etc.

This likely...

[qan]

Will be looking at this one soon. It may either be related to Microsoft's absolute trash-tier idea of a "server", or to particular net issues.

Server was changed because our old provider closed up shop and Priit decided he didn't want...

[qan]

Great, thanks for giving it a shot! Would be a really big show of how active we still are....
