    Default Lag = Database Contention?

    Hi,

    The theory regarding database contention on the food field, and therefore its corresponding table is very plausible.

    Evony, give us less upkeep for now, but ensure it's not zero. Based on the hypothesis, the lag should then stay, as the records would still need to be updated at the same rate; only by a lesser amount.

    If the lag remains, look at splitting the table holding the food field into more than one table. Split it in two say, and put locations with odd X-coordinates in one table, and locations with even X-coordinates in another. If the lag comes down by approximately half, you're onto a solution. Scale until there are diminishing performance returns...

    Assuming you are using a database that can do partitioning, place the split up table on different physical disks to reduce disk contention.

    Regards,

    Default Give us a Break

    ! I have a hard time understanding why you would give 0 upkeep for 1 day, When the problem is still there ! the Game is unplayable Well maybe 40 percent playable but Defiantly not enjoyable!! If We both money and non money players cant enjoy you product and you make it even more frustrating by starting upkeep again it only forces players to pay or quit and spend yet another week of lag and head banging frustration ! i would sooner you take it off line and put it back up when its playable and Does what it advertised to be !! if not give us all a Break until its fixed

    Well, I'm only going by what people say. A few posts down from here, someone appears to be claiming that they felt that there was still lag when there was no food upkeep, so the two claims are at odds with each other.

    I think there is a subjective component to what one views as "lag". Over on server n2, there is some lag, to be sure, but absolutely nothing like what I saw this morning when I made an account on ss57 to test. Also, sorry to break it to the people on ss54, it was far worse than anything I've ever seen on ss54.

    Evony needs to get some experienced people involved, and not worry about pride issues of not seeking outside help. If I were the manager responsible for the issue, I'd want a good network engineeer (CCNP / CCDP or higher) and a good DBA (someone accustomed to working with very large datasets with high server loads) involved.
