I think there should be a daily server restart scheduled for all the ZA Zombie Servers around a specific time where no one is hardly on to play it. For example around 1-3AM EST my time as i see most of the ZA servers being empty along with 1 or 2 only having 4 or 6 people the most when expected. The reason to why is because we've been experiencing lags/bump lags/warps/bad shot registrations in the servers majority of the time. I remember when I invented/scrimmed back in the Halo PC Community, this had happened to the servers we played at. So whoever had FTP access to the servers would log into FTP and restart the server as it would go back up as fresh and new after 15 seconds. The lead would be much better aka smaller for higher pings and even the shot registrations would hit way better than it was at previous state. Also, zombies won't be warpy as much as before. So does anyone agree with this suggestion? And also if this suggestion does get approved, then on the front page of the website, it should be in bold and bigger sized letters saying something like: Server Daily Restart: (With the time it restarts)

Hmmm why not just fix the problem directly?

Well, I don't think it has anything to do with a problem with the server referring to something like with the gametype files, scripts, or any other files that are in the FTP regarding to this lag/reg issue. This happens to all the Halo servers. For example, if those scrim servers we played in gets restarted from FTP, then it will load back up to the Blood Gulch map again aka whatever starting map was there in the sv_mapcycle of the init.txt file and the lead/shot registration in the server would be much better than it was before along with fixing bump lags and server warps big time. I'm guessing when the server is online repeatedly for days without restart, then it might get some packet transfer loss from the FTP host causing those problems to happen.

@Vulture a daily reset is a great idea!

I think Stats was scheduled to go down at about 5am to update the ranks at some point, though Slim might just do that manually now, I can't remember.
Automatic restart would help though.

Stats was set to calculate everything on Thursday morning for a while, but that might have changed.
This sounds like a good idea, if it can be implemented automatically.

Great idea.
I think it's just an issue with Halo itself concerning server issues. The network system sucks.
If resetting fixes issues relatively well though, would be a good idea to reset often. :/
I think there was a project to automatically fix issues without resetting though. SAPP for Custom Edition had a basic 'Delagifier system' at one point. I'm uncertain if sehe advanced it further. |

Thanks for supporting.
Also:
@Code
The stats won't reset. It's just a server restart kinda like restarting to fix your computer whenever your computer is like all slow/laggy after loading some high graphical games/videos, but it's not like system reformatting where it deletes all the files and starts from the beginning.

good idea! recently the scripts are breaking up in stats and pro2. that would probably solve that problem as well.

Most days the server goes down at 10pm my time for about 30 mins... I thought it was updating the ranks but idk... I think that's 5am US time or something? |
