Server Hosting FAQ

More and less typical server hosting problems, questions and answers.

Server is lagging for all players in regular intervals and lagometer has large blue "saw" pattern

Caused by operating system clock drift. This can happen for example when NTP daemon needs to adjust for large time difference (eg. after restoring from snapshot). It can be fixed with NTP configuration - jk2mv can handle a single large system time adjustment but not continuous drift.

Few other symptoms:

• cl_showTimeDelta - numbers are consistently raising/dropping and there is "" instead of a number regularly.
• Ingame timer runs slower/faster than real time.
