After killing everything in a huge radius (Which the mod thought was the problem), and still experiencing the lag. He finally teleported me my friend far away from where the problem was. Somehow it seemed to work. I have no lag and I'm even able to go back to that spot without any troubles.
No idea what happened. But i'm not complaining either.
The server that I am on has found a possible solution.
I'm running craftbukkit, and even with using the /butcher 20000000 (commands that kills all living entities except players in a radius of 20000000) i'm still experiencing the problem.
Yeah, We actually just blew up the whole squid pack, and although some lag for other people are gone, My friend's and I lag is still there.
Balls. Back to the drawing board...
And I tried the 'limit framerate', nothing happened.
The server that I am on has found a possible solution.
We have found a chunk of water full of squid. Hundreds of them. This chunk seems to be in the center of where the people who are lagging were when the lag began.
We have placed tnt right in the middle of the squid mob, and plan to detonate it soon, killing the squid. We are unsure if it will work, or if this is the same problem that ya'll are having. I'll post again saying if it worked or not.
Nevermind. It got rid of some lag that other people on the server was experiencing, but it wasn't the source of the lag that some people have. (Including me...)
If this problem is only affecting you and your friend, Then It's probably your internet connection. You could try running a defrag scan which helps let your computer access data easily, or check if your computer has at least 15% free space left. Those are what I normally do whenever I'm on my older pc.
At first, we assumed it was the internet as well, so we went to other places and tried their internet. We have been in the same room as people who were playing fine, and still had troubles.
As for defrag and free space, I know that's not what is causing this. We both have a good chunk of our space left, and macs don't need to be defraged. (Some sort or filing system, I don't speak computer jargon.) So if needing a defrag was the problem, it wouldn't effect me.
So a friend and I have a problem. We are apart of a multiplayer server, with about 20 people or so. Starting on 3/27/11, my friend and I have been getting really bad lag on the server.
It usually starts out as the game loading more slowly than usual (Fall into the void for a few minutes), and then the landscape loading only about 20 blocks or so ahead of us. After that, we have to wait 2 to 3 minutes before the next chunk loads. After a good portion of the map is loaded, the game slows down so bad that we cant move or do anything.
We can't place block, take away blocks, usually can't see mobs (and when we do, the damage that is being done does not come into effect until minuets later.), the chat lags (We can see people's responses fairly quickly, but ours takes forever to go up, if at all. Even when we use the map function on the server, which we go to via the internet, it still takes a while for our chat text to process.), and even the options menu lags when coming up.
Quick facts about our computers and server:
-I have a Mac laptop, he has a PC laptop.
-We often use our dorm internet (which sucks), but we have tried other places to no avail. I usually use wireless internet, he is wired.
-I have tried deleting and re-uploading the game: nothing.
-The server is privately hosted on a friends server that he bought, I don't know much about the workings, but I know he uses bukkit. (And he has no idea whats going on with the lag.)
-Our single player is starting to lag a bit, but we don't know if it's related or not.
-We are the ONLY ones to have this happen to us.
-When I died and went back to spawn, everything seemed normal again, only when I went back to the place that i was, it started to lag again. Same with my friend. However, others have been around that area and seem fine. However, I do not know if anyone has been in the exact area.
Basically, is there any way to fix it? We have run out of ideas. If anymore information is needed, please ask. Thanks for all the help (if any, haha), in advance!
