Controlling Server Lag

[Mack Attack]

Hi, I had my map up and people kept leaving cause of lag and kept complaining about lag. Two people stated that the lag was due to " Brick Lag". However, there was only about 22,500 bricks. I've played city RPGs that had much more bricks and there were no people talking about lag. The map was the kitchen, would that be lagier than slate? Could it be my computer? I wasn't lagging much but my computer is really bad. Please leave any comments about how to reduce lag or why my server is lagging.

Its probably your computer
Or the people's computer they can't handle a lot of bricks if they have old cpus

Well, if it is actually "Brick Lag" then it simply means that the people coming to your server have underpowered computers that cannot handle 22k bricks. However another issue could simply be that your internet's up speed is slow, causing data from the server to the clients to not be sent fast enough.

I don't lag from bricks, so that invalidates that anyone else can!

22.5k bricks lagged my old computer to forget. That combined with your internet, the ability to handle more than a few players, and that's likely the difference. Nothing is created equal. Press Ctrl+N while hosting and see what's going on with the network, it's probably full.

Your computer is the problem or your internet. You should just buy Kalphiter's Server Hosting =p

Bandwidth of the server is pretty much the single biggest factor in lag.

I did not know about this server purchasing, please inform me.

What can I do to increase bandwidth? Sadly I'm already on the best internet plan with our service provider Quest.

Would Slate lag less at all than Kitchen?

Open resource monitor.
Go to networking, take a screenshot of the right side once there is enough data and show us.
Open task manager, take screenshot of "processes" tab.

Do all this while running a dedicated server with a decent amount of players.

Is there enough info there to help people take my code, hack me or do any other types of unwanted activity?

I also dont have dedicated servers addon. Usually I only get up to 6 people cause they complain about lag. How much would decent be? (also how do I take screen shots of things not in blockland?)

On a brighter note I'm getting a new comp with 12 Gb ram, intel core 7, 1 Tb drive, and alot of other fun things. Would that bring down the lag?

If you're afraid of this then you're helpless.

There's 23 clients that are using his service and none of them have had problems with this. You tell me.

[Mack Attack]

Im not talking about his service, i'm talking about things that would reduce the lag in my server. If  you don't have anything helpful to post, then please don't post it.

It seems like it would be your internet being slow.

30% of users have old CPU's.  but Don't have any other computers on the internet while you are online playing.  I seriously hate my loving family when they do that.
