Blockland running slow after hosting...

[Bot man]

When I start hosting, the game starts to run very slowly as if there were lots of bricks (or spam) there and then I have to restart the game in order to make Blockland start running smoothly. It started suddenly yesterday, and it was working fine the day before, and the only thing I downloaded the day before this started was this: http://forum.returntoblockland.com/dlm/viewFile.php?id=1898. And it couldn't be crappy internet because look:




Help please?

The issue is almost certainly that your computer cannot handle the weight of hosting a server with lots of bricks.
If you want to make sure that this is the issue, run dxdiag and post the results.

It happens even when there's NO bricks inside the server!

[pecon98]

run dxdiag and post the results.

I'm pretty sure this is the same case. I have no idea still what causes this sadly, but the problem goes away after a bit.

[pecon98]

It could still be a slow computer problem.
Go to the graphics tab on dxdiag and post that too, Dell laptops frequently have stuff graphics cards.

I doubt it considering it was working just fine beforehand.

Whoops, no edit button. I didn't mean Dell specifically, but you get the point.

Anyways, I am not a true expert on video cards; but that chipset family does not look like it is very powerful.
See: http://ark.intel.com/products/chipsets/35507

Also, you should try disabling add-ons and see if that helps. Some add-ons can create a heavy load on the server.

It could still be a slow computer problem.
Go to the graphics tab on dxdiag and post that too, Dell laptops frequently have stuff graphics cards.

O Rly? No wonder i lag so much... I have dell.

[Planr]

I know what this is. I used to get it all the time.

Whenever I would download RTB addons over mod manager while on a server, then try to host a server later, it will cause massive lag and won't allow me to do hardly anything. I don't know why this is. You will have to delete the addon, restart your computer, and then it should work fine.

Here's a tip to prevent this if you want to get more mods for your server:

When you start up blockland, do NOT join any servers. Go to RTB mod manager directly (not on the internet, on BL), and download the mods you want. Next, restart blockland and then start up your server. That should safely get the mod to work without lagging you to death.
