No stat update when playing on SV

Fri Mar 17, 2006 12:58 am

Found this to be wierd. After finishing desertedsands map last night around 11:40, I thought I would check my stats to see how I did. However, my stats never reflected that I played that map. I then checked the server's stats for that map and it shows everyone else having played but me. Just curious if anyone else has encoutered this.

Did you jump in from spectator mode? I think that your stats dont work if you do.

I have had this problem, but if you wait between 15-40 minutes after the match, your stats will be there.

Well, that sucks. That is exactly what I did though.

Yep. Hit the nail on the head.

The spectator / stats bug was supposedly fixed in the latest patch 3369. From the patch notes:

- Fixed stats tracking when a player switches between a spectator and active player (or vice-versa)

Stats have always been buggy since the first UT so getting weird results or not having them update at all is nothing new really.

Ahh, but I have rolled back to 3339 to try and alleviate some of the lag. It has not helped much though.

What to do when you have a problem? Throw hardware at it! (Throwing)

Ah, I see. If you're running 3339 again then obviously that was indeed the cause of the stats issue the OP is suffering as the bug is still present in that version. I don't think you'll get much/any improvement from going back to an older version as 3369 has been a pretty solid release from everything I've seen with none of the CPU overload/lag issues that 3355 suffered from.

I see from your comments that you're builiding a new server so there's probably no need to do this now but I would have suggested a complete wipe and reinstall of the DW server install to see if that helped out the lag issues you're having. I've seen on a first hand basis that starting over with a completely fresh install can do wonders for server lag/stability issues, especially for Windows servers.

I agree, but unfortunately the server is in Dallas, so it's not so easy to do.

I was not a big fan of the performance of the Opterons anyway. The server before this was an FX-57 and it would have eaten these current maps for lunch, and still been hungry.

When I get the Opteron server back, I'll either wipe it and roll it back out, or sell the parts off.
