ENchantment (resized)

Here's a specific forum for discussing potential maps, maps that need a vacation and optimizations and modifications for better playability.

Got a good response so far but I am afraid this map lags alot esp around the 7 and 9 nodes,above. Goose logged he said it was so bad. I played it out but in the end i got disconnected on the next map.

Has this map changed recently?

It had minor lag problems (from a few player comments) but nothing too bad (I never noticed much).

If it hasn't been changed, does it need to be looked at?

Lagged horribly for me tonight... not sure if it was a map issue or connection issue... guess I'll find out the next time I play it.

I encountered little lag for me, however the map does eat my frames down to 5-15 fps (like half the maps on the server).

When we are defining lag, are we experiencing some jumps, packetloss, or memory usage?

Map has not been changed to my knowledge.

However, any low frames on it originally may have been exaggerated by some connection/router issues tonight. I was seeing similar symptoms in other servers too.

Brain, if you want to have a look at optimizing it, please do.

This map I played had totally differant node layout then I remembered. 7 and 9 were connected with a large tunnel underneath so some of the terrain was differant. I look thru everyones score sheet and did not see packet loss listed on anyones stats. I spawned at node 10 mostly and I did not notice much of anything. Pushing the levi with a manta above the middle nodes it reset so many times I ended up under the Levi then 10 feet from it.

EDIT: map name is Enchantment-T32-beta3-resize-K2

The map hasn't changed recently. As Karma said this was most probably a routing issue, as the map has never caused issues of this magnitude in the past (i.e. I've never had a problem with it - but I wasn't playing it the other night when these issues occurred).


That tunnels always been there joe (at least in that version).
