Memory Hole?
Well if you play on DW and you have played with me you know I love being in the tower in Tricky. I have observed a problem though, as I am sure others have. The server seems to become increasingly laggy as the game is played. Now when the match first starts it is not like that. I don't think this is really "lag," I am thinking there is some sort of memory hole in the mod that gives the vehicle jump abilities. I could be wrong about this, but I was wondering if we could run the map without the mod, just as a test. I know nothing about mods so I don't know if this is feasible. It would suck if this caused the problem though, because that mod really makes the map more interesting.
I believe that the Tricky map is one made from Epic, and as far as the ability for vehicles to jump in the air. Thats a part of that map, not a seperate server mod. I have noticed that it does slow down (server) as the map progresses, but if anything, I think it is the latest server patch or the 3369 patch that is the cause. If this is true, I don't believe theres nothing we can do about it and we will have to wait until Epic issues a new patch and hopefully it will address this. You may want to contact Epic and if enough people can get in touch with them, maybe it will speed up the response to getting it solved.

The tricky map is EXTREMELY tough on the vid card. It's the only map I actually have trouble with (6800 Ultra).
My guess is it's a combination of both. Yes, the longer maps go on, the more they drain off the CPU, so probably toward the end, you're seeing a little bit of lag. combined with very low framerates. Those two together = not fun.
