Hi all,

Hi, could you post your hardware specifications of your server?

Wow those are pretty darn good servers. Not sure what the issue is, hope a dev can chip in.

I do get those lines occasionally, but not as frequently as Synergi does.

I have the EX4, which only has half of the memory, 16GB instead of 32GB and it runs fine so far on my end.

I noticed the same thing. After about 6 hours or so the server starts reporting that snapshot error then my players start complaining that the ping is inconsistant. It varies up and down during play sometimes dramatically. After a server reboot she's good to go for another 6 hours until this starts agian.

I get this a lot on our servers, but it does not lag them. Have you got performance mode set in the power options? It sometimes helps, not always.

Would be good to know how many slots you are running. If you are running more than say... 18 on that, then you may experience lag late game. Remember its only 3.4GHz at the end of the day. Not to put the server down at all, as for the price, its very good.

I assume these are standard NS2 servers with no mods? Stats will increase CPU load quite a lot. Siege 20 Player late game uses around 95% of a 4.6GHz CPU. Combat 24 player about 70%. Normal NS2 with stats, 20 player late game is around 80%, without stats around 70%.
