Decided Against Too many Auto-Saves!?

Hi,
first of all u have a very good server and the mods are always friendly! Keep up the good work.

But i think there are way too many Auto-Saves. I have massive lags when it auto-saves or when monsters are removed. Removing monsters doesnt happen that much but auto-save does way to much. Less auto-saves would be great! Of course it would be annyoing if u played for 30mins or so and a bug makes ur work undone but how often will that happen? I guess not very often. I would happily take the risk for less lag due to auto-save. Maybe u could consider a longer intervall between auto-saves. Even double the time would half the lag

Hello sir,

Thank you for bringing you issues to our attention.


The auto-save feature is a fail-safe used to ensure that the server and your ingame property is protected from a crash.
if ever the server needs to be rolled back, the longer the difference between these saves the more play time is at risk of being lost.

I would advise you to post a poll right here, and inform your fellow players,
as we are a player driven network, if many people find the auto-save a nuisance, it is likely to be changed

 

the lag isn't being caused by the auto save, as it's so fast that it doesn't matter, and do you perfer the server crash and you lose 90% of the stuff you've made in the past 10 minutes or the server crash and you lose only 5 cheap items?

 

I think that when the server crashes us commonly doesn't use the save, I have experienced on crash landing the server was stuck in a crash loop and it just kept getting rolled back more and more.

 

i wouldnt mind losing my stuff i did in 10minutes....but if the lag isnt caused by auto save, what else could it be? i always have massive lag when the auto save message is shown. i rarely have any lag only if the auto save message is shown....i did assume it is because of that?! strange.... and annyoing

@bladeravingerm thanks but i guess i better do some more research first...would be pointless if it really isnt the auto save...

edit says: just ask at the server an other players have the problem too...ill add a poll if i can find out how

 

Ok, so im not just a moron as the server did confirm Added poll to the thread and i think 20mins should be fine...im not that afraid of crashes. Played alot heavy modded minecraft and never saw a crash....only once everything got deleded because the admins corupted the server that badly there was no other choice.... :S

Lets see what the rest thinks....

 

Added Potato option. Never forget the Potatoes.

 

Since most of the players at the Infinity server seem to doesnt care and that few that does are against it this thread can be closed...thanks anyway.
