Autosaave laggidge.

I have noticed on the Regrowth and AG2 servers autosaves are... overzealous. Every 10-15 minutes there is one. I think this is overkill. One per hour is probably much more reasonable and could save the servers a lot of CPU time and RAM.

Honestly, its more annoying cumulatively to deal with a lag spike every 10-15 minutes than it is to potentially lose an hour of rollback time if something horrible happens to my stuff. (And honestly, in the month or so I have been playing on Regrowth, I have seen only one rollback/regen of an area.)

Sorry if I sound like I'm complaining, I am just trying to give good feedback to make the game more enjoyable for players.

 

That assumes people are on 24/7 though. Right now, the lag is such that its really only playable for progression for a few hours a night on off-peak times. (I get an average tps of 11 these days). With the fact that that particular server is nearly almost always laggy, (from my perspective, at least), this means that every 10 minutes I have ~45 seconds of unplayability, which if I am playing for two hours, takes away 10 minutes of play time by itself.
Of another note is that I have been seeing mass waves of time outs about 1 in 3 autosaves, which means a disconnect/reconnect and then lag while cache reloads for all those players.

 

wow your ping is insane then, because at max my lag from it is about 3 seconds long, soooo.... take that into account, and i rarely get kicked from timeouts

 

I get timed out occasional, but not often, compared to how long I actually am on the server. But I will agree that even though Ag Skies 2 is just into beta and still has some stability issues, I feel that 5 minutes between auto saves is a bit excessive. I feel 15 minutes, even 10 minutes on the low side would be better.

I made a post about this in the support section earlier today because I didn't realize this was here. Open - Auto Save Frequency | MineYourMind Community
