    Hello,

    I think (As many other people) that the "Auto save" is a little bit too frequent. And there is no need to auto save every 15/30 minutes. It's better to do that every hour or two. Also the Auto backup is not timed with the Auto. So what I mean is that if the Auto Save has ended, sometimes the backup gets started a minute or two later and the lagg kinda getting annoying.

    Server with the following problem:
    Agrarian Skies 3; (AG3)

    What I suggest:
    Add some delay to the auto save and match the autosave and the backup time.

    Greeds,
    Josh

    well i will disagree because if this get accepted then in one case there would be a crash and let say they will have to use a old backup so you would loss 1 hour of progress and i think players would not be happy about that

    > Hqm issues > Auto save every 15 minutes > Saves your progress incase backup is needed.
    :/

    There are too many times where HQM bugs out and causes the Admins to actually force a 'backup' of the server for a few minutes.

    Without Autosave being so frequent.. the backups probably would be 'for a few minutes' they would be hours of progress lost.

    Yeah, but there is no use of saving things every 15 minutes. It's better to add more time to make it more playable for people.

    It really is playable tho, although I do agree.. it does get annoying sometimes :/
    I think the situation is 50/50 really :(

    Indeed it is 50/50. But I think it's better to make the interval just a bit more instead the 15 minutes. Make it, for example, every 30/45 minutes instead.

    I dont actually think it is a 50/50 situation. What is more annoying, the server lagging for a few seconds whilst autosaving, or a server crash where you have to remake things you did 1 hour ago? Im happy that the autosave is there on AG, because it barely lags, takes a few seconds, and I can be sure that I wont lose 1 hour worth of progress.

    Haha :p, but still it can get annoying if you play for several hours straight.

    Btw, I do think its a good idea to match the autosave and backup time (if it is possible), because it actually is annoying when the server lags for 5-10 secs, and then after 30 secs it lags again because of backup.

    Let me say as someone who plays Agrarian alot. I think the autosaves are perfect how they are. I will admit that they are annoying when the two of them aren't in sinc but that doesn't happen very often. The reverse is you bust your but to get an "endgame" item and then there is a rollback deleting all your hard work and you have to do it all over again. But as far as the timing I think it should be left.

    We already changed it from 5 minutes to 15 minutes. If we change it from 15 to 30 or 60 minutes and the server crashes it will go to the last auto save. So if the server crashes before the next auto save you can loose 1 hour of work which is more annoying then a lag spike all 15 minutes.

    Alright,
    Thanks for replying to my thread. I think we have to deal with the lagg spikes every 15 minutes I guess.
