Yeah I understand why it was done, it seemed like (to me, my opinion) that it would be more of a temporary fix to reduce lag issues.

However I know you guys have no control over it (you do a good job with the tools you have), lead dev would be able to fix it/modify it which graal doesn't have

The tools we have were made by us to try to make up for the lack of control we have. It's the best we can do.

Excuse my GS2 ignorance, but couldn't you make it so specific players ignore the render distance, or are set to a higher one?

The entire point of my post is that we don't have control over it. We set the render distance, that's it.

It probably won't be until spring before a new lead dev can fix the underlying architecture issues.

tfffffff

I can relate and understand, trust me. You guys do a great job with what you have and a lot of people don't get that nor appreciate it.

Stefan was looking into fixing it before he left but it wasn't looking very hopeful. Players in the same area sends an exponential amount of data to be sent. He said he was looking into a way to group data into large packets, but that his change would have a margin of error where sometimes players couldn't see other players.

As Jerret said it will be a while before anything is addressed, bottom-level wise.

Yeah I don't expect big architecture/priority bugs to be fixed on graal for another year. Not any of the admins fault at all.

The amount of players in the level controls how far ahead the client will see other players. More players, less render distance.
