i still get 5 to 10 seconds after someone hosts for there game to appear. they host with a snooper and it says it is hosting, then it appears 5 to 10 seconds after that message... probably because there loading the game up? |
Volcadmin came into #Help on WormNET today when doing some work to it, and I -distracted him- got chatting to him. I thought the following information was really useful, so I thought I'd post it here. Bear in mind the conversation was brief because he was busy, so I've assumed one or two things:
A while ago, you'll remember there was some awful lags that made WormNet unusable. Every time a player joined, left, or hit refresh, everybody got a new version of the game list. This meant that every second it could be calculating the game list for about 50 people, so the server quickly ground to a halt. (ProSnooper also quieries the game list a few extra times in addition to this, but the hit on the server is less severe)
Now, the same thing happens, but people only look at a cached version of the list, which is far far less of a server hit that generating a new list each time. The game list itself only updates every 15 seconds, so it doesn't matter how often you hit refresh, you're not going to see a difference until it's updated. Therefore, you should expect to wait at most 15 seconds for a game to appear on the list. |
