Hey guys I am getting a banned message when I try to join your Superman server? I have played there for ever.

My most recent alias is MonsTeR*

Not sure what happened here? Maybe I was caught up in a subnet ban or something?

My IP 24.166.122.110

one lane,

I don't see that you're banned but I'll ask mindriot to dig deeper.

Sorry, my fault. I wrote some code to clean up the banlist to try to resolve the lag that occurs when /rcon addip is used. Had a bug in my code that incorrectly evaluated subnet bans. Fixed it, cleaned the banlist again, and restarted the server and B3. Should be fine now.

Clean up stats from my code. Redundant means repeated IPs or IPs that belonged to a subnet that was banned.

Original IP count: 3659
New IP count: 2128
Redundant IPs removed: 1531

I think osko might have been a victim of this. He is a good guy hate to see him not be able to play. Can you check it out mindriot?

Thanks guy's I can fly once again, appreciate the server and good times :)

The lag that I experiance seems to be more FPS related, not sure why though cause I have a decent card (GTX 260 896 MEG) could be my crappy 32 bit xp operating system. About to install windows 7 64 bit soon and hopefully it will smooth out then I can SLI 2 cards.

Thanks again for quick fix!

The lag I'm referring to lags everyone on the entire server until the /rcon addip command is completed.

Not sure about your lag. Superman is a taxing map and I think I heard it's because the newer cards don't handle the old OpenGL instructions used by Q3A efficiently. I could be totally off. =] My computer runs sub 20FPS at the map perimeter, which I think a 1GB 8600GTS should handle just fine. Regardless, Q3A never seemed to be designed to handle large open spaces due to a mixture of, among other things, Q3A gameplay and 1999 technology limits.

OK cool osko. Sorry I couldn't get back to you yesterday. When Zim text me I was finally getting to sit down and eat lunch. Then as soon as I was done I got another call...

One Lane...Installed Win 7 a couple of weeks ago and don't notice any improvement in UrT. I think it lags worse but may be my imagination or some Internet settings need to be adjusted for 7. I still mostly play on XP (dual boot). I've been getting lotsa lag on Superman and other players have mentioned the same.

Dolt would have told me that I could have put both responses in one email. : )

I am in the process of building a better puter, I bought a new one for my son and it runs vista, seems decent just had to make sure other users were logged off. Frames are steady locked at 100 for the most part.

Mine is pegged at 125 until I play super man then it dips a little, not much but when you are use to 125 frames that little dip to the 80's seems wierd. I always thought it was cause the video had to draw so much being you can see the whole map just about when looking across it.
