What is it that really makes an OT works smooth?

[bury]

Hello!

Since more than one year im hosting a tibia open server. I've been managing day after day on it, and Ive never had any lag. It's hosted in OVH, good prices and from my point of view very good pvt hostings.

I use to make "tracerts" and "pings in X time" everyday from Windows cmd and the results couldn't be better, between 40 to 60 ms always. The hosting has 16 GB RAM, SSDs, E3 1250v2, 3,4Ghz x 4 cores and
8 threads, Protection DDos and good internet connection that characterizes the OVH company. OS: Linux, debian.

However of all of this, I've felt smoother playing in other OTS.... with more ping!. I used to play one before doing my ot, where I have 110 ms of ping, obiously their server might be located farther than OVH one.... How can be this?

I repeat; I dont feel lag in my server but I feel another one smoother. What are my feelings? Above all, the fps. I feel more frames per second in other servers. I cant calculate it with fraps because it says there are 200+ frames, I dont know how to understand this. Moreover, it seems the server is hosted in my house. Instead of having 110+ ping, I feel to have 20ms as much. I through MW, SD etc faster, I move faster and the other players look faster too.

My question is, If my server has that powerful hardware and I have 40 of ping, What is missing to have that smooth?

PS: Obiously I dont have any error/bug and my glovalevent scripts are normal. Saves every 15, map cleaning every 30 or 1h, cant remember now.... normal stuff

It could be something related to the FPS or the client you're using. Are you using tibia client or OTClient?
In case of tibia client, you can press Alt + F8 when ingame to display your ping and FPS. Check that. If using OTClient, check if Dash Walking is turned on, that can cause differences in walking. I also noticed gameplay on normal characters is smoother than on GOD characters because GODs have maximum movement speed and somehow it makes it feel less smoother even if you're not lagging.

Thanks @Shadowsong

In both cases is tibia client 8.6. Checking the fps, fraps is right. My fps are between 180 and 210 lol. In graphics I have 1920x1080 dirext9 resolution and the limit in framerate in 60. But it doesnt stop in 60, I dont know why. Anyway, I've checked the ot where I feel more smooth and its 180fps too. With alt+F8 I only can see the fps, not the ping.

I can't imagine anything else than latency lag. Else this would be impossible and you're just imagining it.

how long have u had this problem?
if i were you i would try using a different version of tfs and see what happens. is the server located in france? where do you live?

 

[bury]

Well, I dont see it like a problem because I see myself fast in my own server, but I feel myself faster in masiyah for example. Im using the 0,4 rev. Yep, its located in Paris I think, and Im from Spain. If you want to give a try my server is: www.newmalvera.net // I didnt say it before because I dont want to make spam..... when you have finished the try I can edit my message

Do you also guys, have sooo much fps like me? 180~200+? I will try enabling my nvidia vsync config, to limite in 60. dunno

It could be optimizations the other server has, or latency. It's obviously not client-sided, but server-sided.

For example (to elaborate on Fallen's point), I moved my own server from TFS 0.3.7 to TFS 1.0 and I've noticed a substantial difference in "smoothness." Everything works in a more fluid manner and it is evident to myself and almost all of my players.

the server is all good man. it runs smooth. the only problem i noticed is it lags when you attack something and i think it is a known bug of 0.4 rev. my server has it too. does rev 0.3.6 have this problem? can somebody tell me ?
