No, I don't give a good god damn about my players. I care about the agents on my team and the time I've spent building this team around the players that perform better than others.

All this while you are screaming "Nothing to see here, move along" everytime an x-factor thread popped up instead of trying to fix the problem. I'm the one that has proven this shit, you are the one that came up with a million other excuses then you call me out for not wanting it fixed.

Taco Bell? I don't follow.

You had to be there, I guess.

We have liftoff....

I see your point, but would you rather this isn't fixed? There's nothing we can do at this point besides fix it.

Bort - why only height & weight? Did the error actually corrupt the players weight so that it would be reused by sim for the player's lifetime or was it only in transmittance and hence on a sim by sim basis?

DL24-> I recommend you take a break and think this through, because PT is right on the money and has a legion of forum followers who can verify the truth of his words (minus the understandably heated obscenities).

Only in GLB will people discourage the fixing of problems.

Tell that to the god damn owner of the game that claimed the reason for this happening when this evidence was presented to him was Taco Bell a fucking month ago you fucking piece of shit.

Taco Bell? I don't follow.

In a thread Bort said slow was fast because he was fed taco bell.

That stuff's pretty bad for you =\

I can't imagine the shitstorm of pissed off people once this gets "fixed" and their players start sucking and it derails entire teams.

Especially if it's the middle of this season.

They've been like this since creation.

So it's more complicated than just fixing it now.

Heard of health care reform?

Trust me I have done all sorts of stuff. I can literally ping for 5 hours straight and not drop a packet or run into an error. I have updated MTU's, database settings, timeout settings, etc. It only happens with certain servers accessing certain tables, while other servers (such as the web servers) accessing the tables have no problems whatsoever. I have even swapped out hardware and switches on the machines having problems.

Anyway, mostly, the update I'm doing is more of a sanity check for the code that should be in place anyway, but we figured I might as well post that I'm updating the sim code since it's possible it will have an effect on velocity if there's corrupted weight data coming in.

I hate to tell you but a simple Ping test isn't going to tell you anything. The Data gram size is too small, so you could ping someone on a 14.4 dial up for hours and hours on end without dropping a packet.

The only way your going to know is run and extended ping, crank the data gram size and point it at the port your upload is going too.

Yeah it still looks like Bort is still just guessing with this change and has only placed a safety net in. We shall see if it changes anything but I bet there will be a bunch of clowns claiming their player was nerfed after a bad game tomorrow.

It'd be an in-memory error. Ht/wt are never written by the sim to the database. Only read. So if we got some bad data, it wouldn't be transmitted back to the DB and you'd never know about it.

TBH, there's not a lot of ways to test it. It just makes sense to put in some sanity checks for supposed limits to head off potential issues. Kinda like how SA's give diminishing returns above 10, since I hadn't originally intended for them to get up to 18-20.
