Lag & Out-Of-Date-ness

A big source engine update broke alot of sourcemods (even gmod10!) today - we just gotta way until espeon runs an update on the source engine servers

Ah, ok, cool. I love Gmod 9 (in some ways more than Gmod 10), and sometimes I play on your RP server, despite no one being there most of the time.

Do you guys think that you could maybe fix the lag and bring the Gmod9 servers up to 9.0.4c?

The only difference between versions c and b are a few fixes that have been already applied to the server a long time ago. So the server is at the latest version. I've tried to fix the lag and haven't been able to figure out why it does that, I will try to update Sourcemod and see if it helps any.

and I'd love to be able to play on the Role-Play server without jittering back and forth as I move about.

This is actually a nice "feature" of the new Orangebox engine. If the server is empty for more than 6 hours, the server lags until the map is changed or restarted. I will see if I can put a script to restart it when its empty for a while.

I just updated the main dedicated server files since the update last night broke the servers, so you should be able to connect to them again.

This is so true. Gmod 9 has a much better spawn menu and physics gun in my opinion, the only thing (and its quite a big thing) that is better in gmod 10 is the modding community and LUA capabilities allowing really awesome gamemodes to be made.

I have installed a plugin to fix the lag issues after the servers are empty for a while. I am still trying to fix the lag that happens when people join, it seems to be something with Sourcemod, but I can't track down where exactly this happens at the moment.
