BIS Forums Getting Slow?

[PogMoThoin 10]

Obviously we'll monitor the situation and take steps where necessary if things don't improve, seems a bit better this morning :)

Not that much, its gone from a painful 60-120 seconds per page yesterday evening (I'm in Ireland) to a usable 20 seconds this morning, but its still way too slow. Its gonna turn newcomers away

Indeed, it seems back to normal for me this morning.

We rebooted the server and are checking into some other potential causes :)

stupid servers and them requiring humans to restart them. We need some robopuppy servers that take care of themselves.

Seems slower now than it was this morning, and it's not just because of my workplace's network (slower than that usually makes it even). :(

Yeah it slowed down, around the time the 1.07 patch came out, but know it seems to be almost back to it's usual speed.

Can someone please feed the hamsters

It seems the hamsters had more than they could chew with the 1.07 patch though

Seems like it got slightly slower for me, takes around 5 to 6 seconds to load a page.

It's nothing serious.. ;)

[MadMike-Brig2010- 10]

Same issue for me... :(

Strange thing, though, is that on my PC at work in the same city with OS XP speed is absolutely ok (even with f...n surf protection); only at home with Win 7 its laggy as hell...

10 sec for a page, normal would be 2-3 secs. :P

Plz dont let it die before the OA patch is out! ;)

*posts before the page has even finished loading*

Its got slower again :(

*waits 30secs for refresh after posting*

[Royal-Killer 10]

It is kind slow and sometimes i have to hit the "Load page again" button on chrome.

Its not Windows 7 that's causing this, its not like XP is the best operating system, at college we have a 10mb/s transfer speed, every page loads in an instant, you tube videos load in like 5 seconds completely but loading the BIS forums still takes around 30 seconds Its getting a bit boring now to read threads because I have to wait so long for it to load BIS should do something about this, they have enough money to be prepared for this even before the launch of the patch and OA...

EDIT: I would understand if other companies don't really care about their forums but for BIS the forums are the main thing that sells their games and brings the community together which is almost as fun as playing the game it self. But then again lag has always been there with BIS :biggrin: I remember playing OFP when it came out @10 FPS, good old days :smile:

?Forum == slow : goto "play OA"

Sorry, but SQS format is deprecated. Can you rewrite it in SQF? :rolleyes:

Also, OA is undefined on this client. :p

:(

[Placebo 29]

We've apparently identified the problem and it should be improved in a few hours :)

You forgot a semicolon somewhere didn't you? Admit it... :rolleyes:

:(

if(forum == slow) then {Process.Start("arma2OA.exe", "C:\OA") if(!pathfound) then {Check Steam for Release Date}; };

Or what other people do

while{forum==slow} do {cry};

[Big Dawg KS 6]

while{forum==slow} do {cry};

More like:

while{forum == slow}do{cry; spawn {while{forum == slow}do{crysomemore}};

I know how pain in the ass it is to have a high traffic website running so iam curious. What is/was the problem in your case? Webserver? Database? Network?
