Now on new server hardware.

More expensive as a result, but much more powerful.

Please let me know of any positive/negative comments.

Cheers

Well i can say i played from 7:30pm till 5am and there wasn't even the smallest amount of lagging or glitching at all.

Nice Broons!

I have to add that my lag was none existant and im in Aus so thank you so much Broonie! hardly any block lag or anything!

But im still having that connection issue! The first and 2nd time i connect seem to be ok, but when ever i travel through portals or books thats when it really dislikes me. I have tried everything to reboot ting my router everytime, even changeing from static ip and vice versa. Really strange :/ Im assuming its direwolf or server settings as im ok on the other FTB servers etc that i have tested so far. (none matching to the amount of fun as CFUK i shall note lol

i get the feeling its a direct issue with DW pack, as we didn't get this issue in the previous version, and i really hate to say it, but might be worth risking an update without a world reset?

Is it a major patch, or a minor one?

well it does go from 1.1.1 to 1.2.1 but from the change log the only BIG change is in witchery, but not all the things are mentioned since the cofh team apparently don't like changelogs

The only other thing is we might not see the issues on start-up when the upgrade happens, but rather see them when you guys are playing. Then we're asking if it's a bug in 1.2.1 or a bug due to the upgrade.

It's "another" map wipe yeah, but would it be worth waiting another version or so?

Is this one beta or a stable release btw?

in my opinion, theres never been a modpack that isn't "beta", as for stable i'm not sure yet. I'm happy to wait myself, but other people are suffering issues far worse than myself.

we can always do a test run, save all current files/world/etc and then try and upgrade it, any issues we just roll back and deal with it till a much more stable and better version comes out and enough people agree its time to upgrade?

Open a poll Piggles, and set it to UserID based voting.

We can have a review in week or so's time on what everyone wants

well atm the server is lag central for me at least; not sure why, especially considering there was only another person than me on. Was the version before 1.1.1 not more stable ?

this same sort of lag also happened on the previous version, but completely went away with a reboot.

Just to give an idea in cpu-time difference:

direwolf 6451:44 java
vanilla 93:17.27 java

Hmmm - I'm getting crashed out of DW within a minute or two of activity with a "fatal error". I can't see anything obvious in the console, but I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking for

Here is my Console Log of the entire boot-up form start to finish, up to when it crashed.

I had not long logged in, then had to hid in a rather large Raspberry bush from a creeper. I picked one bunch of berries by right-clicking and then when I right-clicked another bush, it crashed me out.

I'd already set the mipmap level to zero (Options > Video Settings > Mipmap Levels [for those that cont find it] - don't try dragging the bar, just click in the far left of the box and wait for the game to crash for a sec, and then the bar will move).

I've just tried all of Draze's suggestions from his advice in this post and I still suffered a fatal error after about 30 seconds of being logged in (all I did was right click a few more berries and then got a fatal error again). Also, the game was VERY laggy for the first 10 seconds, then it started to smooth out until it was "normal" - just before I was kicked again. No-one else was on the server at the time and I was somewhere near the spawn point.

just so i'm sure, is the fatal error a client crash or just the error you get when it disconnects you from the server?

Version 1.2.1 also updates the COFH mods I think, and it appears to improve the graphics-related crashes.

I first had trouble logging in it would start to load mojang screen yhen instead of starting it vanished .I found it was the texure pack, if in default it would load perhaps some issues could be related

Piggles - the "Fatal error" I was getting was the message I got on screen after it crashed me out of the server. I can still go back to the server menu and log back in again as the game is still running.

This is the same message as I get Soul_UK along with Connection Timed Out occasionally

i get the feeling that error is down to mod blocks not loading in time for some reason and forcing you out, a quick re-login should allow the blocks to load before the chunks are unloaded again, this is only a guess mind, altough a high ping might also cuase this issue.

and on a side note the 1.2.1 update is now recommended so i shall be starting a poll shortly to gather some views.

if we do update will we try keeping the map as-is ? At the end of the day if it doesn't behave we could always reset the map after the fact

After some reasearch and server testing, it seems we need to set the level-type to BIOMESOP in the server.properties file to generate all of the new biomes; the next update would be a convenient time to do this.

As per the poll for the next update, the comunity decided on a live update attempt to see if we can keep the map.

It is possible it could corrupt due to some of the bugs but it's a 50/50 shot at this point. DW has been mostly coded to allow updates without wipes but as you all know *griefers* happens when dealing with so many mods.

Server updated, but I'll be honest, not that much looks to have changed.

theres been changes in the mods/config, not much else

but the console is spewing out lots and lots of errors about entity tracking, so i'd recommend map wipe.

what sort of entitys are they? could using a command that kills all active mobs cure it? or is this tile based ones?
