Bug #: 752
Summary: sv_timelimit forces server settings updates to occur
too frequently
Classification: Unclassified
Product: Odamex
Version: 0.5
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Server & Client
AssignedTo: odamex-bug-reporter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReportedBy: grandpachuck187@xxxxxxxxx
When a server has sv_timelimit set, it calculates the number of tics left until
the time limit expires and sets sv_timeleft to this value at an interval of
once a second. Updating sv_timeleft forces the server to send all clients all
of the server settings (roughly 1000 bytes, depending on the individual
server).
As a result of the way the server handles packet acknowledgement, the packet
containing the server settings is often resent to the client multiple times
before the server finally receives acknowledgement of receipt. The duplicate
packets of server settings can come to dominate the client's bandwidth,
preempting the positional updates of other players and other unreliable
messages.
