Gproxy by h3rmit

[Jamo]

Tbh, now I fear this will result in numerous problems like late pushes, no build for levels, no send on levels, no king up, no king control, no heal(!) etc... 20sec is really long time in LTD. And 5% of games, imo is not nothing. Althought it sounds great at first, I am quite sceptical about this right now.

@hazardous , how fast is it possible to undo this change? I would still want to try it, but if it leads to missing sends, I would like to be able to reverse it quickly.

[HazarDous]

It would take 30 seconds.

[dweiler]

@hazardous , Okay, as far as I am concerned you can implement it.

To member of LIHL, write down your experience with the new implementation here, so we can evaluate it.

[HazarDous]

Implemented on ENT27 and ENT28.

[Jamo]

So, this works automatically now for everyone using Gproxy h3rmit? Or for everyone? Do I have to update anything?

[Diablo_]

Works if you use GProxy (DLL).

You have nothing to do. If everyone uses GProxy DLL, in-game delay will be reduced, and no lag screen will appear.

[dweiler]

I am curious, did anyone see this working in LIHL already? I still get lag screens from players, but maybe I have only seen people who do not have GProxy DLL. Btw @Hazardous, does everyone in the game need to have gproxy dll for this to work?

[Diablo_]

The more use it the better it works ^.^

[HazarDous]

Sorry for not following up with this, been a bit busy.

Restarted LIHL bots now. Reduced delay was not effective thus far but now it should be. Let me know if you notice reduced delay and/or any other issue.

The more use it the better it works ^.^

Correct.

Today I played a game, I had a huge lag on lvl 5 and 6. The lag screen didn't show up I guess, cuz when i stopped lagging, it was beggining of lvl 7. Don't need to say it fucked my whole game, do I ? I could not build, send or up king if we needed to.

@HazarDous

With the update we only have 60 seconds to reconnect to the game using gproxy (maybe only with the old or only with the new one, cannot say).
Please set the timer to 3 minutes again.

E.g. here: https://entgaming.net/findstats.php?id=8692007

@Diablo_

That's with the old one.

I believe the better solution is to encourage users to switch to Gproxy DLL. Setting it back to 3 minutes will increase delay again for players.

Up to you though.

[Diablo_]

Reconnection time should definitely have priority, so yes, set it to 3 minutes please.

Are you sure it even increases delay? Doesn't sound very logical to me ^.^
If you are sure ... would the change to 3 minutes also increase the delay if all players are using the new gproxy or only if old gproxy users are in the game?

[HazarDous]

How it works is the following. Bot sends empty packets to all normal gproxy users in order to reconnect them when they lag. By reducing the normal GProxy reconnection time, the bot sends 1/3 of the empty packets it used to send to all players and thus reduces delay.

Now whether it is a noticable reduce in delay, I can't tell. Every GProxy DLL user has 5 minutes to reconnect at the moment, normal GProxy users have 1 minute. If you want to change it back to 3, I will do it.
