Please Kick All Spectators before battle start!

[Frankysan]

please admins or dev be sure the spec team is empty, the lag is ruining this!

[Earthdforce]

Dude come on, the spectators don't make that much of a difference. There were 120 soldiers in that last fight, it would have lagged with or without us. If all spectators were kicked, there would be no strategus videos also.

[Frankysan]

i still think for ppl with low end pcs this would help, just 5ms maybe can help with low framerate. But imo having 50 specs makes some more difference... Still the pro/contro suggests kick !

[Polobow]

I thought spectators didn't lag. They are not sending commands to the server?

[Earthdforce]

If you're worried about it being unfair, there's no reason. Even if specators do lag a server (which I doubt), they would lag for everyone.

[Lako]

Yes, it would be great. Lags are really ruining all this game.

On the ordinary EU1 battle server (50x50 battles) I have no problems and ping around 85-100. Here I ve 120-150 and REAL problems. Even events with 150 players were less lagging. Specs are the real evil.

No we're worried about it being unplayable!

Are the EU servers on a box like NA? If so it might just be every single player playing on it

Have no idea.

I can just doing right slash.
If spectators though little bit load a server that them it is necessary to delete.

They are sending less signals than a player, but they still send signals. How much depends on the netcode, which we don't know.

They are also taxing the outbound capacity of the server.

The performance for the players is most important always. If we want Strategus movies, have those people ask an admin for special spectator access.

In the first battle, Fallen versus Dashbigha, my ping went from 110 to 70 after spectators were kicked.

[dodnet]

I had almost no lag all the time.. so dont blame the spectators. Blame your slow PC

There are many factors that affect your ping, so this is invalid.

[witchkunold]

yeah! We must tell them to leave. If they not, kick them or ban! So much spectators its additional load on the server

True, but spectators are one factor and probably the only one we can affect.
