I worship the ground you walk on if you managed to fix this bug...

HOLY SHIT, I AM ADDING THIS IN NOW LOL!

I knew it had to be something like that that was causing the bug. Hopefully this resolves the issue for good. This is one of the biggest issues I have had on my server during peak times. With this resolved, I know quite a few players that will be ecstatic lol!

If this actually works to resolve this bug, the entire community owes you a huge thanks lol! And this should get added into the source as soon as it is verified to work.

This is going into TGC with its next reboot, thank you

I can't promise that this fix will be the proverbial silver bullet, particularly for servers with dozens of players (versus my maximum of two), but I am fairly confident that it should at least help a little.

Typically, when the problem that I was having occurred, the debug zone log would fill with messages about duplicate OP_Packet and OP_Fragment with repeating sequence numbers (it still does, but at least now the server is taking some kind of action). The client debug log would indicate that it requested status for X and that it never came.

You are amazing if this fixes the issue!

This code has been on my server for 4 days so far and not a single report of the "lag bug" since. I don't even think I have had to reboot it since I put this code in and normally I do every 2 days or so.

Looks like this one is probably good to be added to the source ASAP. Interested to hear if other servers running this have seen similar results.

I'll add it in the next few days if no one's experienced any issues by then.

Just wanted to mention that 2 of my players that have had this bug chronically have just posted saying that they haven't seen it happen a single time since this code was added about a week ago.

This one definitely needs to be added in the next release! It is a verified fix as far as I am concerned. Still have not had a single player report this bug since I added this on my server.
