Popular Post Nutter 13,947 Posted February 6 Popular Post Share Posted February 6 Dear Members of the Garnet Gaming community, We understand that recently, our gaming servers have experienced some challenges due to host-related issues caused by DDoS attacks and general changes by said host without our consent. This has led to many crashes and unsatisfactory performance, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this situation has caused. On the contrary, we are happy to announce that we have acted proactively upon this situation and decided to switch to a new provider that is dedicated to providing a secure and stable gaming environment for you all. This change will greatly improve the overall quality of our servers and eliminate the issues that we have been facing for these past 3-4 days. Furthermore, we should also see some better server performance as all our machines are being upgraded to more recent hardware that can withhold higher populations. Myself and @Proggy have spent an obscene amount of hours (working until 5:30AM in instances like today) to ensure this change goes smoothly. As of right now, the scheduling of our migration to the new hosting service is looking like so: Rust > 2nd week of February 2023 Garry's Mod > 2nd week of February 2023 OR SOONER SQL databases > 3rd week of February 2023 OR SOONER Web Hosting > 4th week of February 2023 OR SOONER We appreciate your patience and understanding during this transition, and please make sure to stay tuned to any IP changes coming up this following week! Best regards, Garnet! 17 1 1 Quote Link to comment
PraetorDon 417 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Will the host still be located in the midwest, or are you planning to move to a different data hub, i.e. Chicago? If this is a security concern, feel free to delete my post. Quote Link to comment

If this is a security concern, feel free to delete my post. Our host was never located in the midwest, the new building is very close in proximity to the current from my understanding.

Not sure if sarcastic or not, but your hitreg on MRP is about as good as GMod can get on a 50+ player server. We literally cannot be competed against in that caliber.

Oh, I consider that whole column of states from Texas to North Dakota the Midwest. Grew up in Kansas so that might be why. Central South makes more sense. Quote Link to comment

With the new host and machine, we are able to push for higher tickrates. Quote Link to comment

It was indeed a host issue, we had outdated hardware that our host refused to upgrade for 3 years, and that became accompanied by network instabilities. A big portion of hitreg involves how optimized a server is, but a large portion is also dependent on server hardware and networking to result in lower ping. take a look at mrp today and tell me how you feel Quote Link to comment
