is CB slowing down? (in General)
AdminShade
June 5 2009 1:26 AM EDT
for the past few days I have noticed CB being more slow than it used to be, pressing enter while fighting especially.
When clicking fight, it sometimes also slows down but not that much.
Is it CB or is it me? I've checked all my connections to CB and it doesn't seem on my end...

CB is the only site I am having slow-downs on too.
It cleared up briefly today, but I am getting it again.
Ask Jon to look at the average load page for the past few days and compare it to a week ago or so.
it has been sluggish for me over the last 24 hours sporadically. jon ordered a new server i believe due to some issues with the other one. i haven't heard any news on it being installed yet though so maybe that is the issue?

Its 2012 for CB guys.

"is CB slowing down?"
Yes.
Most notably in the number of multiple fight errors/fines I've been receiving.
Give it time, it will pass eventually.

It might have something to do with the latest change, but yes defiantly slower load rates.
Lord Bob
June 5 2009 3:09 AM EDT
"It might have something to do with the latest change,"
No. It has been happening for a few weeks now.
Daz
June 5 2009 3:22 AM EDT
Yeah, I asked about this in the recent change thread because I noticed it in a big way immediately after that.
QBOddBird
June 5 2009 4:01 AM EDT
Yeah, the sluggishness because noticeable to me after this most recent big change. It's pretty slow.
It was slow for me for a while even before the change. Right now, my botchecks only load when i right click > show image. Then typing it in, i have to reload my forge page cause it will never load. >.<
Lord Bob
June 5 2009 4:47 AM EDT
"Most notably in the number of multiple fight errors/fines I've been receiving."
Yep, there's another one.
Ditto to that. More fines/errors, and slower load times. Also, it seems as though I sometimes can't click enter to fight...
it always has been slow for me, almost half the weeks i play i time out while going higher/lower in opponents list
I've had multiple issues with CB lately, including everything you guys have noted and more. Bad load screens, basic non-quicklink pages, Train By errors, & inability to switch characters without logging out and back in again. I have already done all the basic things told to me by admins, techies and professional IT's. I have noticed that when NS says he finished working on something it gets better.

I have noticed random page loads lagging out and almost every bot check lags out also. This started about 2-3 days ago for me.
I dont have this problem with any other site so i came to the conclusion that it was this site.
j'bob
June 5 2009 9:50 AM EDT
I was just thinking this myself. I noticed it for sure yesterday and just brushed it off. Same today.
Click... (long pause)... fight / results.
*sigh* Another suspension.
AdminShade
June 5 2009 12:27 PM EDT
still problems here, as well as at work...
Rawr
June 5 2009 12:43 PM EDT
I"m getting slow too. It has become quite the nuisance...
QBJohnnywas
June 5 2009 1:11 PM EDT
I'm not seeing it running slowly. If anything it feels faster than normal....
AdminShade
June 5 2009 1:40 PM EDT
<Shade> Fex: have a solution or estimated the problem yet?
<Verifex> not yet, from what I can tell, it's a bandwidth issue on the colocation side hopefully not a server problem
chuck1234
June 5 2009 6:17 PM EDT
was slow since you guys reported the problem, but now its back to almost normal, its not absolutely blazing fast as before, but its faster than the slow crawl since a few days.

"Didn't I say it's not polite to fight more than one battle at a time? You'll have to wait about 10 minutes now for fight to be reenabled."
No, you didn't, but okay.
Lord Bob
June 6 2009 5:22 PM EDT
"No, you didn't, but okay."
I got one last night. I don't think things are solved yet, though I will note I haven't been hit with one today yet.
I'd be less miffed about it if it wasn't the most condescending message in the bloody game.
Burton
June 6 2009 5:31 PM EDT
Absolutely, and it is rather annoying.
Phrede

I am having the same issue
Mikel
June 6 2009 5:38 PM EDT
Seems much better to me today than it has been.
Gandalf
June 6 2009 5:39 PM EDT
I'm with JW, no slow down at all as of late.
"Didn't I say it's not polite to fight more than one battle at a time? You'll have to wait about 10 minutes now for fight to be reenabled."
I usually I get this here and there, but yesterday I had this happen like 5 times.
CB was really slow for me this morning but it's much faster now.
Got another 10 minute suspension, and failed botcheck.
Another 10 minute suspension. CB is the only site that's this slow. It's incredibly slow.
Mikel
June 7 2009 1:57 AM EDT
And I spoke too soon as well, now it was slow again.
Revs
June 7 2009 2:00 AM EDT
Yeah, I'm having a tough time today with CB as well.
AdminShade
June 7 2009 6:56 AM EDT
it seem like out of 5 every fights or actions at least 1 is taking more than the usual amount of time to get through.
Clicking fight after have pressed enter to fight usually helps speed up things, though continuous clicking fight slows down also.
Can we have a word from above as to what this might be caused by?
kronopolous
June 7 2009 11:27 AM EDT
I completely ditto what shade said with the clicking fight thing. I find every fifth one or so is a stalled load.
Wasp
June 7 2009 11:34 AM EDT
Shade has it spot on. It's driving me crazy. It's taking ages to burn ba. Missed a few hundred the other day. Missed another couple hundred during exp time. : /
Cube
June 7 2009 11:42 AM EDT
Idea: Maybe it has to do with random drops being calculated?
There are probably ways that could be fixed.
Sickone
June 7 2009 12:18 PM EDT
The slowdowns started way before this latest change...
Another 10 minute suspension, and a failed botcheck. .. Man.
Cube
June 7 2009 4:31 PM EDT
I haven't been fighting- simply noticed this was posted two days after the change. My bad.
AdminShade
June 7 2009 5:50 PM EDT
The slowdown happened before the recent item spawning change...
According to Verifex there is something wrong with the path all our connections take towards CB server, there is something clogged which hinders our speedy connections.
In other words, in between our highway and the one from CB server, there is a small back road which is really slow... (according to fex)
Cube
June 7 2009 6:19 PM EDT
In windows
Run => cmd
tracert carnageblender.com
Mine seemed fine, but I haven't noticed a slowdown.
Burton
June 7 2009 7:30 PM EDT
I am wondering how long this will last for. Because it is getting to the point where it is really bothering me.
Yea, it was slow before the recent random drops change. But I was wondering, maybe Jon was testing stuff out for the change before he put it into effect.
*****WORK AROUND FOR FORGERS*****
Works for me at least.
When CB hangs for a while and won't load your forge action, goto Business > Forge to reload the page, and it should load right away. Even if you did multiple actions while it was hanging, it will load those added actions as well. While still quite annoying, it helps make it go quicker [instead of waiting for the hang time] and so you dont miss some botchecks here and there.
Sickone
June 7 2009 8:59 PM EDT
Just a small "thing" about the internet : the path you see in a traceroute is the path from YOU to the server... the reverse path (from the server to you) COULD be different.
Cube
June 7 2009 11:20 PM EDT
'Yea, it was slow before the recent random drops change. But I was wondering, maybe Jon was testing stuff out for the change before he put it into effect.'
I was thinking that too. Hopefully, he can confirm or deny that.
Is there anyone here not experiencing a slowdown at all?
Also, I could be wrong, but many people in this thread are from Europe right?

Demigod
June 8 2009 7:42 AM EDT
I'm back to fast.
AdminShade
June 8 2009 10:23 AM EDT
I'm going worse now...
It's back to normal, still doesn't make up for the 10+ 10 minute suspensions and failed bot checks I received the last couple of days.
hzarb
June 8 2009 10:28 AM EDT
Still very irregular response at my end. Overall slow though..
I often have to hit the fight button twice or thrice to actually fight anyone. Been happening since the start of last week.
Revs
June 8 2009 1:18 PM EDT
Worse today. And I'm noticing that the sidebar is taking an extra second to track with the main window fight as well.
Soul Eater
June 8 2009 1:54 PM EDT
I agree it does seem to be a little slower than usual.

And it's much worse today.

Florida here,
I have yet to get a 10 minute time out, however, when it is slow I do not do anything for 1 minute.
But it is very slow at times.
AdminShade
June 8 2009 3:32 PM EDT
has been a bit faster for me now, but every 5th fight or action still takes too much time (i.e. twice the time / a second load)

I'm getting more and more pop-ups from CB that says "error, could not connect to CB at this time." Never have I experienced this before.
This is NOT COOL. Every other fight is lagging now.

Demigod

I just went through 100 BA and had 96 go super-fast, with the remaining 4 lagging.
In other words, it seems normal here in GA, USA.
The speed I'm getting is horrible at the moment.
Jen-Nay

My speed is terrible and it keeps telling me that "CB has timed out"
-Whatever that means
Lord Bob
June 9 2009 11:18 AM EDT
Just got another 10 minute suspension, AND somehow failed a bot check during that suspension. During XP time. Bloody great.
The 10 minute ban feature needs to be temporarily removed, or at least its severity lessened, while this issue remains.
QBJohnnywas
June 9 2009 11:25 AM EDT
It's really weird, I'm reading this thread and, as I've already said, I'm not seeing any slowdown. And it really does seem faster than normal for me.

fluctuates often, was fast for me just now, burned through 144 BA in about 5 minutes forging just now. Earlier this morning took me about 15 minutes for 160 BA.
BHT
June 9 2009 10:52 PM EDT
Didn't I say it's not polite to fight more than one battle at a time? You'll have to wait about 10 minutes now for fight to be reenabled.
(Multiple suspensions will result in longer penalties.)
THIRD one TODAY. This needs to get fixed and quick. I can't imagine people playing on dial-up. I don't understand why it's so slow and laggy, what was the major change that caused this? Did Jon downgrade?
Conan
June 10 2009 3:06 AM EDT
Today is more slow than yesterday ... really annoying
before (maybe in CB1) it was possible to see the CPU load of the server, still exist in a page or jon has removed it ?
QBJohnnywas
June 10 2009 3:07 AM EDT
I'm still seeing absolutely no slowdown.
I'm jealous of you JW. I just tried to load into this page and timed out. After taking almost fifteen minutes to burn 99 BA.
CB is getting slower on us. Methinks Jon should of put in that button where he sells us the CBD and we pay him the USD. Faster new server.

Do we get BA on the odd ten minute marks (10,30,50) now?
# Time is Wed Jun 10 12:10:48 EDT 2009 -- This is when I got the BA from 12. I thought it was even lots of ten (00,20,40) that we got it?
BA is about 7 to 8 minutes slow, I don't know why. I don't remember it being like that when I joined CB.

Burton: everyone has then, it's not 10 minutes late, it's just shifted 10 minutes ;)
Also, CB is running smoothly for me as well :)
well i am still seeing interrupted connections and general lag. ; (
I am having multiple issues with CB I have posted this in a few different threads already. Slow downs are only ONE of them :/
Lag is at it's worst tonight...
AdminShade
June 13 2009 5:44 AM EDT
I think they fixed the highway between all / most of us and CB server :)
it does seem very responsive now. hopefully all issues are corrected!
Slowed down heavily again tonight. Lost connection to the server a few times, had fights take a full minute to load and even had a broken bot-check image link.
