I've been here for a few weeks and the server has had lag issues as of lately. It'll get super laggy for everyone and it'll crash on an occasion and not come up and it's even gotten to the point that it's been down for around 24 hours.
Everytime these issues happen, the mods and admins say it's "Someone DDOSing the server!" but I just don't get it. I've been playing Gmod for years and I'm just not sure how a server can see a DDOS almost daily! It's even gotten bad enough that it has wiped the floor with the server the past few days??? Seriously? My old servers have NEVER seen a DDOS attack before and I was on them for 300 hours or so each! I've been on NCRP for about 36 hours now and I've seen a crash happen about 4 times and the server went dead twice in two days out of the approximate 3 weeks I've been on the server.
I just see it as a possible issue with the amount of people in the server because it seems to correlate. If there is more than 36 - 40 people in the server, the server starts to lag up a storm. It just nevers seems to be able to handle more than that. Sunday, this last weekend, I saw the server at it's max and it literally moved like molasses. The server had an near crash that wiped the server to below 40 people and then it suddenly ceased all lag.
Is it possible that the server isn't powerful enough to play with more than 40 players?
I just don't understand the amount of issues this server seems to suffer on the norm, it just seems nearly impossible that everyday is another DDOS attack. How can that even be true? Does NCRP have that many rival servers that they pay attention and lag out the server anytime it surpasses 36 players? When it goes up to 40 players is just when someone slacked to send in the DDOS? It all seems so confusing, but then again, I haven't ran a server before, so maybe I don't understand how often it happens. I'm just positive I've never experienced a server lag so hard entirely based on a "DDOS attack" on the daily.
Can I get a better explanation to the issue and a more laid out idea about the whole DDOS thing?
