Ok ive noticed that most of the time when ppl play on the popular maps server, i will tend to be on it for 2 to 4 hrs in the evening, that alot of times the server lags really hard, like everyone's latency will go over 100, or ppl with nice low pings will start warping for no reason, or ppl will get weird lag spikes eventhough they haven't used their comp at all that day(sometimes ppl lag because they over use their graphics card during the day, its happened to me) my point being, whats causing the weird lags in the server, and why have the admins had to restart it a number of times? Also i wanna take the time to note that we should have a 500 ping limit, sometimes we get these players whose ping is like 200, but will go way up to like 800 and then down again, its annoying trying to ban them an nobody really cares. Also alot of times the lag happens its because theres a ton of high pingers.

That isn't the cause of lag.

what is that then?

The problem is likely some plugin/extension which is going crazy after a while. I haven't been able to isolate it yet.

High pingers do not give more lag to the servers they just have a delay in the data transfer so the data will reach seconds later to their CPU.

yeah, popular maps #2 has some lags
