Major Lag as of 1.3 even without Plugins

EDIT: it gotter better! the new problem: the lags i now get are periodic. every 50 seconds or so everything will stop moving for about 6 seconds and then catch up super fast. is this problem known?

Since I upgraded to the new recommended builds my server is unplayable. I thought it had something to do with the plugins not working right but after deactivating them all one by one my server now runs wothout any but still with the same lag as before
My console:

Code:

21:12:55 [WARNING] Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded?
21:13:41 [WARNING] Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded?
21:14:28 [WARNING] Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded?

21:17:36 [WARNING] Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded?
21:18:23 [WARNING] Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded?

Changing back to an 1.2-RB there are no messages and no lag
here is my shell:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
screen -dmS minecraft /usr/bin/java -server -Xmx2G -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4 -Xincgc -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalPacin$

I can't supply you with the system specs atm, sorry, but i hope the comparison between 1-2 (works) and 1-3 (lags) is enough

Anybody that can help?
So long, Cap K

 

Cap K Can you show your server log without any plugins enabled?

Edit: It might one of your shell arguments, I do remember there was something that needed to be removed since 1.3 but I don't remember which.

followed by the message posted above every one or two minutes
thanks for the answer, though!

 

We don't support servers running in offline mode.
Stop supporting piracy.

 

It is a private server and the offline mode is for camera purposes only so that one of us can log in with two clients to film the building process. Be assured we are not tricking Mojang out of their money

 

Jolly good.

Out of curiousity, how is CB build #2326 ? Does that cause lag issues for you?

--> The same. Why did you ask?

Could anybody paste their starting script for 1.3 so I can compare?

 

im on windows tho

Code:

@ECHO OFF
SET BINDIR=%~dp0
CD /D "%BINDIR%"
"%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx6G -jar craftbukkit-1.3.1-R1.0.jar
PAUSE

 

Can you post your system specs please? And a list of plugins if applicable.

 

no plugins are active as said in the op.
the specs should not be relevant as i can play lag free with the rb for 1.2 but here we go:

Code:

Linux
java version "1.7.0_03"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.1.1pre) (7~u3-2.1.1~pre1-1ubuntu3)
OpenJDK Client VM (build 22.0-b10, mixed mode, sharing)

• AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 240e Processor
• MSI 880GMA-E45 Mainboard
• 12 GB RAM, 4 of those on the Minecraft virtual machine

Thanks for caring. (mind posting your startscript?)

 

You shouldn't be using IcedTea - change to Oracle/Sun Java 6/7

 

your java is out of date, it should be _05, which linux are you running, ie ubuntu 12.04, cent os?

I also cant find the amd processor you have in their listings, is it 64bit? if so is the os 64bit?

Code:

#!/bin/sh
 
# what to run
folder="/data"
files="lbm"
mc1="cb.jar"
mc2="minecraft_server.jar"
 
cd $folder/$files
 
java -server -Xmx2G -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -jar $folder/$files/$mc1 nogui

here is my start up shell file. i use this with 64 bit java on ubuntu 12.04 64bit. I do not use screen but you should be able to figure out how to do that since you use it.

oracle is not in most linux repos so we use openjava because it is, there should not be any problem using openjava icedtea with minecraft, i have been using it for months with no trouble at all on ubuntu.

nice. i used your xx-options and its running better now. the lags i now get are periodic. every 50 seconds or so everything will stop moving for about 6 seconds and then catch up super fast. is this problem known?

Aaaand thats it. This worked and it seems i have to wait for a build that does not have this problem. thanks everyone!

Nothing wrong with CB - You should find a repository that has oracle/sun java.

 

i use oracle on ubuntu and it works just fine. just do a manual install,its not that hard

 

That's great, if you wish to go to the trouble to manually install oracle java on your system more power to you, I was responding to andrewpo, who was saying that openjava/icedtea was bad and not to use it. I referred to openjava being part of most linux repos and that it is quite simple to install using any of the repo methods for linux's different varieties. Installing oracle may not be that hard, but it is inconvenient and not necessary mainly because openjava works just fine.
