For help, type "help" or "?" 2013-01-23 23:28:08 [WARNING] Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded? My Run Batch File: Code: java -Xms5G -Xmx10G -jar craftbukkit.jar -o true I really don't know what to do. The server is a fresh install and worked fine for about 12 hours. Then did a reset and all hell broke loose. "The server did not save anything.... Who would of thought you had to turn on AutoSave in the Bukkit.yml" So all I did was change Autosave to 1?? That was the last thing I remember doing. So I changed it back to 0 and still get [WARNING] Can't keep up! Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded? after 30 seconds of server being on. I have tried to Sync the clock and that did nothing... Any ideas??? Thanks for your time.
What internet provider do you have? And the [WARNING] Cant keep up! Did the system change, or is the server overloaded? error is harmless, everyone gets this and there currently is no way to fix this.
I don't know what ISP I have. It is at a data center. I know the message is harmless but the server lags. When I break a block.... mobs move in slow motion.... everything lags. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Looked trough many possible fixes.... none have helped. Does anyone see anything wrong with the server start log I posted? Or my run.bat I posted? Anything..... really sucks to have a great dedicated server and not able to use it. EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
The only problem for lag would be your internet upload speed is to slow. One of the best internet services to use would be Comcast. They have an AMAZING upload speed and it would reduce lag tremendously on your server. Lag always comes back to your internet provider
Its.. a data center, its using Level 3 communications as its ISP, and the upload speed I would die for as well as the download, those speeds are more than enough to run a minecraft server. Try essentials and see if it still lags in game. Also you do know in order to stop the server and save the worlds you type /stop and not just close the console window..
I will try to turn off essentials and I will use /stop next time. Did not know that. Thanks for the info. I'm stuck at work. I will try that as soon as I get home. Thanks for the reply. Took of essentials and issue persist. Any other ideas? I know there is a lot of people on here that know this. Please keep the ideas coming. Anyone??? Or should I just remove bukkit? EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
Take off all your plugins and see if it still happens. Always do /stop, I would suggest to never do /reload.
Ya..... all plugins are off. Plugin folded empty. Still lagging in game. Anyone??? How can Minecraft Lag on this setup. There has to be an issue. All the specs are posted up top. Please can I get some help here. EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.
Backup your world & delete the world that bukkit is newly generatoring for nether & end & otherworld because there might be an chunk error or somthing like that
