[SOLVED] XonStats seems to enlarge waiting time ??

hi peepZ

here I.m back again with a little problem ... =P

In the last weeks me and other players noticed a long waiting time from endmatch till the votescreen appears ...

I.ve done some testing of the Servers ( Duel Server & DM Server ) and had some strange effects.

- When I enable XonStats by set "g_playerstats_uri" "http://stats.xonotic.org/stats/submit" it takes nearly 1-2 min till the stats are written and the votescreen for next map appears ...

- When I disable Xonstats by set "g_playerstats_uri" "" it only takes 15 seconds from endmatch till votescreen

The server console tells me nothing from endmatch till stats are written.

Maybe anybody can help?

Su, how long does it take you to ping the XonStat server? I am wondering if this is a network problem, since you are quite literally on the other side of the world from the stats server. Still though, it certainly should not take over a minute to do a submission. It shouldn't take more than 10s! If you could post a ping or traceroute, that would help.

Ping:

Seems okay

From this point it looks fine - but it need time for my server to get a feedback from your stats server.
Maybe something wrong on my server config? -I.m a bit puzzled

new facts ...

after comment out:

//sv_weaponstats_file http://www.xonotic.org/weaponbalance/

the waiting time between endmatch and map-votescreen now reduced to 10 sec ...

Problem solved

ps. has lasted long for clueless me

Thanks for following up, Su. That's really strange though - it must be doing something else with that file besides GET-ing it:

[~ 11:22]$ time curl http://www.xonotic.org/weaponbalance/ &> /dev/null
