TOPIC: [FOR STAFF] What makes zarp so laggy ?

Weila ragga ! how is it going , merry xmas to yall , i've been wondering , i started playing on zarp since 2 or 3 years ago and the ping is the same , everytime the server ping is waaay more than it should be
What makes zarp so laggy ? Why can't we solve this problem to give players a better experience

Alot of factors conclude Zarp's lagginess, first of all the amount of content, the huge amount of players and of course the unstability of Garry's mod's engine as the source engine is like 9 years old and it was created for 6v6 HL2 deathmatches and not 90 player roleplay servers.

True that , but why other RP servers are not as laggy as ZARP ?

Maybe you should pay for better internet. I live in the USA and overall the server is not that laggy for me.

I will be honest I used to complain about zarp lagging all the time it really bothered me, but now I have a good pc and good internet I don't experience that much lag even at peak times.

I know a guy that complains the tickrate 24/7, but it doesn't lag 60% most of the time (atleast for me).

@EMP
Zarp lagg is as unpredictable as EMP's releases and Chutes trolls.

Everytime they are different things causing it.

Personally i use to have so many issues on S3 with server lagg but now i do not, however S1 has now became extremely laggy and sometimes unplayable for me.


Gmod as stated above is unstable, like mix3rz map exports, and i crash a crap tone now.

With gmod it is just how the game is, sometimes fine and sometimes crap.
