Bandwidth Intentional Limitation

Can I ask why you intentionally limited my bandwidth while using my login user? If I go incognito mode and search for zero-k the speed that I browse zero-k.info is normal. While logged in it takes 10 seconds to load a page.

It seems that some people don't really like me here...even if they don't tell it.
Just tell me if it's necessary for me to ask for an account deletion since the devs in this game never wore friendly to me from the start until now.

More like zero-k.info being a typical lag&&bug shit... with typical lag&&bug shit issues

For example it regularly signs me off my account and today I had to sign in yet AGAIN and it literally took more than a minute to load after I did :\

Everything lags - game itself, server(thx Canada!), website now too(after signing in it works mostly fast though, but user page refresh is still painfully slow - must be lots of uncached heavy sql)...

Honestly I stopped playing zk because it turned into a painful slideshow to me with a turning point being a very high ping(up to 600ms+ to see unit respond) that Canada server brought in, before I could tolerate unconditional FPS drop(to 2-3 in heavy games) but now coupled with high ping it just pure torture...
What is more infuriating is that I have decent(not TOP notch but still decent given how "fast" cpu progress is nowdays) hardware - i7 2600k stock, gtx 1060, 32gb ram, ssd

More data is processed and transferred to render the page with user data when logged in. It would take some software engineering to "target" you for slow page loads, so it's hard to believe that would be the case.

We didn't.

For all those years they still haven't made a proper https:// support when loading root page(https://zero-k.info/)
Though it's been asked and reported many times - tells a lot about developers...(facepalm icon goes here)


There's only one file that's missing https support on the front page, which is causing that warning. It's because of the unit icon image in the manual section on the right (the same problem happens on the wiki, e.g. https://zero-k.info/mediawiki/index.php?title=Glaive). Those icons are served from http://manual.zero-k.info which doesn't handle https, which is unfortunate, but that's not the same as not supporting https at all.

There's no such distinct entity as "developers", only people who've stepped up and spent time to work on the site. If it bugs you, you're empowered to submit a fix and everybody would be very happy to remove one item from the todo list!

So this thing is a bug and nothing especially directed towards me? Good to hear...having to many bad thoughts lately and sorry for the misunderstanding.

Wanted to do some recording videos but the webpages move to slow for me to search properly.

Comparing singleplayer to multiplayer games isn't really fair.

Why did you thought that devs would limit your bandwidth? There was already thread with this issue. I also experienced this problem for several days. DErankXivender reported this as well.

Someone with admin powers needs to upload all those images to the wiki and bulk-change the links to point there. The entire subdomain manual.zero-k.info then needs to be removed so as not to confuse people. This isn't a fix someone can submit. The best we can do as regular users is transfer those images to the wiki one by one and change links one page at a time. Very tedious even for someone who has the time and patience.

Developing infra without a test environment is impossible. I've attempted it, and all I could do is build and not test it.

As system adminstrator i could provide some resources (small vps) for site sandbox, but then i checked site headers:
< Server: Microsoft-IIS/8.0
< X-AspNetMvc-Version: 5.2
< X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319
< X-Powered-By: ASP.NET

website at win host with asp.net - nothing to do here.... =(

It's not aspnet for a while, but IIS likes to do IIS.

You can check the sources, rather than just headers :P

It's just the combination of a sql heavy site and a fairly slow server / storage setup.

Is the server really a Xeon E3 1245v2?
Can we not use something a bit less shit?
Given that you can get significantly faster machines for about the same as we pay now...

e.g. https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax61-nvme
Ryzen™ 9 3900
128GB Ram
2x 2 x 1.92 TB NVMe SSD

I personally would donate if we can decide to make our own server.
