Darn you VMWare

Filed under: Uncategorized — SirGolan @ 11:00 pm

So, I’ve been tracking down a “bug” in MV3D where the PC’s movement on the client is at a completely different speed than on the server. I’ve seen the bug for quite some time now, and it makes moving around in game relatively hard and annoying. I just ran a test that printed something every time the physics was calculated. It should have happened 20x per second. According to the logfile (which records the seconds in addition to my printout), it was run 20x per second. Unfortunately, 1 second on the virtual machine it was running on lasted about 10 real seconds. No wonder it was screwed up.

Now, I’ve done a lot of work with VMWare and bitch-slapping its time keeping abilities into submission, but I’ve never seen it quite this bad. It seems I just may not be able to run a MV3D simulation server on a virtual machine. It could also be that VMWare doesn’t like my CPU very much as time sync issues come up a lot with it and dual core CPUs. Anyway, not a big deal. I don’t have to run the server on a vm. Just what’s annoying is that I lost a day or so of time to fixing the “bug”.

However, in trying to track it down, I did fix the problem with the sim server eating up all the CPU time. So, I guess it wasn’t totally unproductive.
