Very Long Scan Times...

Post by BJRubino »

I have noticed that CP scans are taking a lot of time to complete...they range from 15 min to just under 3 hrs. Any idea what is going on? It seems random; I can do a scan and have it complete in a few minutes (normal) and then the next one can take an hour or more.

3 hours? Yeah, something very wrong there. I have seen them take 20ish mins on a mature high pop realm where CP has to walk the trees for lvl 70s, but should never take 3 hours. Can you turn verbose on when you see it taking a very long time and see if something is repeating over and over?

At peak time on Mal'ganis horde (which is very high pop and often queued), I've seen it take 30ish minutes before (with nearly 3k players being censused.) That's the most I've ever seen, though.

Sorry for such a long delay in replying here. I checked, it doesn't look like it is doing anything over and over. It just seems to stall out for long periods at a time. I completely whiped out WoW and reinstalled with all my addons (including CP 4.1.7). I still have scans that take 53 minutes, but it is only seeing 1000 players or less.

Any other ideas?

I have also noticed the crazy long running census. I play on a medium to low pop server Khaz Modan and pre expansion the census took 10 mins tops. I just stopped one at 50minutes.

Hmm, I haven't had this issue at all... mine are still taking about the same 25-35 mins at peak times as they always have (catching 2500-3200 players at peak time.)

Part of it is probably the fact that it's having to break down each level 60-80 by class to catch everyone, instead of only having to break down level 80. At least that's how it is on Mal'Ganis and Whisperwind, anyway.

Did you folks try disabling all your addons other than censusplus and see if you see the same lengthy census behavior?

I have been meaning to log into this server during prime time to see if I could see what was going on.
