You may have noticed than Diamond is running slower than normal (Platinum will as well after restart), I will explain the reason of this in this thread.
Last days, after new year, servers have been crashing too often, Diamond specially have suffered 3 crashes in 3 days, now crashes are expected and almost always fixable, but the last crashes have been due to a really difficult problem to find; memory corruption. The fix to this issue may be easy but finding it is almost impossible without the assistance of external tools, servers are now running in a special enviroment that will help to find the origin of the memory corruption so I can fix it, sadly this enviroment also makes everything run slower (the average slowdown of the instrumented program is ~2x) this was the best tool I could find and with the least impact in performance, other tools have an even worse slowdown:
Sadly I will have to run servers in this enviroment till I can find the reason of the corruption (I need it to crash in order to find the problem lol).
I hope you can understand and sorry for the inconveniences.
