Does “throw errors” mean lag the forum, or does it just mean visual glitches

I’ve just remembered that the first time we ran Triple Threat here, literally everyone in the game died and nobody won.

Throw errors means that something isn’t working properly and it’s going to be logged
I think the cause is stack overflow and that’s why small amounts doesn’t crash the server but I’m a complete newbie

can you ELI5?

I have no idea why, tbh. It’s not like I’m an expert or something.

When you have a function using up too much memory so it starts overflowing itself and throwing data out and ignoring it.

(I still have no idea what this means)

okay but like does that only cause visual glitches

BD vs Cult vs Unseen

It’s the name of our multiball setup.

Stack overflow? Generally crashes the entire server if it’s bad enough.
Otherwise it lags out a lot.

Oh, okay.

Triple Threat 2 was…

interesting to say the least.

Of course if the server is lagging and can’t process data there are going to be visual errors most of the time.

I think it’s the only game we hosted here to date where literally every player died and the game had to be declared a no contest.

i was a big advocater for Cult killer class after the game.

It was so bad being a knight converted into a invoker

Do you see how sometimes the forums doesn’t automatically update messages some of the time and they come all at once?
I think that’s stack overflow but not bad enough to crash the entire server however bad enough that the server can’t keep up with the data and instead processes it late.

Making the server lagging is exactly what I notice very strongly on my low performance phone

if it does that then why did Marluxion keep using it wut

Most commonly when programming it’s caused because

Function A uses Function B, which in turn uses Function C, which in turn uses function A
So it’s an infinite process and the data can’t keep up
At this point I think it’s just that the functions are receiving too much data it can’t process it all; or it’s just a UNF-8 error
