I don’t know about Varnish, but having worked on other implementations, you would usually have a timeout on the initial lock (semaphore) to prevent a slow connection from impacting all clients. But this is much, much harder to do once you

No current iGPU or dedicated GPU (e.g. NVENC on NVIDIA[1]) support AV1 encoding today - talking about CPU support is odd. Encoders like SVT-AV1 are software-only. [1]: https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu

No, I down-voted each of you because your comments are anecdotal at best and don’t add to the discussion at all. Saying the game doesn’t appear to be “competently programmed” is analogous to the “coded badly” that gets thrown around, not ta
