Elira Pendora Opens Day 1 of District V2 GTA V Roleplay Fighting Crashes and Lag

NIJISANJI — Elira Pendora, a NIJISANJI EN streamer in the LazuLight group, began the first day of the #DistrictV2 Grand Theft Auto V roleplay server with a long stretch of technical trouble. Streaming under the title “this is Via Vale, #442 going 10-41,” she spent a good part of the broadcast waiting for the server to come back and chasing down performance problems on her own PC.

She opened the stream flustered by how much she had to keep track of, saying she needed a fourth monitor and was “so overwhelmed.” She described the work of a doctor on the server as hands-on, checking bandages and injuries and dragging items around, and said that the previous season had been easy by comparison, if stressful because so many people were downed. “I’m so nervous, but I’m excited,” she said, adding that she was “just a shy girl.”

“Every damn time in this freaking game, I have to restart my whole damn PC?” — Elira Pendora, while troubleshooting lag

Getting into the game was the harder part. She showed off the server’s new loading screen, which she said Vox had made, with animated EMS artwork, and said her own loading was crawling. Later she told viewers the server had crashed for her and for many others, that only a small number of players seemed to be in, and that FiveM, the multiplayer platform the server runs on, had at one point tried to connect her to a different roleplay server, Canada RP. Her Steam friends list, she said, was full of people repeatedly trying to launch the game, and the server announced a restart.

Once inside, she fought lag. She wondered aloud whether Chrome and the live chat were eating her memory, closed the chat on her screen to test it, and noted that it helped a little. She then weighed restarting her whole computer, said she would be right back, and went offline briefly before resuming.

Chat stayed upbeat throughout, sending encouragement at the start and joking that she could sacrifice them if that was what it took to fix the lag. In a later stretch, the stream picked up a police department roll call in which detectives, officers and cadets introduced themselves by call sign, and chat greeted it with laughter.
