holy fuck you trigger me so much by pointing and trying to fix something while you have no clue what you are talking about
IM is already using server-sided hit registration, a feature introduced in SA-MP 0.3z. Any server that has the "lagcomp on" rule in the rule list in your SA:MP browser is using it. "Sync-shooting" means nothing but server-sided hit registration (lag compensation on)
Again: You have a ping of 150ms (in my case), you have information of ~20 players in your area streaming in and out, you have information of ~300 objects in your area streaming in and out.
Client-sided hit registration is the glitchy old lag-shooting way before 0.3z (which also opens many ways for cheats)
If it was something I can fix easily, it would be fixed already. But there is no way to do that.
No offense intended: The biggest complainers are israelians/egyptians which have the worst situation, most of the time a ping of 300ms+, a poor and slow internet connection, packetloss and all these factors above. If you shoot your weapon, the server needs AT LEAST 300ms to register your shot. Now you have 2 players with 300ms ping each, shooting at eachother. Have you ever tried this in a game like CSGO? You will want to kill yourself.
The most important factor is the latency/ping of the both players to the server. (and of course that they don't cheat)
I already said it 97 times but here goes one more time: The server is currently hosted in Canada since so far it was the only reliable datacenter that was able to keep off DDoS attacks. SA-MP itself already has very poor protection and makes flooding/dos/ddos attacks easy. Aside from that come massive kinds of other DDoS attacks which need to be kept off too.
If you've been here for a while, you know how many times the server IP changed for exactly that reason. Everyone prefers a server with 0 hours of downtime per day rather than a server that goes offline every few hours due to DDoS attacks.
Spoiler: I'm trying a new datacenter again within the next few days in Germany, but don't keep your hopes high that it'll stay that way.
