Can someone explain me technically why does the explosion lags a whole server?
I was troll'in a little, and i found a map with a explosion button, so i tough: "I will flood this to see how much my fps goes down".

And when i pressed tab, all the players got kicked by high pings (not my server, other player's one), can someone explain me that?

I'm assuming that the amount of resources and power required to draw the graphical effects of an explosion in great numbers are great

I'm assuming evident sarcasm is evident.

Probably, the server didn't have much resources so it f*cked up. Home PC server-hosting ftw?

yeah.. rendering a huge load of explosions at the same time is slow. obviously.

the server itself doesn't render any graphics (if it's a dedicated one).

so it was either a non-dedicated, crappy home server, or the clients have been kicked because of their own low FPS.

explosions can also cause much traffic if there is much stuff in their range which is damaged. but I don't think that this was the reason for those kicks.
