The lag has become really bad for me lately, to the point that I just give up and log out.
[ul]
[li]Frequent timeout and lag when trying to switch weapons/tools. I couldn’t even complete dailies today. Try to flip to heal chip and then can’t execute, can’t switch back, can’t shoot. Dying a lot since for some reason mobs can still hit you when you’re too lagged to hit them (I wonder how much money MA makes on this).[/li][li]Auction has become almost unusable. Insane loading times for any category/search/sort.[/li][li]Driving is an exercise in frustration - vehicle constantly rubber-banding and flipping from the snap-back.[/li][li]Viewing storage terminal inventory takes anywhere from 30-60s to load.[/li][li]Even just viewing HOF takes 30-60s to load.[/li][/ul]
I’m on gigabit synchronous fiber with a fairly beefy machine.
Typical time is in the morning CET. I would be connecting to whatever server serves central Europe. I am mostly on ARIS if that makes a difference.
How many weeks now without a server restart? :scratch:
Just let them enjoy the 3 months summer vacations.
No lag here playing at Arkadia but in 5k ped cycle +/- I have lost 700 PED just this session (86% tt returns?). I would be amazed if the game survive until the next year.
Lag is everywhere … it is really out of control indeed …
On arrival from space to Caly it really takes minutes before all that “f…” vegetation is loaded and the same where ever you use a TP … makes me hardly move nowadays.
Hello thank you for contacting us.
We apologize for the discomfort during your session.
We recommend to reduce the connection bandwidth for the gameclient to 56k/s
You can do this adjustment from the TOOLS section. Available left from the LAUNCH button in the client loader.
Even if your local connection speed is high, this adjustment could help to solve the problem.
Once the problem is solved you can rise the bandwidth in steps again.
We hope that this adjustment solves the problem you have at the moment.
Please contact us again if you need further assistance.
I was on for a bit about three hours ago. My PC is not beefy and I use mobile internet and had no issues. But it seems a lot of people are having problems with Aris?
I wonder if this is ping related. The last 2 weeks I was playing tethered to my mobile phone and the lag was terrible as stated by the OP. This week I am on a stable Wi-Fi connection witha ping of 12. The lag on AH, hunting and weapon changing is much improved. I still have lag when entering a planet or TPing on a planet.
Maybe we should all take a 3 month annual summer break, Swedish style, then we lose the frustration, and MA lose the ped instead of us and f they do at least some work during summer, we might even get bug fixes instead of more vegetation cluttering the servers. Just a thought
You can have a million $ pc and internet connection, at the end of the day its mindark and its systems doesn’t recognise anything above average computer, they still operate in 1995.
The lag around Port Atlantis is very bad and worse since they put all that forest in. I’ve not found it to be too bad elsewhere on caly but I don’t spend much time there anyway. I’ve had rubberbanding on ARIS and ARIS Space station usually after getting to to a place via TP or arriving on the SS from space. It also takes a few seconds for stuff to render in and moving then is likely to result in rubberbanding and erattic movement.
This is not just an annoyance it is a serious issue for the game as a whole, player retention is vital, older players know it could be better, know that if you (MA) removed unnecessary clutter it would help, stop adding waterfalls, , etc. But more important for the future of the game, your wages or if all AI, then your shareholder profits, we need to retain new players, having the new player areas on Caly etc looking like a poor rendition of something from the 1980s is not gong to make this game a keeper.
