Well if you got a 60 cycle gun and its not cycleing at 60 because of the lag id say they are, just not as much as us. Weird dmg lag which is annoying me though like these random hits from like no where. No mobs about that what you call lag
 
This comes as a relief to hear that everyone is getting this. I thought it was just me because I am currently living in Nigeria and I thought my internet was the issue. I even upgraded to a faster service but it has not helped. I thought something was up because I can Skype fine on the new connection but I am getting all the same lag issues that others are describing, come on MA sort it out.

There's a decent chance the issue isn't on MA's end per se, but some issue in the connection between you and them.

Check this out, can't get any better than this:



I had been telling "It's a problem with your connection" to people with lag problems for years. But this time it's for real. My connection is still flawless, stable 50ms ping to MA servers, no packet drops, and for the first time I see lots of "failed" and "item is busy", the chat lags sometimes for 3+ minutes - for everyone in the chat, and it takes minutes to open auction or an item's info. It's not like that all the time, but when it comes, it's unbearable.

I haven't been back in game that long from a couple months break. What I can see so far is the lag is horrible - WTF???!!! I thought they have done like 3 or 4 (or more) stress tests and did things to make improvements and upgraded the servers. Now I'm getting CHAT LAG of all things a lot lately. That was always the one thing that never lagged. I'm getting FAIL a lot - and other long pauses for things.

Please improve this $hit. I come back after playing another MMO and my impression is... this is the garbage I've been missing? Feels like a hunk of junk at times.

Sorry to say I think what Is going on is that MA is selling off the platform as a new type of hosting service. Doesn't make sense for them to sell the platform to another company to use so they came up with a new idea to host it for others who want to buy it which in return is cutting into our enjoyment.

Then again they could be turning on Compets for the first time. What ever it is these last few months have been kind of crazy with no word from MA OTHER than them telling us all about other projects they are working on that really has no relations to EU.

Edit: To get other companies in on this deal what most likely is going on as well is that MA has put the preview version of the platform on the main server and moved EU to the old systems.

So with this post I ask: MA PLEASE POST SOMETHING.

Am on a 200 mbps fibre connection (both up and down at 200 mbps), and I have tested and know that it actually exceeds 200 mbps when am doing multiple torrents.

I suspect it's the inter server connection which is screwed (as in the server which runs auction, server which routes chat, loot, etc).

Either those servers are overloaded, or they have problems within the server farm itself.

Thats why you may see stable connection to the login server, but the rest may be fubarred on occasion and we can't check properly from our end where the error is from.

That's what I meant. Purely MA's internal problem that doesn't have anything to do with our connections.

MA's problem for the lat 10 years that I am aware of.

My problem for coming back and putting up with it.
 
It happened few times in past after some VU's and was fixed with paches.
But this time we didnt have any VU and imediagte lag after it just progres with time to worse.
Well patience, MA will fix it somehow.

But you know im always wrong and i lie because is not "server problem" ect.
On this forum gowern law, lot teory, cycle teory and other "you are wrong and just whinig" rules.
Let refresh one of rules - if you kill a mob and is no looter that do not mean that your return is 0.
You must cycle and loose 20k USD to earn right to say that return is 0.

So ppl - if lag is just few days that mean you didnt lag "cycle" enought.
Also if you dont have some kind of spreadsheet with acurate data for few years you dont have any right to whine about "bad loot" ops i mean about lag.
Best evidence of laging or non laging would be acurate data i spreadsheet of opalo laging to prove that eco laging is fine and dont forget to include evidence that is not "server problem".

I am afraid you guys will have to wait another 5 years before they will buy stronger servers. The ones they bought in 2010 have to survive at least 10 years minimum.
 
I don't really understand some people's strange hypotheticals (opaloman) that are going way out there on a limb to come up with some conclusion as to why there are issues.

Occams razor people. This is a busy time of the year and the servers aren't able to support all the load. Lest we forget all the chat channels etc which are quite the server burden. One would think they would get stronger servers but sometimes server capabilities aren't always the root problem. My client and server software days can tell you that you cannot fix all problems with better hardware. It is mindark's benefit to improve performance. The ability to play equals more turnover. Simple as that. They aren't trying to steal your peds or mow your cat or give you a reach around while you sleep in the awkward way (shame really). Take the tin foil hat off and think simply.
 
Just calm down, they're still adjusting new servers

All true but you need to remember that this started a few weeks before migration where some were even joking about when migration did come the server(s) would choke. So in a way MA has done something right since we haven't gotten to that point but there is something odd going on here. Remember we did get David CEO of Mindark to come out of hiding to say all is fine and well with links to the casino (which was modded).

(and no, I like my tin foil hat thank you -- kind of what really makes this game fun)

To the point about pre-migration. I'm aware and because it happens every night, I suspect they have maintenance jobs that are impacting the servers. It's not uncommon but I would expect them to fix it.
 
thanks for viewing and the responses so far. I wanted to call some attention to it in hopes MA notices that we are unhappy.... for what it's worth.
 
I think MA have gone away on holiday :dance::shots::dj::dance:

Ok yes that makes since now..that's why the CEO of Mindark made that post last week about nothing relating to game :)

Maybe we can get him to reply to this since he has nothing else to do right about now. Kim? Can you get him on the line again?

:yup:
 
for the love of god... the lag.

Please fix the god damn lag and random disconnects... and optimize your damn game engine.. I mean honestly for f**ks sake.. people have real money in this game, instead of dealing with stupid pet apps and introducing more random webshop bs for us to spend money on how about you get the game fixed and running so we can play instead of being kicked off or lagged to death every 15 minutes... You want more revenue? Let us burn more peds per hour by not having to deal with lag, disconnects, and crashes due to bad memory leaks.

Regardless of this game's vastness, complexity, or ever-changing nature, the core gameplay needs to always be the first priority. We cannot spend money if we cannot log on and stay logged on. That is all. :wtg:
 
/mod note/ merged 3 threads on same issue

From the looks of things, they successfully created a web based game within the game that isn't affected by lag that many have spent thousands of dollars on trying to loot a precious ring or two, so why should they care what the user experience is in the game as long as people keep spending big money opening boxes :laugh:

Well this morning I have tries to get online for over half an hour with no luck - twice the game loaded with immediate disconnects, this is becoming very frustrating, please MA sort this out.
 
I gave up yesterday after 2 or 3 disconnects and just started playing Dota 2.

It has been almost ONE MONTH since I made this thread. I have seen devs reply on other threads, but not this one which in my eyes is the most critical one (I just can't play sometimes).

Whatever.
 
Is still around? I gave up after trying to team hunt or do something for few weeks in a row and always dc/ctd mad lag in team and on and on
Been playing ARK Survival, cool game :)
 
Game performance is horrible right now. Shouldn't even happen.
 
Don't forget to mention the disconnects!
Please do something already!
 
Currently i'm sitting, an argonaut is pounding away at my armor, my gun is on auto-tool use, is not firing, the lag won't let me log off, i can't fight back, bring on the decay...

Round 2: Death from lag, easy 2-3 ped decay bill from lag, hops in quad to fly back, game crashes mid-flight, I fall to my death, wait to log back in after 1 minute.

Round 3: Back at revive, don't heal up (to save peds), don't fly (for fear of crashing and losing more ped in oil to lag, walk my happy as back to hunting ground.... (You've lost your connection with Entropia Universe)..............................................................................................:banghead:
 
Won item lost in lag

Won an auction yesterday, but the item never turned up. Checked and re-checked the auction tabs, and the item list on my account page confirms that the item is not hiding anywhere in a corner of my inventory or storage.

Support ... here I come.
