Help: Fix the lag

wizz said:
so does the lag explain the -57% weekly globals?

MINUS 57%!!!!!

*edit*
BTW I dont experience lag atm. Been quite good for me for several days now.
But my loot does seem to also get that -57%!!

Please give me back my lag so I cant play!!

However, the total is now down to 1.5m PED (usually ~2m PED non-event).

There's no denying the lag is destroying the game for so many people. I literally spent 45 minutes on auction buying some (L) shit to burn through all the UA I have from refining pills, because each page takes 1min+ to load. I can hardly be arsed to hunt.

I'm sure it will bounce back when the lag goes, but that "when" doesn't look in sight considering every update MA releases about optimisation seemingly does nothing.

I was just checking entropialife.

All signs are red.
But the minus 57% is a lot!

That means the total value of huting globals is more than halved!
mining global value minus 15%
crafting value minus 28%!

And that has nothing to do with trolling. Just stating some facts :wise:

Just wonder how lag would affect crafting though :scratch2:
 
Tried again last night, same shit different day.

I was surprised by your comment because I was good last night (USA, Michigan, ~80Mb/s connection)

I tested today @ lunch at the Alpha/Old Alpha dog spawn = bad bad bad again

I feel that lag increases typically with more players online - the outlier was last night

I was wondering if it was just me @ CP, but I didn't want to tp down to Caly to test (USA, SF Bay Area, ~45Mb/s)
 
It can't be your home setups or locations. I was on at the same time as you just now Norian, hunting right next to you, and I had the same absolutely horrendous lag.

And my setup is 250mb/s, UK.
 
Still can't play, might aswell quit for a few months or forever. I have 100Mb/s and EU is the only thing that lags.

Not just regular lag, crazy stupid unplayable lag.

Events yay !!!........... NO.

I was on CP about two weeks ago - very similar experience - bad then OK then bad then bad, etc...
 
I will regularly have times of 4 second delay when changing equipped weapon/tool. Graphics changes do not change this, I also have been having lag which leads to disconnects lately (last 3 days).

East Coast USA 100mbps

When I tried today it wasn't the weapon switching that annoyed me, nor the delays while shooting, it's the damage after death, unkillable/lootable for 5s, absolute bullshit server speed.

It feels like I have torrents downloading, or rather, MA has torrents downloading on their server making it act like a potato for everyone else.

Someone's mining bitcoins on MA's servers.
 
Megaamateurs stop downloading porn, we are playing entropia universe here.
Sometimes 150ms is huge but ma lag is 3 seconds + so imagine the level of incompetence here.
I had better ping with korean servers in '98 when I started starcraft than 2017 EU.
 
Seemed better when the patch first hit, now it seems to be back to being playable but not great, hiccups every now and then, storage/auction taking time to load, swapping items having a delay sometimes, loot lag, damage lag, the usual stuff.

Definitely needs work, this should be their number one priority over literally anything else right now, I can only imagine the amount of activity they're losing from the lag.
 
hmmm just noticed the latency meter in the area below the radar. interesting.
 
Here is a nice sampling of the "lag" some people are talking about, while others seemingly have no issue.

So many things to point out here, like how some parts of the server are perfectly fine...like chat, skill gains, the healing ticks, damage taken....

But others, like shots fired, weapon swapping seem blocked on regular interval.

The server can still tell me each key stroke that there is nothing happening(and again chat, skills ect will still pop up in the wall of yellow fail text), this is not the lag typically associated with latency or connections. This is server side, some parts of the packet are fine, others are not.

This is a great example of the problem myself and may of my friends are having. I've almost given up on my improved resto chip because my mod2600 I can at least spam and hope it will go through vs the resto chip where who know how long it will be stuck out for.

Hopefully your video will help MA in correct this issue.
 
Thanks for posting the video - great evidence.

I blame the number of shortcuts on your UI however.. :laugh:

I'm loving the server upgrade. Even with 40ms latency everything works like poop.

over like the last month everything was working fine for me. now im having heavy auction lags with even a full shutdown of the auction house (it doesnt show any items anymore) so i have to relog for it to work again (including closing the launcher). when im on caly i dc like every 5 to 10 minutes, on other planets im fine. private trades are often cancelled due to server operation failed and since about 3 days i often got the tt not working (operation failed due to internal error) so i have to relog as well.
and to top all that depositing doesnt work as well now not in game not in webstore
 
Yes, auction lag is bad, bad, bad. Time spent waiting for auction every click is time spent not shooting.
 
you know why lag is so bad in the game?

Cause they keep cutting servers every frigging day trying to penny pinch to get the game running on as few servers as possible. All these "stress tests" they do is just to test the load after a couple more servers have been cut. It's to a point where the entire game is run on a single 486 computer in India powered by a hamster running in a wheel and hooked up to the best network backbone $1.99/mo can buy! So whenever there is the slightest uptick in users the whole system breaks down and everyone gets to deal with a shitload of lag.

Cause you know... the devs don't care about your experience in the game they only care that you're opening your wallet constantly.
 

It doesn't fix the lag issue unfortunately, but I thought you might like it.
 
I just rebooted my modem/router and now all lag gone, auction/storage and about one hour of hunting.
 
seems like the lag is minimal until a little 'wave' hits (2nd shrapnel burst, bonus skill time, etc.) ... essentially making the servers do more math, etc. Think there's some algorithm somewhere out of adjustment that the devs just can't figure out yet.

I have an idea.

I want you all to come play the game i just made... it goes like this:

1) throw loads of cash at me, in a nonsensical kind of way
2) log into my universe, where you will have the opportunity to 'play' .. and by play i mean rubberband around the lag-a-saurus rex monster, where will you can craft weapons that will never shoot, and make medical tools that 'are too busy to be accessed'.
3) immediately following the loss of your deposits, you can write a support ticket, where i will tell you 'you are trying hard, but if you depo again, you have another chance of rubber banding all around upcoming lag-ness-monster'.
4) you deposit again
5) same shit,.. again... meanwhile i make some exploitable battle sim that generates dozens of dollars every other week.

FUCK YES
