Hi,

Around every min or 2 I will always get these real bad lag spikes that last a few seconds, and I was wondering if anybody knew what I might be able to do to fix this issue?

The rest of the time I do not get any lag until the lag spiked hit. I have a good computer so its not that I cant run the game, and I also have a good internet connection.

I am running windows 7, and if need the rest of my computer specs just let me know and I will put them up here.

Thanks,
Tippsy

why don't you post a tracert to the uthgard-server.net and see if it has time outs or really long response times.

my connection messes up when i hit telia.net every time.

oh ya you can bring up your performance meter in-game by shift-+p key p and l is internet problem and f is your computer. i have problems with L most of the time.

Sorry,

But how do I post a tracert to uthgard-server.net?

Nvm, figured it out.

ya thoughs are some pretty ugly response times.

uthgard-server.net is the webserver of Uthgard.

The game server is: uthgard.game-server.cc

How do you notice the lag? What happens?

@staff
As many ppl that goes through Telia are having problems, did you try to modify IPtables/routing adding that telia network manually/IP based instead of name?

I will try running a tracert to uthgard.game-server.cc when I get back home from work.

And when i experience lag. Its just at random times. right now my toon is only level 17. So I haven't gone to many places. But it happens in Cities, in the open world, or in nisses / the cursed tomb.

It doesn't really matter where I am, but all of a sudden it just lags up really bad for no apparent reason. But besides these lag spikes the games runs very smooth.

Thanks,
Tippsy

Today I was playing and decided to tracert duing a time where connectivity was not a big issue. Compared to what I posted previous, the ping times were so close that its almost identical. however, I landed perf a time or two, and was able to interact. This leads me to believe that either a) I was extremely unlucky duing the 2 tracerts I performed, and got the same times as yesterday during a lag spike, or b) there is something on the game server side that is affecting many people. This is not meant to point fingers, Im just saying, ping times similar, but drastically different play results means the big problem is not the route the data takes. Although im absolutely certain bringing those ping times down would help, its certainly not the "big monster" causing me to perf the wind because the person I targeted is now 4 zones away.

There you go. some pings over 300 and many over 250, yet lag compared to yesterday is night and day.

If it helps any, on the in game performance meter, when the lag spikes the middle symbol s what turn red. The other 2 stay green.

Yeah ive got that up all the time. The center one is ALMOST always yellow triangle. Occasionally turns green, but way more often than it should, turns red box.

I have a decent internet connection and a comp with a ati 5700 and an i5-750 and equally decent mobo/ram/psu/etc. Im fairly confident it is nothing on this side. It is possible that the telianet or other networks is causing this, but I hope that the admins always continue to minimize lag on their end as well. Ping times to uthgard are in the 300s of ms, which is pretty slow considering getting most pings to say google or yahoo are only 40-60 ms.

i've had my worst night of lag this evening i'm gmt-6 kept going ld or long lag spikes.

Your times are far better than mine were Jalore, and it was playable last night. I hope the admins are looking into this.

Just curious if a admin might know anything more about this? Or if there was anymore information that I might be able to get for ya. I am still experiencing it, and it makes it very hard to RvR when I get huge lag spikes so often. Being a healer, it just doesn't work very well with lag.
