Recent ingame lag seems to be fixed.

Server was quite slow and unresponsive. After updates, chkdsk, cleanups and reboot it runs smooth again. Something got stuck, file and directory access was quite slow from time to time.

So check if you see improvements.

Did you guys defragment the drives!

No. The issue solved without defragmentation. Something messed up.

Hi Blue.

After i have read it my heart stoped for a few minutes with a hope i will be able to play again on Uthgard after 13gmt. i have decided to log in it was exactly 21:37 GMT . Loged in red/yellow in the middle constant lag = game unplayable, exactly on 21:39 like 30sec freeeze i hit a heal on my shamy and had to wait 30sec when its acctually cast anything.

So unfortunatly lag doesnt change for me still lagging like hell.

done a quick traceroute but as always it loks perfect:

Just loged in with my healer. Wanted to port to housing from Jord hit the npc and of course had to wait like more then 30 sec to talk to him first but this is normal cose of my lags but while i was waiting for the npc to talk to him other playes been porting normaly and i could see all the effects and everything and that is strange;D Cose with a 30 sec freeze everything should be freezed or i am wrong?:>

I have the same problem, it has been this way for maybe 2 months. I only ever lag in primetime, from 5PM until 1AM UK time

I ping the server and traceroute to it fine.

These are from just now, I got meleed to death whilst I was stood in the ATK. Maybe the Servers host does something at this time? It seems to be pretty much on the hour at 5PM(6CET) every night.

I think more ppls having that lags even if traceroute to server is perfect. Only thing now is we need to be patient and wait for GMs(pointing at Blue;D)to check one of us accounts (check the logs) what exactly happening during that strange lag then i am sure the problem will be solved.

Because i am sure now after more and more ppls showing up with the same problem that it must be smth with the server itself.

I know i should be patient and wait but just want to ask a question? is there any chance any GM will have a look on our logs to check whats wrong with that constant lag ? Or it is not as easy as i think?.

Thank You

Please make sure its a real lag. Write in Chat and see when you finally see the chat message.

We are working in the background on lag reasons. But lags are more sporadic occurrences not permanent.

Yes it is real lag just right now loged in with my shamy 9.07 GMT ( you got my acc name ) had to wait 25sec to read what i have wrote on /s .

9:21GMT 9sec to read what /s with same acc.

Lag is constant between 3-9sec all the time, sometimes it is even lik 30sec.

Hello Blue,

Thank you for tweaking the server, but I still get these bad connections, especially during night time here in Japan. (In where I would be lucky to even load into the game properly now)

The test I use is I click an npc, myself, and a few other things in the area. The report in the game should say something like "You target XXX. He is a XXXX in your realm." or "You target YYY. It is aggressive to you" or something of that nature. If these messages dont pop properly, then I know ive got a crap connection, and have to relog multiple times before I get one that is playable. And there doesnt seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Sometimes if Im really really lucky first time works, but other times I have to relog 5 or so times, and sometimes just have to give up.

Please continue to investigate this issue as Im sure the 3 or 4 of us posting here are not the only players experiencing this.

Thanks

I can't even imagine 3, let 25 seconds constant lag. Terrible.

Hi Blue,

I would say that it is anywhere between 1-3 seconds constant lag (on the bad connections) and can spike to around 7-9 seconds on an average spike. REALLY REALLY REALLY rare cases ive had it over 20 seconds, but most of the time if that happens I LD. On a good connection (after I get one) I have very few lags and almost never LD.

I can fix the sporadic lags like you said (20sec once). Constant lags which no other players have are nearly impossible to fix.

I would suggest to play with MTU size again. Theres a thread in the archive for it.
