Server lag update

[CookiePuss 5378]

Just played some Baylan, /fps showed stable latency and fps (60ms 100fps) but the game was just a stuttery mess.

Gonn try some mission districts and see if its any better.

Melbourne as in Melbourne Australia??? 

 

Does this mean we will expect an AU server or OCE server in the future??

Hi all,

We analyzed the logs and found a fairly significant source of latency, and we put a fix into the last patch.

I don't think there is any one silver bullet that will fix the lag, but I'm curious how everyone's experience has been so far during the Holiday Event.

 

Thanks,
Matt

i run a powerful gaming pc and have ultra fast internet

 

ping spikes by 50%, always higher ping, constant warping/teleporting, failure of shots to register, ~60 fps when i should have 100 fps (max fps without 144 hz monitor) and it drops to 30 on lag spikes

 

the game is unplayable with the constant stuttering

[CookiePuss 5378]

Did a few missions as well... completely unplayable.

Still showing stable fps and latency (100fps 60ms), but the game just stutters and freezes whenever I shoot.

the fps and latency counters are very deceiving, many newbie players probably assume their own computers/internet is poor.

 

 

LO has not been transparent about this issue as the only indicator of lag is on the forums/other players and not in game

Why Talon and not Fang???

Because it's gonna add to my SD collection.

 

Here is the list of the SD weapons I own:

 

• Temptress
• N-243
• Whisper RT1
• Pathfinder PR2
• FBW
• FR0G Thumbnail
• Oblivion
• Bloody Mary
• Odin
• Troublemaker (Post Nerf)
• Hush
• Whisper PR2
• Vulture (Unlock)

After the Talon, all I would need, is the Crown, Watchman, ISSR-b, DMR SD, Osprey, and the Kris.

I assume you mean latency wise and not fps wise, right?

stuttering is the equivalent of server side frame skipping/warping, basically its rubberbanding but not returning the player to the original position which is causing some people to "speed hack"

That was the odd part, I wasnt seeing any fluctuation in either. 

 

Tomorrow I'll try the steam overlay for fps, maybe the in game one just isnt showing it. 

[Unclean 45]

oh wow....... someone with power witnessed rubberbanding and acknowledged how it's unplayable...

 

 

This man.... May save us.

Unfortunately still laggy but better as for the patch !

That makes me wonder if the Oblivion does count as silenced. Sure it sounds silenced, but without tracers there's no real way to tell is there?

Seems better to me since the patch... Haven't noticed any warping / stuttering like before. 

[Uhtdred 238]

I have 60ms more than usual, so I can't even use my premium days.

I suppose we cannot have the name of the in-game character names of the devs like Matt or Lixil so I can add them to friends and quick-join their server when they do one of those "come play with the devs" events..?

 

\_/^^\_/

 

PLEASE DONT NAME THEM UNLESS YOU ARE THE DEV HIM/HERSELF.

I don't want to invade privacy or something like that, I know I wouldn't like that...

The last few times I played I didn't notice the warps/teleports like before. Played both in Asylum and in Financial on Jericho. Thanks so much!

Not trying to smash hopes and dreams, but they have a separate dev team in Australia, so he may have been visiting them.  They're the ones working on the UE4 rewrite while the US team is working on the 3.5 upgrade.

[Excalibur! 207]

Anyone else lagging right now on jericho or its just me?

Solution was to disable fairfight and server lag gone

[Redeemed 6]

Servers seem terrible again... DDOS, mitigation, whatever... Just to the point of not being playable / enjoyable to play... Need to come up with a better solution to this issue fast or all the people who have come back since LO took over will be leaving again.
