Hangups and Lag, ISP issues? Firewall issues? Help a lad.

Post by The Patriarchy » Wed Aug 16, 2017 6:11 am

So,

I've got this problem where I'm having these occasional lagspikes or sometimes 15+ second long spikes.

I got a new modem from my ISP, a Technicolor.

I opened its ports, doesn't seem to work.

I turned off firewalls. Doesn't seem to work.

What do you think it is? It also happens on servers other than Arelith. I didn't notice any changes in other games I play or when browsing.

Does anyone know what this might be? Or maybe run me through something I might be missing?
I love elven communism.

I've oddly had the exact same issue in the last day, the game randomly ping lagging like crazy for a couple of seconds, sometimes enough to drop me from the server, before normalizing.

Considering that other people seem to be having the same issue, I doubt it's your modem...

But just the same, check for an option called 'flood protection' in your modem configuration. It tends to do stuff like this.
Misc Changes, with the Feats and Skills sublinks.
Available races
Spell Changes
Class Mechanics
Command Guide

Take a look before asking your questions!

Past couple of days I've been experiencing 5-10 second hangups every minute or so, as well.

This is still happening and specifically on the surface server. It's become almost unbearable.

Mine is only on the Cities/Planes server. Weird!
I hear too many properties on weapons/items can cause lag? >.> Should we blame Kirito?
(jk we <3 u Kirito)

I was stuck in a Xyvart's inventory for like 3 minutes.
Cities is unplayable for me.

I was trapped in the inventory of a bookshelf for about a minute. Thought I'd gotten away, but was ported back to the shelf. xD

I crash on transitions about 20% of the time.
