Massive server lag
Over the last few days I've experienced some serious server lag on the Cities and Planes server. Having tested my own connection, I can assuredly say that it hasn't been on my end.
Am I the only one experiencing this?

Re: Massive server lag
Nope not just you. Happened to me last and another today. Server time was around 20h up for the one today. Didn’t last too long though.

Re: Massive server lag
It happens over and over like three weeks now.
Re: Massive server lag
Usually when the server numbers reached the top 70+ player mark is when i noticed annoying lag.

Re: Massive server lag
I'm glad I wasn't the only one. Are there any plans from the staff team to address this issue?

Re: Massive server lag
It would help us if you can post the exact times here when the lag happens, so we can identify the cause. Might be we're running a test server at those times, or handling back-ups. Or doing heavy log searches or MySQL queries. Or it's something in the scripts, but last time the issue was running an extra test server.

It's about 6:10 PM EST and he lag is bad. Cities and Planes.

This corresponds to the test server being launched. Thanks.Xanos950 wrote:Dunshine wrote:It would help us if you can post the exact times here when the lag happens, so we can identify the cause.

Re: Massive server lag
One weird thing that happens on this server (for me) is that it seems everytime an enemy group pops in a dungeon and I see them, my computer stutter-lags for a moment, which is bizarre. I mean, I've played servers with gobs of overrides and haks necessary to play them and they play smooth as silk.
This? A vanilla, basic server? Nope.

Re: Massive server lag
That sounds like something on your end, a bit of software incompatibility or some-such.

Could these be interfering? Try removing some of them.I've played servers with gobs of overrides and haks necessary to play them and they play smooth as silk.

Re: Massive server lag
I play in the evenings EDT / EST, and have noticed a fair amount of it as well.

Re: Massive server lag
It's a client side video rendering issue.
Re: Massive server lag
Certainly not the case, at least for me. My connection with (only) Arelith has been laggy for the last few weeks. This was a shared experience, too, among the few that I was playing with last night as well.JediMindTrix wrote:It's a client side video rendering issue.
This manifests in delays with inventory loading, abilities and spells being used, as well as other basic actions.
It seems that we are having phi-sets and delays in server resets, too, if that's any indicator.

Re: Massive server lag
I know the server provider Arelith uses can have some DNS issues routing to certain locations. I hardly ever experience any latency on Arelith mainly due to my location being so close to the provider or the routing just works properly to my source.Rags wrote:Certainly not the case, at least for me.

Re: Massive server lag
I'm in the same time zone. Lots of lag in the late evenings, 10PM and beyond. It gets really bad around midnight. It's pretty much a daily occurrence lately.Rags wrote:I play in the evenings EDT / EST, and have noticed a fair amount of it as well.

Server took about 15 seconds to show me my character list and another minute to load the marketplace zone.Undulat wrote:Insane lag right now.

Re: Massive server lag
More tremendous server lags now?
Whatever you guys are doing, it's nearly always at the same time.
