And there I thought I was the only one. Last night in a Cathan mission I lagged big time. Normally I don't lag like that but last night it was horrible.

Seissor · Sep 20, 2007, 06:16 PM // 18:16

our issue isnt lag spikes....its 50, 000 ms ping+ ALL DAY with the exception of night time being ok. for some.

GenobeeX · Sep 20, 2007, 11:24 PM // 23:24

Having same problem, since I bought gwen i'ved had extreme lag, I did change my graphic driver settings and it help for at least 3 weeks but this week the lag is horrible. I cant barly play under these conditions!

redstarx · Sep 21, 2007, 02:23 AM // 02:23

Any update yet to this? So far, at least the lag would fix for me by 9pm EST...it's 10:15 and I'm stuck on the loading screen after you pick a character. Sent another reply to support with the pingplotter data...

Well West Oz here and this Arvo GW is totally unplayable for me

Pings from 5000 up and always in the red
Last night was playing fine
My ISP checked line so did Telstra and no problems found
whats going on?
Never had it this bad before to make me stop playing sure the occasional lag on weekends but
could still play.
Conection 8192/384 adsl

a reminder to all people with lag. send a support ticket to Anet/PlayNC and if possible, tell them about this thread please. Its fairly obvious now this is a big problem and alot of aussies and other people are suffering and its not going to get better before it gets worse.

I keep sending reports but will keep doing so
anyway this was the latest snap was in Shing je and playing ok for about 15 20 min then
bang slowed down stopped started running again slowed down and stopped
and this was the ping at the time.

Can play any other games OK can search net can download moves ect ect
all without problems it's just GW.
Maybe it's a link from Oz to overseas ?
++++++++++++++++
EDIT about 1 hr later
I just noticed if I change from Euro english dist to an International dist I get pings between 200 and 500 and have no problems
at all moving for the last 30 odd min

Weird
but I then changed back to Euro just before this edit and i hit the bad pings again and stopped moving.

So am going to keep switching back and forth and see if the same thing happens and send that info to support.

guy in south africa and dominican republic also have this issue.

Njaiguni Blaze · Sep 21, 2007, 02:39 PM // 14:39

I have no problems at all :l (European server, english) Neither do my guildies.

Global Crossing is having problems again.

My ping is higher than normal (>200 instead of <100), though I still have no real reason to complain compared to many of you.

Anyway, it doesn't make it any less of a widespread issue.

I do hope this gets fixed soon, we don't want a Summer 2007 all over again (when the Frankfurt hub failed).

Seissor · Sep 21, 2007, 04:51 PM // 16:51

i doubt that sorry. As Global Crossing ALWAYS has issues. I think it is simply coincidence as at night (my time which is east cost aussie) they have isseus but i play fine at night. but of course when global crossing is having more issues it will be a more intense amount of lag.

There's has to be a constant in our problems. I'm just having trouble in identifying just what it is.

In my case, I know it's not my PC, as we run 2 PC's here, both with their own copy of GW, and the same problems occur on both.
Also had a friend come over, and his account had the same ping issues.
Out of 3 a/c's, one was orginated on the US servers, 2 on the Euro servers.

We're in the suburbs of Melbourne. Our ISP is aanet, 1500/256 connection. We know that aanet runs their international line through singtel. But at GW's laggy times, we dont have problems with general net browsing, and other online games run perfectly.
Modem is a D-Link 302g.. dont know what else I can tell you at this point, let me know if you ant any more info.

what sort of graphics card are you running? is it able to keep up with the FPS? I would assume so.

Just curious about this one.

Kittani · Sep 22, 2007, 03:57 AM // 03:57

The graphics card on my PC is an ATi 9600pro (FPS is usually sitting in the mid 20's) and the other PC is running InVIDIA 7600GS, FPS on around 60. No hardware has been changed recently.

My PC is pretty much the recommended the stats as per the GW:en box, it's not high end, but it does the job.

uberdruid · Sep 22, 2007, 04:11 AM // 04:11

I have been having the same issues for over a month now.

It was from within a thread from AANET's forums that I found a link to this one.

If anyone is interested:
http://forums.aanet.net.au/viewtopic.php?t=13569

I have also gone through the rounds with GW support which proved pretty pathetic.

This issue seems to be effecting a hell of alot of people. I can't understand why no one wants to at least try and isolate where the problem is from.

I for one am sick of it. If someone doesn't start at least looking at the problem soon I will be both churning from AANET and blacklisting GW and related products regardless of who is to blame. The lack of response from both sides is appalling.

Kittani · Sep 22, 2007, 04:33 AM // 04:33

Thanks uberdruid, I've been keeping tabs on that thread too. That's when I realised that it wasn't just ME, there were others with the same problems.

I wont be around tonight to try and get a tracert during the GW "Bad time" (as I now like to call it) so I'll try Sunday night again. That being said, I just popped my head in game and I seem fine.

Roo Ella · Sep 22, 2007, 04:51 AM // 04:51

Sigh It's just as bad this morning unplayable
I'm with Exetel ISP if that helps think they go through Optus to overseas
Dunno

Seissor · Sep 22, 2007, 08:22 AM // 08:22

i see a name popping up alot.

singtel and optus

and another memeber recently said they churned to Internode, they have since not returned to this thread to voice further internet issues. I am churning over to Internode the coming week, I will inform my old ISP, Anet/PlayNC and this thread of the success/failure of this effort.

Roo Ella · Sep 22, 2007, 05:50 PM // 17:50

Here is mine only went for about 10 min before disconect
I don't understand this kind of stuff
