Ever since I downloaded that new update everything is laggin'... I mean everywhere too. I can hit a spell and it doesn't work for another few seconds, glitchin' in/out of areas, type something it happens a few seconds later. I have been playing this game for a long long time and this has never happened on a level like this... I also have heard from others in my guild and online that are experiencing issues. Something needs to be done to correct it. Maybe the servers couldn't handle this new update ? I'm getting a great ic on everything else I do.

I have been lagging awfully ever since factions update.

Andy_M · Jan 22, 2006, 01:38 AM // 01:38

Maybe there are heck of a lot more people on this weekend. I have had the odd bit of lag, nothing too bad. For me it was worse after the wintersday update.

i for one have been un-affected, and know not someone who has suffered this lag.

But thats just me

Res Surection · Jan 22, 2006, 02:11 AM // 02:11

its cause alot of people are running cheap pc's

Res Surection · Jan 22, 2006, 02:11 AM // 02:11

I pass all standards by alot

Lab Monke · Jan 22, 2006, 03:41 AM // 03:41

yah well, i've been playing the game since July and this has never happened

btw, my computer is a a A64 3500, 1gb DDR, 6800gt PCIe. so... it ain't a weak pc

lishi · Jan 22, 2006, 03:42 AM // 03:42

i getting some 10-20 second lag.

and i will add , having a cheap pc can cause your game freeze if some backgroup program make something for few second , net lag are another thing.

Cash · Jan 22, 2006, 03:44 AM // 03:44

my problems started today- i was actually about to post about it as a possible update issue.

what happens is when i cast a spell, theres a noticable delay before the spell even starts. also, and more of a PITA is the "rubberbanding" effect im now getting. ill be going from one place and all the sudden ill warp back a bit. my character will start turning in circles while running as well. its quite odd and it just started- i had no problems after wintersday and none when i updated for factions.

also, my computer is very top of the line and im on high-speed internet so i know its not a problem on my end. anyone else experiencing this?

TheArrow · Jan 22, 2006, 04:25 AM // 04:25

Actually that sounds like exactly what I'm experiencing Cash. It's only been since about 6pm tonight that I've lagged so badly. I can't even run around in an empty distict without lagging. Something tells me A.Net messed up some of the code, because there aren't any more districts anywhere than there normally is.

ghostlyranger · Jan 22, 2006, 04:38 AM // 04:38

i also experience alot network lag in the battle isle, droknar forge, tomb

Tortoise · Jan 22, 2006, 04:53 AM // 04:53

Lagging here too, every now and then. And running the game on 7800gt...

Narcissus · Jan 22, 2006, 08:37 AM // 08:37

LOTS of little hiccups on with my gameplay. Little 1-3 second screenfreezes. It wouldn't be AS annoying if I wasn't a Primary Healer/Support toon that needs to change targets/skills quickly.

Sai of Winter · Jan 22, 2006, 08:52 AM // 08:52

I haven't experience any lag and the game is running fine for me. Maybe it's because I upgraded my computer before the event.

But I still get the regular err=7 (or new an improved code=007) once a day.

complexiator · Jan 22, 2006, 12:02 PM // 12:02

It certainly has gone a lot worse since the batle islands update. In fight when I'm chasing someone my char isnt running but flashing all over the map.

BellyFlop · Jan 22, 2006, 02:29 PM // 14:29

no lag here only when it was loaded the major update but nothing since friday night!!

Europe Server that is.

The Primeval King · Jan 22, 2006, 05:34 PM // 17:34

Well I have played since June.. or maybe it was May, and have never had lag. That is, until now. I played on the highest visual quality, but when the factions update came, I switched to the lowest, and still got lag! Is this just because there are so many people playing this weekend?

Cjlr · Jan 22, 2006, 05:38 PM // 17:38

If it is true lag (meaning latency), it should have next to nothing to do with your hardware specs... If the server is (metaphorically) clogged, there's nothing you can do about it. Problem is, crappy performance from a crappy PC is sometimes indistinguishable from crappy performance due to crappy connection.

Retribution X · Jan 22, 2006, 06:11 PM // 18:11

i got the rubberband effect while running. it's like they could teleport me back to them. i'd almost get to portal, then get warped back.
