The **** is this? Why does it keep happening? I have an extremely fast internet. It's turning me off from this-game.

If there's a fix tell me.

    I'd like to know as well. I've been having this problem a lot more frequently of late. I'm fairly certain the problem is not on my end because the problem persists even when I turn the graphics all the way down and close all other programs that may be using bandwidth. Occasionally the problem is fixed by exiting the game and rebooting it. Other times it persists and I just stop playing.

    Do you have on demand patching turned off?

    No, doesn't that triple the loading times? I wouldn't want that...

    125 seconds now. All of those in PVP too, literally ruining the experience.

    What's causing this?

    on-demand patching is on by default. that means the launcher/patcher will patch the bare minimum and then patch as you enter different zones or as required for game-play.

    turning it off will force you to download all patch data at once. the download will be larger (and take longer) at patch times, but it will eliminate the "server not responding" issues you may be seeing while trying to switch between zones or during some game play.

    *if you turn this off now, expect to start downloading missing patch files.

    I dont think that is what he's talking about. Since 2 PM CET today, the game is absolutely impossible to play. I've had a half protector's enclave warp earlier. I cant get any results from crafts, I cant even pray.

    Please dont tell us you are not aware of the issue nor that it is not an issue. The Double XP week end will just be wasted. I am not even sure I will be able to launch any crafts as the gateway internal response (ie. anything related to your chars) are as slow as the main game.

    ^^^^^^^ This, didn't want to explain in details because I'm about to be pissed.

    I'm normally very Serene but I'm sick right now... and I have a short temper when I'm sick unfortunately, just wanted to enjoy some PVP and this **** happens.

    Everytime there's an active event, this unplayable thing happens, I don't think it's a coinsidence.

    lol no , when you turn on demand patching off the whole client downloads the next time you start the game but after that the only time your game will patch is on patch days ,on demand patching being on is usually a huge problem that causes a lot of lag because areas are downloading as you enter them for the first time , dunno if you are having server issues or this but it is definitely better to turn it off.

    I did, It's patching. Took a good 5 minutes to reach 1% despite my fast internet.

    How long is this gonna take?

    You must be missing a LOT of the client , I did it overnight when I went to bed when I did it .

    central european time would mean that you could be experiencing regional internet issues that are completely unrelated to PWE. your internet service/speed is completely unrelated to a hub or connection between your ISP and the PWE servers that may be causing the game to be unplayable.

    doing a tracert may not isolate the issue. sometimes because of a major hub being down, traffic is usually re-routed so it adds hops to your connection. the more traffic on those hops, the higher probability of latency.

    Just disabled on demand patching. No ****ing difference whatsoever. Got disconnected TWICE.

    Sorry to hear that , once whatever problems you are having at the moment clear up you should notice a difference with the on demand turned off , I used to hate the client constantly downloading chunks of the game every few minutes.

    I'm in Arizona and also experiencing these odd issues.
    Heavy, random lag time regardless of location, internet speed or computer efficiency, queues not responding, placing party members in the wrong instance when moving to the rest of the party, despite said instance not being full, campaign tasks lagging at 0:00 for no feasible reason.
    The game is definitely experiencing problems around the world.
    It's not an isolated user problem.

    And I've had the On-Demand Patching off for months.

    This is much more than whether on demand patching is on or off.

    There is consistent rubberbanding going on by many players. For me its is roughly every 7 - 10 minutes I'll bounce around a couple of times. In Neverdeath, on a new toon, the game bounced me off the bridge and into the pit. Been a problem ever since the 'network' issue a month or so ago.
    Disconnects, Server not responding, being slung all over the map every few minutes. I don't dare go into a dungeon. Imagine being in VT and going to your casket and having the game say, "NO you don't" and sling you back by the entrance.

    At this point, its more of an annoyance, because I'm really not doing anything but leveling companions, but if this persist into MOD3, it will become one.
