If You Have Lag . . .

It most likely is related to your PC or Internet network.

I very rarely have lag and I have a 5-year-old PC with only a Radeon 5570 video card and 4 Gig RAM. So far, I have never had any real lag in Mod 6. The only times I ever got any lag were during huge group events like Tiamat (which I gave-up on anyways) and the Dragon Heralds when there was a huge group.

It probably has a lot more to do with your Internet network upstream. Does Cogent ring a bell? :)

    I'm from Poland so CET time. All the worst is happening between 20:00-23:00.
    Each day since Mod 6 came out. That's just too much seriously.

    Out of 5 people in a party, at least from 3 different continents including usa, all have the same lag, especially in dungeons. This is outrageous, makes the game unplayable especially now that fights are more detailed and not just a button spam fest. Can someone elaborate please? Is this going to end? When? When half the population leaves servers? That is the strategy here?

    If I recall correctly some prior discussion about Cogent, it does not affect every online game or Internet surfing in general. The problem had something to do with PWE and/or Cryptic. I tried to search and could not find the prior threads - one of them was quite lengthy.

    Like may of the above, I have no problems at all with my internet server or computer, including other highly graphically intense games (warframe, firefall, rift to name a few). Only in Neverwinter do I encounter lag, and disconnects regularly. Add to this all the others with the same issue, and I would say it's probably something on the game's end not all of ours, and only effecting one site

    I hear you man...but the thing is I don;t see any real interest from the game provider nor from anyone who can at least feed us with a thought what the hell is going on.
    I would even like to hear "**** you you won't play!" rather than complete and utter silence.

    I just can't play anymore. Besides the obvious lag in the new areas, my game freezes all the time when in combat. I can't do even PvP now. Before this mod I played just fine, didnt have the settings at minimum.

    I have a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 and 4GB RAM. Any advice to improve my PC performance?

    That totally explains why if you shift to less populated instances the lag goes away...until it fills up then *presto* rubberband nightmare from hell. Main problem is that spinward is at max capacity with no new instances being created and are actually now going over the 30 person cap (which with 1 very small tweak could become 20 person instances with much less lag). Raise max instance per zone cap and lower the per instance population cap. Should hold us until they figure out the problem that is causing all this lag.

    It's not your hardware, it's the issues at the PWE's end. Noone will convinve me that it's my PC issue.

    If I have lag, then it's me.

    If everyone in my guild has lag, it's not us, it's the server.

    I refer you to Ockham's razor.

    And I'll refer everyone to the threads which already exist concerning lag and latency. Please refrain from creating multiple threads about the same matter, as it helps no one and will not force a resolution to your issue.
