Server busy; try again later...what?

sensualsoul

So I've been getting this message a lot but today was really a new joy! Today I was getting spammed with this message and getting mass lag with it. Please don't try to tell me its on my end I checked and everything is working just fine. I restarted my PC and yes I verified my freaking files. I do that every day before I attempt to play. So what is this message and how come I'm getting spammed with it? How do I get rid of it and all the freaking lag that comes with it? Oh and by spammed with it I mean 6 to 13 of those messages at a time.

I hardly ever say it's on your end. In fact, I quite often say it isn't. Most of the time it isn't the server either though.

Start with reading this, you might also try this if it applies, and don't forget this one.

Everyone forgets about the gigantic and vast internet that lies between them and the server.​​

You have said many time it's on my end. You even went so far as to tell me to buy a new PC. Which was funny since my PC gets replaced ever 24 month. But more importly, I really was posting this for a GM not a mod since a mods job and only job is to monitor the forums for post that are in the wrong place and move stuff around. I am not going read all the threads you have linked because... well why would I waste my time? My PC is fine, my connection is awesome, I verify the game file everyday before I play, so as far as my end goes all is great and that it all I can do. If there is something going on between my end and PWI well it's not like I can fix it. If it's on PWI's end it's not like a mod can do anything about it either. SO I would love for a GM to talk to me or even a programer, you know someone that can DO something. As far as I see it you are just the janitor.

Another complaint about lag, but again, there is no information given, aside from sylenthunder with his usual data.

Some technical issue I don't understand, but it when nowhere again.

Again you have an issue. Again there is no real information.

That's the threads you've started over the past year. It was fun.


Oh, and pro-tip... one verify "never fixes anything" I think is what sylenthunder says. Something about the patcher being a piece of **** like the rest of the client is.
I don't think GM's frequent the forums much, if ever.​​

Well I can't say I am nothing if not persistent! I keep hoping some GM will do their freaking job! As for the GMs not coming to forums, then when they give us that auto b.s. reply to post here they are lying to us, no surprise but still got to try right? And I know that the patcher is a piece of crude it's why I verifed EVERYTIME I log the game yesterday, though most days I just do it once when I log if I don't have any issues. I spent more time verifying then I did playing yesterday. FYI each time I did a post it wasn't just me, as my factions (that's more then one) where happy to tell me I was not alone with the problems. More then one person was having lag and dc yesterday too, most just don't bother saying so in these useless forums. If the GMs thing coming into the game and "playing" with the players makes us forget about the real issues, it doesn't. Instead of all the time they spend on out of game events and crude they need to focus on addressing the real issues people have in this game. About 60% of my friends list has left this game for better run games, slow death is still death and putting the game on Steam has not fix that or really slow it much. GMs need to step up and do their jobs. And if they are to freaking lazy to reply to the tickets then they need to reply here in the forums.

I just actualy noticed this error recently when trying hit skilz or pots nothing in any links fixes

Just a thought, try a different game that is also played online, and the servers are in the same region for that game. Run a trace route for both games. If you see the same problems in both trace routes, that will highlight things for you.

If you only see problems with pwi traceroute, you can post here, and others can help out. If you only see problems with the other game but not pwi, people can still bash heads together to find a solution.

When pwi has a mass dc event, i can not connect to diablo 3 at the same time. When people are fixing the underwater internet cables that takes my traffic across, i run into the same issue. Before hopping here, i check the above two things and than ask for help here. I have come to realise that my net connection is simply horrible, i just have to live with that or move to a different country.

It's just like fixing a broken car over the phone, without telling the mechanic the details and providing information, there is no way the mechanic can help isolate the problem and provide a solution. Unless you get the mechanic to come over and check the car. Pwi sadly can not just get up and check people's connection that way every time a user has a hiccup.​​

Try any of the tips?​​

sensualsoul

So I see no GMs have bothered to respond and the problem is still there. As for when it started I was talking to people in faction about this and everyone is saying it started about the second or third Maint. after we got Homesteads. So I guess it might be HomeStead related. FYI also having a LOT of bug reports while in homeSteads. I would say that the GM/Programers need to check the updates bet they will find the problem there.

joecisco

This forum isn't for GM's to respond to. It's for players to help other players.
You've been asked to provide information so someone could offer tips and assistance, yet you give nothing. Several times you have been asked, and several times you have given nothing.

I would say that you fail, and you need to do the needful.​​

sensualsoul

I was acctually told to post here after making a tickt and in the response was told that GM DO respond/read the form, so either they are lying or you don't know what you are talking about. As for giving info. IF and WHEN a GM ask me for something I will give them the info. THEY ask me for.
