hey, i've been playing PWI for bout 3 months now and never had any serious lag issues.. but recently, maybe 3 days ago or so.. i've been getting this real bad lag thats been making it unbareable to play. it comes on and off frequently, i get probably 5-10 seconds of lag free time where everything i tried to do while lagging catches up in fast forward.. and after that another few minutes of no response when i try anything such as hopping on a mount or clicking skills. nothings changed recently on my part in terms of my computer or internet connection (but its hard to know as someone with the same isp's been complaining of the same thing) but..i'm not sure bout saying its the isp's fault just yet as i havent had problems with any other internet activities.. and dodo, my isp, is a pain in the rear to communicate with.

anyone got some clues on what it might be?.. i'm realy hoping its all gonna blow over but its been 3 days so who knows..

b:cry
Finally, i have been reading through the forums hoping someone else was having the same issues a myself.
I have been experiencing the same issues as you have mentioned for about the same period of time. It's unplayable, and strangely enough i too am with dodo.
i have followed the network related t/s guides here, sent a ticket through to support, but i have also been on the phone with Dodo who insist there is nothing wrong on their end, although they have told me they will be "getting back to me".

Also. for me is not only happening in Arch.. doesn't matter where i am or where i log in i get this issue. Couple other things i noticed that have been happening that hadn't before:

Not always, but more often a complete timeout when logging into game, or at least 3-10sec wait. Most times ping for Heavens Tear server is around 180-200m/s mark... but occassionally 3000m/s. When i send a msg to someone it takes around 30secs - 1min to actually show up on the screen.

Hopefully something comes from this if many of us are experiencing the same issue. b:cryb:bye

When i use my Laptop .... It lags Like Yours.... but when i use DeskTop ... it doesn't .. it just Lags when i got to West Arch any ways I use Direct Conection No wifi for the laptopb:cry

the lag has been getting progresivly worse over the last 4-8 weeks culminating in the genies , makin arc vertually a no go area unless you using NASA's connection , i try to do as much as i can away from arc and log out anywhere but arc , i guess its the volume of users you would think anticipating this PWI would have plans in the pipeline to improve the bandwidth available ,, watch this space ....................................



or maybe not b:sad

Yes after the adding of genies it did get worse around arch, and i do take pre-cautions before and after the genie addition to not log in arch. Sadly now it doesn't matter where i am. And i have played perfectly fine up until 3 days ago.

Hmmm, what I do is press alt + F9 to change the game specs to the lowest.
That way, it will not matter how many people are around / cat shops, you will have less lagg than with your normal game-play.

It is some times computer lag and not network lag (ram, video card, etc. hardware/software issues).

When going to populated places, try using the lowest specs so you will not be like frame-30 seconds-frame-30 seconds-frame :P

Thanks for your advice, although i have already tried to play with low settings. Same result whether high or low settings are used.
