Where this post ended up post-move makes me think the official answer is "it's all on our end".
I've seen this response from Cryptic and moderators before. I'm sure I'll see it again.
Social zone lag is probably server side, as missions don't seem to lag as much (at least in my case), and I have absolutely no other connectivity issues to anywhere else in the WWW. My PC is WAAAAY above the system requirements of the game.
But since it's lumped in with Windows "PC, Network and Other Technical Issues" I guess the improvement in rubberbanding that we saw last weekend is the last of the efforts to resolve the rubberbanding that began with the Anniversary Event. I'll admit it's improved, but...
Since midseason update:
3-6 launcher restarts every game launch just to get into the game
about half a dozen CTD's at various locations in sector space warping between maps in last week
Multiple crashlogs submitted
more disconnects than I can count.
WTH is going on with the servers ?
Force verify doesn't find any issues. ever other inet app on my PC works without issues.
Haven't made any HW changes since I installed 2 years ago.
I'm having serious lag issues in the game to where it is literally unplayable. Sometimes maps won't load. Sometimes when they do load it's lagging so bad I can't even move my ship. The Character Selection screen takes a really long time to switch between characters. There is rubberbanding.
These problems are very similar to something I experienced over a year ago with STO, and that time it was a problem with Cogentco, a big internet hub in Dallas that Cryptic uses. Could it be the same problem this time around?
