over the last few weeks ive been getting nothing but rubber banded in ground and sector space social maps, but over the last 2-3 days in TFO ive been getting a lot of server not responding and not been able to move or shot properly.
ive seen a dev state on reddit that its a known issue, for me its getting worse, and from what ive seen in NoP Public Service channel im not the only one that thinks this.
what if any thing is been done about this?
because im thinking its time to take the £30-£40 I spend monthly on this game elsewhere.

As I said this is just my from my experience so mileage may vary. I was 'testing' stuff out 1 day while I was dabbling with STO & I was still having lag & DC issues. For reference I log-in via through Arc & the STO launcher. One time after doing so I popped-out of STO & took a look at my Task Manager: Applications (Apps). The usual suspects were there, but also there was a couple of new suspects under the: Arc Update. There was Arc, Arc Chat, Arc OSBrowser, & crashpad-handler.
So, I ended running the Arc Apps & just kept my Game Client running & it has been pretty smooth sailing ever since for the last few days.
I'd recommend, even though I don't guarantee, as I do log-in through Arc & the STO launcher as normal. Once at character select screen or even have a character at a STO map screen just tab out to Windows. Ctrl_Alt+Delete for the Task Manager & end the Arc Apps. There's usually 1 near the top & maybe 1 or 2 more a little bit further down like another ArcOSBrowser. Keep the Game Client running of course & then just pop back into STO & enjoy hopefully. I know it isn't the most technical instructions, but for me it has been working lots better. Good luck!
It works for me, thank you
it worked this morning (my local time), but not now.
Drats, did you go through & redo that process again when you logged back on? Each time I log-into STO now I have to redo that minor process & it is still working for me today.
Flushed the DNS
Powercycled my router and modem
Tried using the proxy, and also tried without
Did as was suggested by killing the apps except the game client
Nothing seems to work at this point. I am lucky if I can even complete an STF
Also, for me too it has been getting worse over the past few days
>>>>>>>
EDIT UPDATE
>>>>>>>
The problem is the client itself. The internet ONLY goes down when ingame for 3 pings and then goes back online. So the client is actually the problem and the cause at the same time. Otherwise, my internet never drops. The client causes issues with the wifi card.
>>>>>>>
EDIT UPDATE 2
>>>>>>>
Also, the issue seems to start at around 17:00 EST and I am guessing corrects itself at around 22:00 EST, as I never have issues before or after those times.
However, the past week or so I have been having such severe sever not responding issues and rubberbanding that I simply am unable to reliably play the game. 10 seconds of everything stopped followed by 3 seconds of watch my ship die as it all catches up is terrible and too regular.
EVERY single TFO I run now has a minimum of 3 Server Not Responding events. Earth Space Dock sees me running the same rout 4 times over before I actually get to the bank due to rubberbanding.
It has led me to spend more and more time with other games sadly. I really enjoy STO. I do hope that if enough people constantly speak out, that maybe after 10 years of listening to us complain non-stop, they'll try and fix something.
I ain't looking for perfect, just playable.
please look in to this problem
I was playing today and didn't notice it much, but last time I was on Nimbus III (with a bunch of other players) it was really bad, go stand next to a claimable barrow and it took a couple seconds to show as retrievable. If I play a solo mission don't even notice this problem much. But sense everything is sync with the server and other players, I think it's all the lagging from all.
What will Cryptic do about this issue ? Sweet FA as its been ongoing now for nearly a year or more

Ticket # 57971
Lots of new ships, a few new episodes, new account events. All OK, but can I ask that instead of adding more and more of this type of content, could you please fix the lag spikes and rubber banding that everyone in the game is experiencing daily?
Got a reply back to my ticket and it is a known bug but no known fix.
They are not idiots. Provide your system specs so they can continue to diagnose the problem involving Akamai Technologies.

What can I predict about this issue for 2020? more of the same. It ain't getting fixed.

It's BEEN the same boat for a while. Getting bottlenecked somewhere in the maze that is Akamai Technologies. I'm trying REAL hard to enjoy the winter event...but it's extremely difficult when I'm experiencing lag with absolutely EVERY aspect this game currently has to offer. I can't do regular missions (space OR ground), or be ANYWHERE without getting rubberbanded.

pathping shows somewhere just dropping 73% of their packets?

348ms ping is normal for me (from Asia) but that packet loss is not. It shows no signs of abating in the 1-2 months its been happening. I cannot justify spending money or time if the game is inaccessible, even if exciting new content keeps being added. Its been fun but I guess this is it for me. Just leaving behind diagnostic data in the hope it helps things get better.
