    Haven't had too much time to check this as of late. I do know they're still working on this try to do what they can. If I had to guess what's up my bet is they're trying to work with their ISP and Akamai which is going to be the biggest slowdown. Also doesn't help that they're out of the studio due to this virus at the moment, which is further complicating things. The key issue is how Akamai can open up more traffic for Cryptic without opening them up to DDoS attacks. Also if Cryptic did decide to switch ISPs as a hypothetical, they would need to make sure that ISP isn't using Akamai and also has proper security for them. They would also have to make sure all their ducks are in a row before they make the jump as well. It will get fixed folks, just not as fast as we would like it seems.

    Thank you for the update

    Usually get bad lag in PVP when opponents release lots of pets, like War Ghoul the Formally Undefeated does.

    War Ghoul undefeated HAHAHAH he was never undefeated, I beat him in ker'rat and then after he whined about it saying he was now going to bring his main I then vaped him in it 5 mins later. All the top group of players in Ker'rat have beaten him, Q'Tip. Kellessi, Chell, Biebs, Pheo. He does zero damage and is a in a healer build. I will be generous and say that for 98% of the player base he will be impossible to beat and so I give him credit for a good healer build. However, the build is useless since it does no damage. On a PvP team his spot is wasted since the other team will just ignore him and since he does NO damage there is NO point in playing with him. He is not using a sci vessel so he can't even heal others effectively or be of any tactical help. Any old school VAPER specialist could beat him easily and even top dog fighters can take him down.

    Congratualations on beating him but you are by no means the first. Ker'rat regulars have been punishing him for so long that because of his trolling behaviour every time he loses that he is ignored now and nobody even bothers with him anymore.

    Congratulations oh defeating him though. It is a testament to your excellent ship build and play :)

    The last two mornings (KST) have been absolutely awful. I normally wake up and do my dailies and today and yesterday I couldn't even do that. I got their research restarted and reps, but the admiralty and doffing had to wait until later on. I tried to run some RTFO and this morning tried to do the space event, but it was unplayable.

    In the middle of pahvo the entire thing just froze for 40-50 seconds. Nothing moved, except me. I couldn't shoot or do anything. Finally when it came back everything ran at superspeed for like 5 seconds and it calmed down. At other parts during Pahvo it stuttered (different from rubber banding) really hard. Never had it do that before except yesterday.

    Other characters just had major lag, rubber banding, and then "server not responding" several times. My download speed is slightly off, but overall my connection seems just fine: https://www.speedtest.net/result/9448962655

    There is still a long pause when Endeavors complete which I have seen lots of people talk about in chat. This pause on actions is spreading to other systems. Now I see the same style of pause in other areas for example when I click the skill page for the first time in a days session the entire client pauses and lags out for a good second or two. Once this has happened it goes back to normal for a little while. But if I wait 5min and go back to the skill page in a different zone everything lags out again.

    I've been switching between the EU and U.S proxies. U.S proxy when the U.S traffic should be at a minimum and EU proxy when Europe should be tucked up in bed. Makes no difference. The rubberbanding has even started to hit me on New Romulus in Command and open zone areas where it doesn't usually affect me.

    This is probably going to bite me in the backside here but I did a couple of things and my rubberbanding has been better, power tray misfires have been a hell of a lot better. In task manager after turning on my PC disk was running at 100% for about 10-20 mins after start up which is a common thing with Windows 10.

    I used cmd prompt (run as admin) and disabled superfetch with net.exe stop superfetch or net.exe stop sysmain.

    Reset my virtual memory and turned off paging file size for all drives under ram

    and delete my temporal files.

    Disk still does same thing but my rubberbanding has been much better still get the old bit.

    I am going to perform a disk check but as this could potentially take a whole day to do will wait until I know i'm going to be away from my PC for a long time


    Edit

    Knew it would bite me in the backside. Have had more rubberbanding and power tray misfires after todays patch than I've had all of Sun/Mon/Tues and Weds of this week.

    The lag is savage when doing ground pvp, the tray abilities simply take ages to work, if at all. However, this occured while my opponent was running 32 pets at once and had a 3 second cooldown for Mudd's Time Device. Previously when the same opponent had no reduced cooldown 'abilities' there was no lag or freezes.

    No, War Ghoul (Premysl Revenant). The dude who claims he has never been defeated in pvp, be it ground or space.

    how the heck doe one use 32 pets at once? unless i am missing the blow fish undertones of the statement above that mentions it...

    full carrier using fighters plus hive dDefenses and/or Hivebearer plus one of the summon devices plus Photonic Fleet reach be able to spike a fair bit high then that even.


    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

    Well he did and I'd like to know too, especially after seeing them spawn on the map.

    No carrier or photonic fleet in use on a ground pvp match. Instead it looked like fighting the entire Romulan Star Empire Army.

    Last night I had a lot of lag while at the Vlugta Asteroid Field doing my dilithium mining for the Bonus Dilithium Event. While there have been days where it has been as smooth as silk, lately, due to COVID-19 as well as the ongoing Akamai Technologies debacle I have either been SNRed and/or rubberbanded like crazy on the ground. May these lag reports in this thread, in the Performance Issues survey, and in the user-created threads bring clarity to the problem and result in a fix that will improve the connectivity in this game. Thanks. :)

    Tonight (3/6/20) the lag is atrocious, literally making the game unplayable. Ten minutes of watching the character teleport all over the place, then a simple TFO is totally unplayable. The first warning the savage lag/rubberbanding was coming has always been that server failure warning. Normally this shouldn't happen in a pve, loading onto a planet or even pvp (except when a cooldown reduction mod was being used by an opponent). There is clearly a problem between client and server connections that needs looking into before the game ends up totally unplayable.

    Had to close to desktop as unplayable rubberbanding and lag in a khitomer space. Couldn't even leave the map when out of red alert

    There is a clear established link between node 93.191.173.x and the lag/rubberbanding. Even the battlezones are smooth at the moment which are near unplayable for months at a time. It seems to be every time that 93.191.173.x akamai node spikes up the lag/rubberbanding hits. Excluding the skill page and endeavor lag which is a different thing.

    Last night from 10 PM to around 11 PM EST, I had a SNR but no disconnect in Arena of Sompek on one of my characters either my Delta Recruit, or TOS/Temporal Agent, I was ok on my Fed. On my TOS character I had three SNRs/disconnects yesterday while replaying the mission The Doomsday Machine.

    Quite often when I rubberband the game or I will freeze for a few seconds before being pinged back. That has to be packet data loss by the game?

    Have you tried running /netgraph 1 at the same time as you have the rubberbanding?

    Speaking of netgraph no idea why but 100% of the time opening my skill page for the first time that session creates a massive lag spike that shows in netgraph and stops the NPC's moving. Same for Endeavors they complete and a lag spike? Every single time.

    I turned netgraph1 on and ran a V-Rex fight with it on. No rubberbanding which was nice, as at the time of my original post I would be fortunate to go a min without it.

    Ping average out at 175
    Sent 34
    Received was averaging around 300 but would spike to 4 digits but was so fast you couldn't record it.

    Ping was actually higher standing idle in the Command Center than out in the zone 200.

    I always get the UI Freeze when accessing the spec trees and also when spending a spec point

    Just rang a Crystal Cat and my ping was between 123 and 176 Sent was spiking up to 4000 and Received up to 23000 which is to be expected with all the visual spam of 10 people pew pewing on that map. However during the rubberbanding my ping was consistant it was the data transfer that spiked.
