Ding Dong, the lag is Dead!

Just went to a few different areas including Sector Space, Argala, and Delta Command and I had no lag in any of them. Thank you Cryptic.... about time :P

    Well it's a good thing for you, but i'm reading another story in the channels. Just look at the sector space, constant 600ms ping out there, then enter in a system and it disappaer :confused: :eek:

    I hit repeated rubberbanding, disconnects, and an absurd number of desyncs trying to do Gateway to Grethor to try and get marks to keep reputation daily running.

    The lag is not fixed whatsoever. But it was always internmittent. You just happened to get lucky.

    LAg is just as bad as it was.

    Just pugged in ISA and was rubberbanding all over the place. The end countdown timer to warp out with chugging down in 3-4 second chunks.....

    Did I expect it to be fixed ? Not really ?

    Do I think they actually did anything aside from add in some patch notes ? Not really.

    Guess another week will go past without me playing very much.

    Don't know why I bother with this game anymore, it's becoming a lost cause.

    From what I've read in these forums, they're attacking 3 sources of what you loosely call "lag."

    This past patch was only designed to fix one of them - I think it was lowered frame rates in sector space. What I read (in this forum) said they were also doing research at the network level and over time going to redo certain game features that weight heavy on the game servers in a way that we would see no difference but the cost in server resources would be significantly less for those features.

    Long story short, this was only 1 of 3 sources....

    Me, I haven't noticed any lag, must be my connection and how I play.

    wow really? Hmm well what ever that did it worked for me. I didnt get intermittent lag, for the past few months almost anything I do caused me to lag like crazy. Today however, I was just on for about an hour and a half, and I got lo lag what so ever.

    Hopefully they'll figure out everyone elses problem and get to them too. That being said, I hope I didnt just jinx it by making this thread :P

    I think people are missing the fact that there are different reasons for lag. Cryptic fixed one reason with this patch so YAY!, but traits are still broken and still cause other lag. Salamiinferno said it will be gradual fixes as they find and fix causes of lag.

    they said the lag is multi-issue

    I'm afraid it could be ages until it's fixed

    on top of that, I have no doubt that they are being shaken down by ddos and other things that compromise their service

    Dead? Not quite.

    In some cases worse than before. Rubberbanding is the main issue now, for me at least.

    I'm just curious - is there any hard evidence of a DDOS or other such nefarious activity being afoot, or is this an instance of a rumor thriving in the absence thereof?

    theres also a difference between Frame lag and connection lag.

    apparently the techs are working on the connection lag though at the servers. I hope they tell us what was wrong when they fix it.

    Yeeeah... Um... are you sure you're not sick?

    Lag is still ludicrous. If anything it's gotten worse.
    It is said the best weapon is one that is never fired. I disagree. The best weapon is one you only have to fire... once. B)

    Why would they even try? It would take ages before their ping request to even got through. They'll be like the rest of us, intermittingly timed out...:D

    Cogent provides connectivity to Netflix and Cryptic

    Netflix uses more Internet bandwidth than anything else on the Internet, especially in the evening when people come home from work and start downloading movies and TV shows for the night. Sometimes Netflix uses all of Cogent's bandwidth, or all of the bandwidth for the connections between Cogent and other ISPs (like Verizon, Comcast, etc), and Cryptic's traffic gets delayed or dropped.

    Cogent cares about Netflix much more than they care about Cryptic

    Problems will remain until Cryptic changes providers

    One of the devs replied in a thread about the server crashes we had a couple of weeks ago, he said they were caused by a DDOS attack and they were working on a way to stop it.

    Lag isn't dead yet. It just hit epic proportions (at least for me) in the DS9 area with massive rubberbanding and lag... couldn't get to the wormhole without having to expect a waiting time of minutes. I insta-logged off.

    Lag is far from dead, actually today the game is unplayable for me.

    Massive rubberbanding, multiple disconnects and 'server not responding' for 2+ minutes during missions.

    This right here. It is not unplayable for me, but pretty dang close when in any kind of STF.
