Disconnected Again and Again!

What is going on with the LAG and the disconnects? It keeps happening with every TFO and I end up with leaver penalties. My ship feels like it has a tipler cylinder stuck in rinse and repeat. Why is this happening?

    A lot of us have the same problem.. it started a few hours ago.
  • jonsillsjonsills Member Posts: 10,460 Arc User
    I was on this morning, no problems. This evening, I couldn't even get the button to start the TFO to acknowledge I'd pressed it.

    So I went to fiddle with a costume in CO (there's a costume contest next week for "Dark Reflections" - I plan to do an evil take on Hypernova). Got SNR'd in the middle of choosing a new chest symbol.

    Don't have the time (or, frankly, the interest) right now to run a tracert, as I'm expected in West Virginia momentarily. Given the lack of interference with other online services, however, I strongly suspect we're having issues with Akamai again.

    Same thing here.. I don't bother with it anymore.. I am sick of this TRIBBLE. As soon as this starts, I just log out and I am done for the day.

    I am sick of all this lag and all these server issues. Very frustrating, I find I am just better off taking a deep breath, letting it go and playing something less frustrating.

    Shame because this really is one of my favorite games.

    I wonder what the common factor is here that's affecting people. My local friends and I have had none of this happen to us during recent events.
    When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.
  • jonsillsjonsills Member Posts: 10,460 Arc User
    For me, salazarraze, the common factor is the time of day. Between about 5pm and 8pm Pacific, the connections between here and Cryptic have gone to Gre'thor for the past couple of days. (Before that, no problem.) I suspect Akamai shenanigans, or possibly something going on somewhere in cyberspace of which I'm unaware.

    I don't know if others experience this at those times, and I'm hoping the phenomenon ends before next Friday (the costume contest I mentioned starts at 4pm, and I'd hate for everyone to miss out on Hypernova's evil alternate Collapsar).

    It would be nice if Cryptic stepped up and gave fleet marks per TFO to the players who keep getting disconnected. I probably got a better chance of them fixing the problem in the first place.

    I just call this game 'lag roulette' in it's current state. After all the problems yesterday, today it's butter smooth without a hint of lag in anything I do. No disconnects, no lag or slow loading.. guess it just depends on the day. :lol:

    That's how it's been for me the past five days , some days go without a problem and then its a nightmare .

    Well today the exchange ate two ships and locked itself up. I can't price or post items. The TFO lag is back with a vengeance. It loves zooming in on my ship and forcing me to reorient my position as waves of bad guys suddenly descend upon my position.

    I had no problems taking my Rom Delta Recruit through a couple of missions earlier this afternoon.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Same here. Just been hopping in, dealing with reps, running the event and logging, maybe on 20 minutes... 5 days: one day that didn't have a server not responding, one day the account couldn't even connect after a SNR, one day of SNR VENGEANCE!!!!! (7 in the time I was trying to play) and one day of repeated 2 minute lag during the event...

    They ain't gonna fix it, if they were, it would already be done, they just want the money to keep coming in and sweep the problems under the carpet.

    They are trying to fix it, there is not a simple solution in this case. Do you think Cryptic likes that players are having this problem? No. They need money because this is a business and no they are not sweeping the problems under the carpet.

    As long as the issue has been going on, I am convinced that they're simply unable to fix it.

    Either that, or the fix is too expensive.

    This is completely ridiculous, I keep getting disconnected roughly 4-5 times an hour on average since the launch of 'House Divided' last week, it's driving me insane enough to sign a contract written by a Ferengi without reading it first, I did manage to get several hours without a disconnect last night from 10pm-1:30am EDT, so i thought whatever was going on had somehow been fixed, so far today since i first logged in around 3pm EDT, the issue seems to have returned with a vengeance, it's more annoying than Q, and i know that should mean something.
  • gaevsmangaevsman Member Posts: 3,190 Arc User
    I got disconnected from time to time too... but only when i log in or change chars... annoying, yes... but less that the first week of release on this expansion..

    I've been lucky in the d/c department. I do suffer a lot of rubberbanding in certain areas and I can work around that.

    Same, I get lag but disconnects are very rare for me.

    That's the best.. when you hit an ability and the lag makes the ability not fire, but it still goes on cooldown. Gotta love that! :lol:

    Disconnections aren't a problem for me its the rubberbanding. I've played less and less over last 7 days as getting fed up with it.

    Despite Cryptic having a survey, a Lag thread which has been removed in General Discussions and been looking into this since at least October last year which is 8 months, I feel assured that the issues we are seeing will still be here this time next year. That's if any of us decide to stick around
