Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.
Hope something comes of this, the lag in this game is miserable.
Survey done.
I'm pretty sure it's mostly location-specific. It's been fine here over in the UK.
Props for the team for trying to address it.

Second is that I've run tracerts during periods of lag and rubberbanding in the past, and even then, the tracert often looks pretty good (hops not too long, not too many missed packets etc.). I've been of the opinion for a long time that the lag problem isn't with 'internet latency' or bad hops. If it was, it would affect other games on the same days that pass through similar Internet hops.
The issue is with the packet handling and protocols between the client and the server, between Cryptics various servers (account, game, map, etc.), and more recently, between using Akamai as a net filter and Cryptics own software. Unfortunately it seems the only focus at Cryptic is finding ways to blame lag on 'outside influences' rather than analyzing their own internet protocol handling.
I always love seeing people who think they are an expert in how running a server works, especially a massive public worldwide service that depends on speed and safety...
Yet you just seem to know they're wrong even though you post nothing but smug little insults to back up your perspective.

Well, I put "no" for lag so I didn't get that part.
Same way here, I have really good internet and game online without issues outside of STO. I also have a high end PC built for VR gaming, so it's not that either.
For years though, people used to say this game lagged, and I always wondered what they meant because I saw literally none of this lag.. ever. Over the last year though, it's started hitting me and when it happens, man is it bad. It's just strange because there are days I log in and it's literally as smooth as you could ever want. No skips, no rubber banding, no hiccups.. just the constantly smooth game play experience I would expect given my PC and connection speed. Then there are other days I log in and I can't even do DoFFing because I click to finish a mission and it takes 10-30 seconds to even register the click.
It's the strangest and most frustrating thing ever. I do appreciate that they're looking into this and I really hope they're able to find the problem.
Ten to one, they ain't looking into this, its just lip service. They have KNOWN for years and done nothing. They want us to do their work for them. Then if its to expensive, they will just come up with some lame excuse.
You may not be wrong there we will just have to wait and see. Kael was asking for data back In October 2019 and there is a sticky thread Lag Hunting Data Submissions round 2 which was created December 2019. We are at the end of May and 8 months on and the Lag and Rubberbanding is no better. I'd say its been even worse Thursdays 28th May Patch
