Bad lag on Golden Age

Post by Gloin » Sun Jan 05, 2014 1:21 am

Seeing as nobody has made a post yet...

Golden Age has been lagging extremely bad lately, everyone's been experiencing "Jump lag" where you'll move forwards or backwards about half a screen or so.

Also sometimes when you warp into a system, it'll automatically teleport you to the other side of the system instantly.

Anyone else please post your problems so Toonces can have an easier time diagnosing/fixing the issues

Gloin is right. I've been experiencing similar lag on all servers, but GA especially. I noticed it more so in the last month than ever before. In fact, I don't think that I have ever had problems with jump lag since like a month ago.... So please fix.... and bring back them sexy blue gravs!

The game "Skipping" on GA been like that for at least a year, most likely a server issue on Toonces end. The lag has been pretty bad game-wide especially GA and myself and other have noticed that FPS has gone way down with video past month or two.

I have a EVGA Nvidia GTX 660 2 GB GDDR5 Ram vid card, I think I should get better frames then 25-30 FPS. Even when the game did not have the lag issue it does now my old EVGA Nvidia 9800 GT 1 GB GDDR3 RAM vid card got 60-70FPS so something is not kosher.

Usually when a skip happens every player experiences it identically. Individual ping doesn't seem to matter a lot.

What deuce said, my ping over the years has been around 70-80. As of late it is anywhere between 90-150 for no rhyme or reason. Also my FPS has taken a dump as well, averaged 60-70 fps and now I can hardly get 30-40 stable and I have a much better video card now. My old one is in another computer and it gets 30-40 as well so i know it's not the new card.

As far as the skipping everyone on the server experiences it at random times, it "rubber bands" you all over systems and colonies.


One more thing a friend that plays GA gets 95% packet loss only on Golden Age, no packet loss on any other server he claims.

If that is the case then that's a good clue. Also if it happens more on golden age than other galaxies that's also a clue. I will look into this asap.

I am going to harp on this. I am getting 95% packet loss on ga but no packet loss on any other server
