Serious Latency Issues.

[*Biohazard89]

Have the Server been moved Geographicaly? Because im getting Latency issues like nothing before.

[*cryptc]

yes

[*Biohazard89]

Im guessing either US or AU?

[*cryptc]

Antarctica :P actually I'm not sure, doesn't really matter where it is in the world

[*Biohazard89]

Kinda matters to me since ive gone from a Ping of 45 to a Ping of 350+ :P

We know about the lag, and we're working on solutions.

I must say I like the lag situation right now.

Apart from some visual artifacts and problems with picking items up (manual dragging) there's the unintended feature of monsters ignoring my character; mostly.

I can walk up to their face and sneak attack till they die (no hide skill, just an odd sneak attack level).

I'm curious if this is actually fixable or simply a side effect of moving the server to somewhere just too far away for some of us :( .

[*Calletjump]

perhaps a different host-computer? one that is able to boost the signal that it sends or is a dedicated-only computer to hosting the server?

[*Mr_Otyugh]

Some additional fixes were made to the lag issues which should make them more tolerable. We're still observing and seeing if we can do other alternatives.

Pardon the inconveniences and thank you for your patience as always.

Any idea what is causing the huge lag?  Transitions take more than 5 minutes for me, monsters don't fight back, looting is difficult and talking to vendors has about a 20 second delay.  :(

I believe this thread will provide the answers to your question.
