Topic: Last patch or two broke the game again.
During the first few days of release perpetuum was using a lot of bandwidth, if you were running 3 or 4+ clients on a DSL connection then you were pretty much maxing out your connection. This caused massive lag and basically made the game unplayable. The problem is made massively worse the more players around you.
Within a week a patch came out and the problem went away, completely fixed.
Within the last day or two they released a patch and the problem is now back. Once again the game is unplayable if you're into using multiple clients. I'll be closing most of my extra accounts if the problem isn't fixed, because there's no point in having them if each client is transfering stupidly huge amounts of data and causing everything to lag for me.
It's not like i'm on dialup or anything, this kind of problem isn't to be expected for someone who is using a DSL connection (8mb). My bandwidth jumps to 300-400 download and 100 upload when i'm moving around in perpetuum. My ping goes from a stable 50 to N/A, sometimes lowering to about 12,000 for a second or so.
I've also ran line tests on my line, I achieve 8000+ throughput, that means that my ISP is giving me exceptionally good quality service.
