Where are you located?

Eastern US. The address in my profile is correct. Please let me know if you need me to post the city here.

There is no autorun. Only autostop.

yeah exactly, I started to notice this "auto-stop" thing about 2-3 days after release. Your bot just stops if it on auto-follow and if you drive it yourself by pressing W you hop ahead big chunks. This game is hard on PvP and having ANY lag issues in PvP centered game = death for a game.

auster: I'm not sure what you're getting at, graphics performance/FPS has nothing to do with network lag.

On another note, it seems that today's patch has helped a lot regarding network lag.

Yes, FPS drop over time on the terrain is a known issue. But this is still offtopic here

I live in the PST (-8 GMT) time zone and the lag is extremely high on the weekends. I realize that it's probably due to more people being online. Once it gets into the evening hours and the EU TZ is sleeping the lag goes away.

Is anyone else  in the PST time zone experiencing the lag monster on the weekends like me? Are the Dev's aware of it? It makes the game relatively unplayable during the hours of massive lag

Those who are having lag issues post your computer's specs and your internet speed.  I have a fairly out-dated computer by today's standards (bottleneck = 8800 GTS 320mb) but a fast internet connection (20/15 Mbps) and have very little issue with lag. 

Also if you experienced lag on Sunday it may have been because of a big fleet battle on Beta's.  I know in Eve if too many people were fighting in one place it could effect the entire game and we've even managed to crash the servers in Eve before.  I was in the battle on Sunday and yes it was laggy; but no rubber-banding for me at all, just minor module delay.

I can counter that by saying that I can't run EVE on my computer but I can run two perpetuum clients just fine.

Also, to help the topic. There are two kinds of lag. Most people confuse graphical and client lag with server and connection lag. It would be nice to be able to see process time compared with connection lag.. Oh wait.. We already can in the profiler! It shows that the process time for most commands is almost nothing. Most lag spikes are due to the terrible routes in and out of Hungary. This will never be fixed unless the server moves to a more universally stable location.

Your connection and the routes your connection take cannon be controlled by the developers. Your computer may be able run the client but your connection simple isn't able to handle the awful route. Naming "Ping" as "Lag" has really not helped..

Open the in-game console with whichever key it is bound to and type "showfps 2" (This should be above 25 at all times if you want to be able to see the game smoothly. around 60 to 75 is the usually if V-Synced). If your FPS is awful then your computer is at fault.

Then type into the console "openprofiler" and go to the network tab. You'll expect to see a nice steady graph. If the red line is barely moving off 0 and the white line is all over the place it is your connection to the server which is something that is very hard for anyone to easily control. Anyone outside Europe will struggle at the moment and anyone with a high packet loss connection will not be able to play. A stable connection and a nice even graph while moving around means you're probably able to play. The graph will only update if you move, active modules or do anything that sends a packet to the game server.

This can be worked around in the client and I would hope the Devs are making every effort to keep you and the server connected but it isn't as easy as it sounds.

I hope some of this helped.

For the past few days, it has become impossible for me to play. I get NA status for a few hours and I can't even move to a teleporter properly. The game was playable for me until Sunday, wonder what was changed? I'm situated in Singapore.

Hi Prepetuum Dev team.

I'm also from New Zealand and having the same lag issue, auto-stop disconnects and crash.

It's good concept game, however not sure how many players your server can handle, 10k ? Eve can gose up to 50k 60k, although massive lag with allies fights.

But Prepetuum I lag out even alone killing npc its a joke? I got killed once by lagged out and I spoke to a GM in game. He told me they could't my lost bot log anywhere and I said but I did lost my bot, I just don't know what else I can say to convinces him. It's just ridiculous you can't find the log in your system, ok thats fine its only a mark II noob bot, what if its an expensive 2, 5, 10 mils bot ?

Also the stupid 2800 extension points to remove your character what a dumb idea. I just want to reset my account as instructed. I never have issue with any other mmo removing a toon or account. I don't have any extension points at the time and I have 2 characters so I have to wait 4 days to remove both toons. It's wasting my time and money, for God seek just let me remove my character and let me reset my account...!!!!!

Please do something Dev Team

Sac.

Any kiwis out there that can get a better connection with a VPN tunnel, please let me know how.  Mine is twice as slow with AnchorFree, obviously not a solution for NZ
