Topic: Yo Devs, LAG WTF?

Devs, seriously this lag on Beta/Gamma is getting to an unbearable level.  PVP engagements are turning into who lives closest to the server.  We got people dropping out mid fights dieing, 9K ping for periods of 10~30 seconds even for people on low settings.

You NEED to test this immediately because if the population hits in the 1000's this game is dead in the water.  Stop burning up toasters and let's get some LIVE server testing going on with people.

My two cents, balls in your court.

Re: Yo Devs, LAG WTF?

reminds me of that time i had to get a reimbursement for my old Tyrannos because of Lag while fighting NPCs on beta.

But yeah, if the game gets Greenlit, the lag is something that will need to be taken care of!

Re: Yo Devs, LAG WTF?

I sometimes lag and sometimes not, haven't seen anything bad happen in fights(other then server crash once). I I'm running with 60-150ms ping.

Very serious game breaking bug with PvP in Beta/Gamma.

I had PvPed here for over a year and took a break.  Whatever changed occured in the last few months.

We went from smooth fights with many people up to 100 sometimes with very little issues to 20 guys that are frozen and clients crashing with unplayable lag bombs.


very very bad

please fix and if we can help in any way to demostrate this, just ask

Re: Yo Devs, LAG WTF?

i am pretty sure the countless player buildings, that each have their own accumulator mechanic, are not the reason for any overload of the server. 200 defense turrets, each an idividual "NPC" is probably not as much as EVE drone spwarms, but who knows...

tower defense games also never start to drop framerates towards the end of the level big_smile

this lag occurs on beta and gamma. my guess is still that something weird is going on with the explosions, i.e., the aoe damage. this is basically an issue that affects everyone. when you engage, you never know who will lag out. very frustrating. please fix this as fast as you can

Re: Yo Devs, LAG WTF?

its not just on beta / gamma, even on alpha side there are lagspikes - mostly near/in static spawns.
They came up the same time as the issue with the lag lines and got even worse over the past few months.

Re: Yo Devs, LAG WTF?

I have experienced to forms of lag.  One is definately when a bot explodes and plants crumble.  This also happens a bit when the wind blows and the plants die.  The other time is when there are a lot of objects rendering on the terrain window. 

Now if you get 20 players on the screen, bots exploding, plants dying, and you are near Gamma base, well you can just sit back and hope that all is well when the Nia dust settles.

Put 1000 people on one gamma island and I think the underwear on the server-doll will rupture.

Some people play checkers, some play chess...  Once in a while you can find a guy playing GO.  The former is prey, the secondary is a teacher, and the latter is a general.
