Not out of the woods yet, a small 7 on 7 there was horrendous lag had by others in TS and warping around today.  I on the other hand only had spotty lag here and there.  It was around a small tree patch.

and here you're right. There are problems with autopilot and plants. It happens cause of autopilot builds a path, using your local terrain data. Each time he encounters with changes - he trying rebuild the path "on the fly". TBH not everything is good yet in there.

We weren't autopiloting in yesterday's brawl.  It happens when lists of explosion, shooting of plants etc...  Honestly if they could just turn off the mechanic that spreads damage, it's cool in theory and concept but it's creating an undesirable side effect in pvp that weighs more than clearing plants.

One more tip: Check if your squad window closed. If it's open - close it forever.

Game where you can't have a ~7v7 without warping around the screen every time something blows up isn't a game, it's an abortus.

Fix the code.

Re: LAGS!

oh, while your at it
things that are unconfirmed reasons for lag spikes in pvp that you should remove:

1. AoE explosions
2. teleporting with pvp flag or during the grace time the server records data for killmails
3. roaming npcs
4. Burial using Vagabond
5. Gamma outposts
...

Re: LAGS!

Yes, Had several instances where lagged to N/A ping and had to close client to refresh. Didnt lose any bots while I was lagging but had to wait several times before having a stable connection to pvp. Many were not lucky enough to fix issues before fighting started and ended.

Re: LAGS!

Also, when jumping to another island my client likes to completely freeze. I have to launch task manager to close the client and restart. This happens 90% of the time when moving to another island.

Re: LAGS!

We have probably found the issue with plant-related lags. In theory, when a plant is damaged or is destroyed, the server would send you an update only for the affected tile (about plant presence, plant health, and blocks).

Well it looks like this is not the case, as it sends you a package about the whole 64x64 tile sector where it happened. That's a lot of unnecessary traffic (about 10kb per update event).

We're working on a fix.

Re: LAGS!

its a good chance to fix terrain update in general. running around with 150 kph and seeing terrain updating those 64² tiles only a few pixels infront of you isn't that appealing either.

and the question is - why can you make the terrain update in those 64² chunks, but not do a seamless continent bigger then the current 2048² maps ?

Re: LAGS!

By the way, I want to say, I never noticed the lag when shooting at the plants...
After the last movement of the server, personally I have no lags.
