Dear friends, on the 30th I received a response to my in-game ticket I have opened regarding this lag spike / Pause lag issue. The reply was a very, very clever one I would've never figured that one out. I've been advised to update my VGA Drivers. Go figure...
The complete email was a pre-generated / written , general advise crap which has nothing to do with my problem. You know I would've understood if they advised me to check my local connection, or maybe if I'm on a wi-fi network , or just ask me to run a ping -t for 30 minute and send them a tracert to see maybe it's something network related. But no, instead they had to drop the driver bomb. I believe this problem of mine will ; 1) either get resolved on it's own (maybe after a server reset or maintenance) 2) it will never be fixed and I'll have to move away. Either way my sub is running and I cant play the damn game.
we'll see...
