PoliteAssasin Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Ever since tuesdays patch, I and others in the guild/friends have been experiencing severe lag, especially in warzones. It's basically freezing, then dying. Respawn, repeat. It sort of cleared up a bit late last night, but right now i just got out of two matches where all I did was freeze and die. Saw a few others complaining in chat about it as well, but wondering if more are experiencing this from here specifically. I know other servers are reporting the same issues. Can't really pvp when your screen is essentially a screenshot for most of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoliteAssasin Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 I have no clue what you're talking about. Nope. Pfft, I got 80k earlier. Beat that. I know its not my connection, because when I lag out vent is fine. And numerous others are reporting the same issue, just check the multiple threads in the CS forum. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feliix Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I'm on Begeren Colony, and play sub-55, 55 (non-ranked) WZs regularly. No lag at all since 2.0 patch. I'm on the west coast, on a high end PC with 2560x1600 screen. Using graphics settings suggested by Nividia (all pretty much at highest settings). Once in a great while, I'll run into the ability activation lag issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnzoTiger Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I am not sure if it has something to do with the 2.0 patch or not, someone said something about Disney buying Star wars and the game being effected through the transition of servers... I honestly have no idea what they meant. BUT I am getting so much lag its getting to the point where I don't care to play the game anymore. I NEVER lagged before, my connection is great, yet It lags like crazy and its SUPER annoying. Location: Houston, Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoliteAssasin Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 The multitude of people in the CS forums, including me, have had the issue since 2.0, specifically the last patch from this past tuesday. It's not my internet, and its not my computer. I sincerely doubt a large portion of player PC's or routers will just malfunction at the same time.

Boch Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 This seems to happen every time they do a patch, not the first time we have had this topic. This is the worst it has been in a long time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnzoTiger Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 If you're using suggested settings odds are just max it out and it'll run fine. Its not the graphics... I used FULL TOP graphics and I had Lag, and I used LOWEST graphics and I still had the same Lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gossmanster Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I've been seeing both, more lag than usual in Fleet, and network latency to the point of dc in warzones. Really annoying in Novare last night where I lost west twice because I was "server stunned". I'm sure the latency is on their side and its the worst I remember it since launch. They're pretty proud of their new server architecture, but I think the influx of interest because of RofHC is taxing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhakail Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I have hit lag spikes that have compleetly disconnected me. I get the red x every three minutes ans spend most of the game now on only one bar. This has only started since 2.0b. Maybe it will be fixed with the next patch...

bsbrad Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Last night I was experiencing the same issues and after running network diagnostics back to my ISP confirmed that it wasn't my connection to my router or via the ISP as I had a consistent 15 ms ping and a 35 MBps connection to my ISP. As most of the hops back to Bioware are blocked the best guess is that one of the ISPs on the route was causing this issue, normally these issues can be traced to an overloaded switch. Unfortunately this may not be Biowares fault and there may not be a lot that they can do. It appears that most of my fellow guildies were fine, a couple of us based in N. California were experiencing the lag (I was geting server lag reports from the game upto 15000ms, but more commonly 70-1000ms, my normal is 45ms) The only possible solution Bioware could do is to add another backbone into their server location allowing an alternative traffic route, i.e. if they are currently leasing a Comcast line, maybe add a Hurricane line etc... This would relieve some of the traffic issues from the clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsbrad Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 and the possible reason (speculation) why this has just started occurring since the release of the patch could be that the machine that is hosting Begeren Colony when rebooted released it's IP address and routing information and was put on a different backbone. I have noticed that after every major reset there is typically one of the servers that are experiencing major lag. A competent network analyst or systems administrator should be able to pinpoint where the issue is, whether it is internal (a switch, router, server etc..) or on one of their leased lines (if so they should contact their ISP and demand a better route) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnzoTiger Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 My question to Bioware or whom ever is currently incharge of this game: Why are we lagging???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sithheroes Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 hmm I must be lucky, I lagged once yesterday for about 5-10 minutes in the middle of a HM flashpoint and then it went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JenseitsvonBose Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 I've been noticing this, especially in warzones, since the 2.0 patch. No idea why it'd just be in warzones, but I haven't noticed anything particularly out of the ordinary while going through Makeb. I haven't run an op, yet, so I can't speak on that, either way.

Immortaldroid Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Really bad for me, too. Granted, I live in Florida, here on the East coast (Why didn't I look at the location!?) But it's still pretty phenomenal. I can't go a day without 1 hour of just an X for bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
