Gaspydandrum Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hey everyone, It seems that the past few days the server has been really quite laggy and I checked my router and connection and it's fine everywhere else but in the game so I'm wondering if it's a server-side issue and if there's been any word on maintenance to improve connectivity and server stability? Thanks! Gasydandrum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped_i Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 The server lag is *****. This game doesn't have much going for it, having issues like this makes it super *****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanplex Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 We just recently had a discussion about this in our guild, the public thread can be found Here and the link to the software referenced can be found Here. Unfourtantly lag can be caused by many different issues but I hope that the suggestions listed prior at least help to alleviate some of your issues!

MrLargo Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Indeed, horrible lag. Tried to lvl my Jedi Shadow a bit yesterday but was like the toon was stuck in tar. Server ping was good but it felt like having 2-3k ms ping. Just got frustrated and logged off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theeko Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Same here internet fine off the game, but in the game spikes to red 1 bar almost every time I try and do stuff on fleet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thordrin Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 No matter what server i make a toon on 5 minutes in, my lat bar shows a red X and lat climbs to 60K plus before i have to crash the game. Team speak, Vent, Skype, as well as my Steam, Xbox live, Playstation Network, World of Warcraft, and Star Trek online have 0 issues and all run smooth. This all started after this last patch.

dyharras Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I have also been having problems, I think is started after the shadowland server crash I little but ago. I just wish that they would let us know if they are aware of the situation, and are working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppinswtor Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Surprisingly hasn't been too bad on this end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoyobear Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 The lag has been weird for me. When I am in ops or in PvP, I don't have much if any lag but if I am doing heroics on some planets, Belsavis, it like i am walking around in slow motion. My ping is good but all my attack are delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocDAM Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Normally, it has only been Odessen that has been horribly laggy, but it's been getting progressively worse in other locations with each passing day this week. Belsavis. Almost unplayable lag right now. Abilities sometimes won't fire. Edited November 21, 2015 by DocDAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rantank Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I've been running pingplotter and my tunnelling software watching for the spikes in the connection. I get the lag, the red X, and usually the DC, but my software doesn't even show a blip. My connection seems stable until suddenly it isn't. I used that TCP optimizer and it disabled all my network drivers... not sure what it's trying to tell me..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belegnole Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I have also had delayed effects. Abilities not firing etc. Meanwhile my server lag is usually normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOMAAK Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I cant even play right now. I'm getting spikes up to 300+ ms ping on server. It's really annoying!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TattooYoda Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 It's not our connection end.If you look around the planets the dead mobs are stacking up.Tor server cashe is building up cause the server lag. This all happen after Tuesdays messed up patch. The only place I seen that the lag get cut in 1/2 is in Instances for Heroics. good luck hope they fix it soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocDAM Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Short term workaround: If one is available, try switching instances. Today some were near unplayable and when I switched to another instance, it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazombie Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I've heard some talk it was due to mobs not de-spawning, if you go around you will see groups of dead mobs that are not clearing and all that additional ground clutter is whats causing the lag issues.

Should be unrelated. It's server lag, not graphical lag. Like I'll just be parsing alone on my ship and I see my connection go from 4 to 2 to 3 bars randomly then back to 4. It's not super frequent but it's noticeable and can cause ability lag sometimes. Edited November 22, 2015 by OMGITSJAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiraldom Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I had serious lag all day yesterday. Fighting was almost impossible. I spent most of the time crafting. This morning it was better, but it is back to super lag now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more mob bodies on the ground, the worse the issue seems to be. The server is lagging because of these caches. More data having to move back and forth between multiple clients and the server is bottlenecking things. At least...that's what it seems like. Any reply from EA regarding this issue?

Tholdiel Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I noticed last night that dead bodies were not re-spawning they were stacking up at least this is what I saw and in those areas it became extremely laggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKnightJ Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Whatever the issue is, it seems to be affecting some of us in operations as well. Many of us in 16-man S&V experienced 4-7 fps throughout the operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
