Server lag ?

Recommended Posts

Is it me or the servers are VERY laggy right now?

 

Not that I notice. I'm sitting at 45ms right now. But I would assume a couple of factors would be needed to know such as where in the world are you located and what ISP your using.

 

That way anyone else who is having issues if they are may be in the same general location or have the same ISP.

I'm almost certain this is an instance overpopulation issue. On some planets that usually have lower populations, like Quesh, I've never experienced server side lag. Other constantly populated planets like Coruscant always seem to have ~1 second ability lag in instances with 100 or more people. If I can find an instance with 75 or fewer people, the ability lag is markedly improved. In both instances I had a connection of around 40ms, which is normal for me.

 

IMO, they should reduce the number of people per instance on lower level planets quite drastically. Between the ability lag and competition for kills, I can't imagine being in an instance with 100+ people is a good experience for new players.

Thanks for the tip, I switched instance and it's now working very well !

had this problem yesterday on Alderan,just finished tattooine and that was finegot to Alderan which had only 2 instances and both were so laggy i couldnt even play even though i was 27ms, was like my graphics card struggled (wasn't the case though) had to log another toon did a few dailys else where and all was fine.

 

so strange this has mostly been reported on Ossuss but getting worse since 5.10 elsware.

Definitely not just you, can't even play for more than a few minutes before freeze ups due to server lag make the game a pain to play. Everything else I play runs just fine but SWTOR is a no go so far...

 

By chance are you playing a Sith Warrior with Vette out as a companion?

No, and I have tried changing the dns, disabling Bit Raider, lowering graphics even though my PC is new, I have followed every piece of advice accept disabling my antivirus in order to play and nothing has helped to date...
