I've noticed it for a longer time now, like two weeks. Often it feels okay, but then suddenly you teamhit people behind you with stabs. Or animations don't bother to play causing you to get hit randomly. Hit detection of overheads in general is terrible, which I think can be attributed to server lag as well. If you are skeptical about the lag, try to play with a long maul. Probably due to the slow speed the delay is very noticable on overhead hits. I have had occasions where it literally took half a second after the animation hit the floor before my overhead hit suddenly connected.

I think this has always been somewhat noticable, but now I can really clearly see arrows fly past me, only for me to die a fraction later from that same arrow. Same thing the other way around. See missiles hit a target dead on and going straight through.

This is all definitely server side because I've had countless occasions where I would comment on some bullshit lag thing in teamspeak and clanmates spectating or standing close confirming that they saw the exact same thing. Wouldn't call it unplayable, but it is really getting frustrating now so perhaps try a server restart or something.

For me it has got rather unplayable, overheads not connecting, side swings that go through the body, people stabbing me from a mile away, being shot 10s after the bolt has gone past my head, horse running into walls when i have passed them.

Works perfectly fine here, it's probably something on your side. Have you checked your cables recently?

Internet seems to be fine where i am, have asked a few people on the server and they say that they are experiencing it to, probably not as badly as me as they are still able to play

From my previous experience with this mod, server lag rarely affects whole community. There was time when I and people who live in same area had massive lag while Croatians didn't have any issues at all. And there were times when I had stable ping and they had over 150.

It is mod related but it also probably has something to do with routing on ISP side.

I asked about cables because I had serious issues which started a year ago. Few weeks ago I had to call tech support to fix my internet. Reason was completely trashed internet cable.

Yeh i agree with all of the above, I've had this horrible server lag for probably a month now and has forced me to not want to play anymore much. and no one believed me at first buts it's becoming a more common issue which hopefully means they can fix this as they don't seem to care for crpg anymore :(

Yeah Leshma, it's totally on his side when dozens of other people are reporting the exact same thing.

I thought people were complaining about the lag that is pretty always there but then I went to EU1 yesterday. I take a swing and am like "what ?? How the fuck did this go throu... *hit connects*" oh ... that was late".

Its not even lag spikes. Feels like a constant delay of 0.5 - 1 second for every player input.

kinda seems that the slower/longer an animation is,  the more it fucks up.  long maul,  lhb on horseback,  they rly kill it and i gotta rejoin the map to fix it.

Also phasing through people and weird rubberbanding. Best one yet was when I was facing someone as a shielder and he hit me in the back from the front.

I have attack animations that start half way trough for both myself and my enemy, impossible gameplay tbh currently.

Its always happening when servers are 40+

The worst part of it all, is that melee players are opting on playing as ranged to avoid these melee "supernatural" encounters.

This has become unplayable for me, its gradually getting worse

For me it's usually unplayable too - on both EU1 and EU2.
Though occasionally, usually not dependant on the amount of people, everything is absolutely fine.

M:BG is't going to arrive anytime soon, don't make our pasttime meanless :P

It has been decent over the last week for me, but today for some reason it was awful on EU2. As if I was playing with extra high ping (and I usually play with 100+), hits going through my shield only to later see the guy move behind me and release, going through closed doors, falls, etc...

Noticed, that EU1,2 just gone from my list of servers, it doesn't shows in, is it problem on my side, or it really gone and not exist for now?

What do people think now? Is it better? I still feel like the models collide very strangely, pushing through people etc

Shortly after I made my complain thread at technical issue-board it got better for me while others are still experiencing the same problems. So maybe just provider problems? hard to tell, really.

I've had this problem on EU2 for several days now. Usually my ping is stable ~45, now it's been lucky to stay below 100. Everything seems out of sync and it's pretty much unplayable.

Post by: CrazyCracka420 on October 28, 2013, 06:36:47 pm
They restarted the servers last night (around 10pm -5 gmt, so middle of the night EU).  Have you confirmed if that helped at all?
Title: Re: Lag on EU1 is just unplayable
Post by: korppis on October 28, 2013, 06:43:50 pm
Nope didn't help. Not for me at least.

I have nearly the same problem. On mornings up to 14-15 everything is OK, but in the evening my ping is doubled and even worse. I cheked my connection with other host servers and it's as good as it should be, only here it's broken. Dunno what I can do... Strategus battles are not funny with such a ping.

That's how I've had it with the old server. 65 ping on early mornings, 180 at evenings (more than on NA). Later I had 180 all day. With this server I ping 45-50 constantly. :shock:

Will this be fixed in the new patch? Or still a mystery?
