Lag on EU1 is just unplayable

[Strudog]

i havent had it until today, is there any chance this could be fixed?

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.

Isnt there an option for a server restart once a day??

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

My head can confirm that.

I want to rename my character "Merc_Mendro_Abandoned_By_dev" but they just refused it.
