huge lag problem

[jrlg23]

tonight around 2 hours ago a huge lag came in a mest up my ping from 180 to 320. u might be saying thats still ok but the thing is it didnt go back down from that point. wen i check how many players was on it was only 348 i hould not had such a lag. i ask around i notice i was not the only one after a momment i killed a player a group killed me the game didnt load. is just impossible to play at the momment:fury:

Sometimes the internet breaks, did you run a traceroute to see where on the line it started crapping out on you? If not, then for all you know, maybe it was your isp that hiccupped :(

[jrlg23]

is no the isp my internet is running fine but that lag was huge to freeze the game like that

that's the internet, it goes in many directions from your comp, but some directions might be better than others, and some directions might collapse from time to time

While the internet maybe to blame but it is far more likely that it is a server problem. A high ping time does not instantly mean it is an internet problem. The device at the other end can and does cause the ping to be artificially high.

oh noes
mah internetz breaked

:angel1:


ok seriously. the lag problem behaves strangely.
sometimes it kicks in at 250 players online, then it gets better even if the numbers raises to 450 and then it gets quite horrible again at 500+.

on other days i can play with 500+ players and almost notice no lag

I did not speculate, I only pointed out that without a traceroute it's silly to blame something when there is no evidence supporting your claim (:
