Yeah, Conney is unplayable for me in a big fight. If I go to the sanc gate - it's not that bad - but anytime I'm in a really big fight now - it just goes straight to hell. Sometimes it will come out of it and I can play normally for a while but others ... it's off to one of the low pop servers/continents. This is something that had manifested itself over the last few weeks. Before that I didn't have this problem. Character movement is severely restricted. I make a motion with the mouse and only several seconds later does that motion take place on the screen - and then in slow motion. Ran off the top level of a Tech Plant because of that ... When I'm lagging - it even effects me in map mode. I wrote a bug report about it and it was lagging like hell while I was doing that, the letters just slowly appearing on the screen as I typed. This only occurs while playing PS - and - when I'm in the vicinity of a big fight. All this started a couple of updates ago but had gotten progressively worse. .
On Connery, Gameplay is extremely laggy, even in smaller fights. It doesn't take platoon v. platoon any more. Medkits will not work when it's this laggy. Deaths feel random. This has been a persistent problem for over a week now and it is destroying my interest in the game. I have tested my connection thoroughly and even recruited my ISP to test packet loss, latency ... we have checked for connection flapping (micro-disconnects) & the stability of the data rate - everything is pristine. My connection when playing other games is pristine as well, obviously. However, Connery on PS2 is awful and laggy as hell. If it's not fixed in a reasonable time frame I'm just going to give up on this game altogether - which I don't want to do, because I like this game. But I will if I can't have a fun experience while playing it. And right now I'm not having fun.
Submit a ticket, work through the process. I had lag from the July 4th weekend up to GU13 and have no complaints now.
.. Are you serious? That has nothing to do with your connectivity. I already did that because I was one of the lucky people who was blackscreening after the patch anyway.
Now I know this thread is almost a year old... But I've just started having this problem. Normally when I play, I get a (somewhat ******) ping of 110-150. Now, whenever I try to play it will stay at my regular ping, but then go up to 1000+ ping and beyond, making the game unplayable. I've done nothing on my end to make this lag, so I think its SOE. If anybody has a fix, that would be great!
