Was in Pal'Lomen static zone at the Rallosian camp - where Dok spawns - and saw significant NPC spawn-in hitching. Over the course of a few hours, noticed hitching every spawn. This isn't over.
+1, tonight was the first raid we did since the hotfix. Lag was atrocious. Spell gems grayed out, cooldowns not working at all. This wasn't just for me, this was for several people in the raid. I will say... the actual mob spawn hitching was better! But the resulting lag was a much worse issue, and if we have to have one or the other then just give us the spawn hitching, because this was terrible.
I didn't experience this personally but it seemed to be related to log files and additional processing on the zone server (I think) happened to at least 20 people in a 54 person raid yesterday. Are you delaying the logs for the optimisation or something? The people who experienced it doesn't lag at all normally. So the mob was dead and they were still on 50% of the boss hp. Sometimes people experienced the fight fine and didnt lag, but couldnt cast too. Maybe related to buffs ? Its definitely all related to the hotfix please revert?
this was the camp we were at a couple of days ago on AB and had the same thing. certain places in zines? or zones themselves?
I have experienced this issue after the AB server was relocated. Gems freeze up, and packets are queued up and RaidEvent is staggered into a +5 to 30min longer fight. Loots are being distributed via chatchannel and I am still at 45% on Boss. I had 2 clients in the same raid, one experienced this, the other not. A VPN change fixed this issue for me, so I guess its client connection to EQ.
i play on AB and normally have no lag , after hotfix i lag out . in the raid i took part in yesterday it was impossible to follow emote as well as use aa and song bar grayed out as i could not follow emoted i died , and lag was so bad that after i took rez box i could not chose to take where to come in - and ended in GL as noted above my fight also had boss on 30-40% when rest of raid was doing loot in chat channels and yes , for those who give advice about normal lag fix , i have turn most grafik off, i run my eq on a ssd disk , i hide most of battlespam when i raid, i do /clear all for windows in game , my logfile switch automaticly on 25Mb, only programs running are gina and EQ (1 client) and my antivirus are turned off when i raid. i am the only computer on my internet connection which is fiber so roll back the hotfix or fix it, as it seem to break the game on AB when you raid zhay
Same thing, same raid. I was lagging like crazy, I was tasked with calling moving out of the aura and my guild said I was quite delayed on the first couple. I /hidemodels all and the lag went away.
As another example - casting Greater mass purify mana on enchanter, in PoK, lagged out for 12s after casting - spell bar un responsive. Then absolutely fine no issue.
I didn't try the group game but the raid game was totally unplayable yesterday. It didn't happen to most of the players but I can see that it happened harder to some classes (mages, bards, rogues). I don't know what you broke but I hope this isn't intended and that you'll emergency fix this, otherwise it'll be 1 month of vacations until next patch for most of us.
Are people posting here most from AB or also a few from other servers ? Seems scaling down on AB server ?
Whatever changed since last evening has improved my situation today. I can now multi-box again, both GPU and VRAM utilization are much lower upon opening multiple logins. Thank you!
We ran some raids Saturday night (on bertox) and I didn't notice any significant changes (good or bad) with respect to lag. GINA seemed to call out emotes just fine for PoM. I have GINA set to archive my logs once a day. I had full chat spam on so I could parse the event. I then did a single person test of Myconid Mutany. Prior to the out of cycle patch, when the mushroom spawned, I would get massive lag spikes. Even when I was the only one in zone. After the out of cycle patch I didn't notice any spawn lag.

Thanks for the feedback. The time budget for processing client/server messages has been made more tunable and that budget was reduced to help eliminate NPC respawn lag spikes (as noted). The current value isn't scaling well enough for highly loaded, i.e. raid, zones and messages can queue (adding latency) on slower systems. The current value targets a nominal framerate for the client of 60Hz, but unfortunately that's too high for some systems. We'll tune the budget upwards and find a sweeter value. For players experiencing new or increased lag, please PM me with your basic system specs. Thanks!
My computer is pretty much an antique - but usually happily runs 3 accounts (plus mercs) simultaneously with everything turned on. I lagged out totally since the patch - but only in raids. But so did others who have the latest and greatest computers I had everything, including logging, turned off in the raid in an attempt to be able to play. Had zero impact.
