Any official statement on the lags on EU servers?

Actually its not, try and play on a EU server. Everyone lags like there is no tomorrow.

Right, with this massive lags, can you not play.

Server: Woodman
Character: Prochief

Yesterday I had 15 20 ms latency and waterson was lagging like a crazy dumb, today the same, you guys had an increase in numbers of players playing the game and servers are being destroyed? This is good, but jesus, this lag and server problems coming from SOE is not new, in EQNL launch the servers broke, they took 2 weeks to solve the problems.

The people ask to fix the servers and SOE just don't care and this problems happens, everything break and stop working, much worse than a simple update or attention for a couple of weeks for the servers, 6 million of subscribed players planetside 2 has, I thank God that they are not playing, because if they were where they would be? I'll ask again but now with more drama to see if it works.
Fix the servers in name of God the only one, the Gods of Rome, the Gods of Greece and the God Vanu, the Purple One, in the name of the black holes of darkness and the quasars of light, please fix the servers.

I live in the same country as Ceres server (Netherlands) and I get a fluctuating ping between 150 and 550. While Matherson, on the other side of the ocean, gives me a very stable 120-140 ping.

Its beyond me how you can say that everything is working as intended. For the 3rd day now in a row, we are seeing a latency that sits at least 3 times higher than what we are used to with lag fluctuation that spike well over 2 seconds.

My average latency is 50ms in game before the patch and now it sits at around 150~200.
Its still playable, but in big battles it feels like the server or the connection isn't capable of handling it all and we are seeing horrible lag spikes, using equipment, entering/exiting vehicles and even mines, eventually everything becomes effected and than my only option is to call it a night and go play another game.

We already have outfit members who lose interest in playing and connect only to the teamspeak server to ask how the lag is and for a 3rd time in a row they will receive the answer, its the same as yesterday and still F<bleep>d.

Playing on Waterson from Europe, no problems at all.

You guys should really just give up on the EU servers.

No. Playing on Woodman last night. No crashes and no massiv lags.

Experiencing that lag since last patch, my usual ping was 80ms with a maximum of 110 during the derpy indar alerts, it's now going between 80 and 400 with huge spikes way above 1000. May be a coincidence but it also seems to spike more often when i'm killed or after changing loadout from a terminal.

Character : Gramr
Server : Woodman

I don't not usually experience any lag while playing (Woodman) other than the occasional rendering delay when I first deploy. Usually any lag I experience vanishes quickly once I begin to play. Last night, it was continually laggy and quite unplayable.

This has never happened to me in this game before

A few minutes ago, Ceres was unplayable. Woodman was a bit better, but some hours ago. After a while I had to log out because the game is frustrating.

CTD's have been a constant't, but rare event for me from day one tbh. I usually have at least 4 CTD's over any given week of playing 2-3 hours on average each day. The lag-spikes are new however - I've never before experienced that the game will freeze up entirely like it has done often in the last few weeks.

Name and server is in the sig.

I'm not a native English speaker. Are you saying there is nothing going on and everything is working as intended or the opposite?

Playing right now on Ceres (12:14 afternoon) and no more weird spikes. Seems to be related how busy the server is.
However my ping is still to high, between 35 and 70. I really should be getting between 20 and 35.
But maybe that's normal for EU servers since they are run by Pro Sieben?
(I am getting 120-140 on Matherson which is consistent with other online shooters)

Opened a ticket on eu.planetside2 page some days ago with a tracert, dxdiag and msinfo32.
No answer so far.

I would guess this has something to do with the Prosiebenshait.

Massive ping spikes, and I have gone from an average of 70 to 150 (the spikes can go as high as 4000)
Dvizer, woodman EU client.

the last few days also massive ping spikes: from normal 140 ms up to 5000 ms. Expecially during fights bigger then 20+
(Now consider a TTK from abt. 500 ms in PS2..)
unplayable... all moving objects warping like crazy

- Server: Miller
- Orginating: switzerland

Changed then to my alt on connery and get stabil 240 - 250 ms.

Question: since when is that ping indicator in the tab info screen (down right)

If you get 240 to the east coast (Connery) you really should be getting 40 to Miller not 140..
I get the feeling the EU servers, even without these current issues, aren't very good.

maybe the massive lag spikes are caused by this because it doesnt happen to me. i have always turned off IP flood protection because it was crashing other games on me in the past. my ping has raised by +60ms the last week or so. i can play on connery from ireland with a ping of 130-180ms, the EU servers recently are 100+.

the hitching i get and i noticed my HDD makes a noise at the same time so maybe its down to cheap drives. does anyone experiance it with an SSD?

Between this mysterious EU server lag, the graphical hitching introducing in PU2 and the more recent black-out bug, I find playing PlanetSide 2 is literally not an option at the moment.

Been enjoying Insurgency, actually.
