Recently I've been having insane amounts of ridiculous lag, the kind that makes people warp around, teleporting vanguards and magriders dogfighting ESF's in the Indar skyline. It mostly starts during peak hours, about 21:00 GMT +2, but recently I started having them at noon too. Needless to say, before coming here, I checked all my other online games, in none of them did I have a ping over 80ms. I also checked via speedtest.net and my internet speed is 100% correct. This makes me really upset since I dedicate most of my spare time to Planetside 2, I love the game, I support the game via membership, but at this rate I can't really do anything besides sit in the WG and chat with my outfit, due to what seems like at least a 8 second delay between my input and any game response. Also I don't know if it helps, but I play without a router, no firewall except the one windows comes with, and when I log out due to frustration the loading seems to freeze at 32%, though the loading bar keeps filling, resetting, and filling again till I am eventually kicked to desktop. Miller EU btw. I hope some of you guys will have an answer for me, I really don't want to give up, but I just can't possibly play like this. Thanks.
Started getting this today. MASSIVE server lag, both in Waterson and Mattherson. Simply unplayable. I was trying to play with two friends, both of whom share the same ISP with me. One was having no problem, while the other experienced my lag as well. Simply unplayable.
Same, can play for about 5 minutes, then warping everywhere. and i'm certain it's not a problem on my side...also on miller
A few people I play with regularly have been having this issue. Odd. I wonder if something has changed SOE end which is causing latency issues for some client connections? Possibly a poor route?
I just wanted to report that we are experiencing the same thing on Connery although not nearly as pronounced as the OP describes, I have been consistently experiencing periodic lag of 1-3 seconds at least since PU01-02. What really annoys me as much as the lag experienced while in action is the lag experienced at Infantry Terminals. I will press E and find that there is no response, so I will unconsciously start spamming E and when the terminal decides to be responsive I enter and immediately exit. This is actually EXTREMELY frustrating. You would think that with the amount of revenue this game is accruing, the size of the player-base, and the supposed technical prowess that is Sony that these issues would not exist. It is baffling that this game runs so poorly and is so full of bugs. I really do hope that SOE gets their act together and addresses the bugs before releasing any additional content. I would certainly appreciate having responsive Infantry Terminals over Generation 2 Halloween Horns and a Crossbow, let alone the myriad other bugs being addressed. SOE, please, PLEASE, get your act together.
I urge anyone who has been getting these lags to file a ticket to SoE support team. That ought to help much more than a forum post that goes unnoticed unless it has 4 pages.
Im not sure what happened but I cant play on Miller EU... from time to time I get huge lag, stuff starts warping around and if I was disconnected, after 5-10 mins it goes back to normal... but then it happens again a few minutes later... its weird... ps. I tried the US servers... and there I can play normally, no lag problems at all, even in 48+ huge battles... ps2. Im from EU, Portugal...
