Extreme latency in TT

[Godefroi]

Hey guys,

So since yesterday as we were all moving towards trakanon we had a lot of people experiencing extreme latencies in TT (including myself) with ms over 4000.

People based in the US , EU and also asia.

It seems to be still the case, anyone else experienced this?

Its been discussed at length in the bug forums, see the posts Nilbog links. However, Nilbog has been unable to determine this bug server-side and believes it to be a client-side issue. I don't know what the issue could be, I have not personally experienced any issues in TT. My common suggestion for "wierd zones" is to reinstall the zone files for whichever zone is giving you trouble. Try that and see if your latency improves.

I'm also experiencing this problem; It started exactly after the patch. I've tried reinstalling and the problem persists. Can't exactly go to seb with 10k ms :mad:

Its been discussed heavliy. I experiance some lag, but its nothing like I have seen or recieved petitions for to where I go LD or anything.

Following Deajay's idea may or may not work.

But another sugestion.
If your on a wireless router, maybe try playing wired, and see if that fixes anything.

I am having the same issue for couple weeks. Ive tried wired and wireless, population of zone doesnt seem to play an important role as ive experienced 5k ms with only 3-4 ppl in zone, and its not isp related (checked it from my office pc).

i have logged in to TT today on an older machine with a DSL connection to try and recreate some of these problems without any luck :(

After going to TT probably a thousand times on blue, I experienced this issue for the first time a few days ago on red.

Is this a common problem on other eqemulators? Or even back in the day on live?

Zone-specific lag on Live was common, but usually reserved for high-population zones (bazaar, NFP/EC). The other issue was most players were on dial-up vs. the DSL+ that's common for gaming these days. I doubt TT lag was classic, the only things in the zone are hunter/forager, PS, and VP/Seb key turn-in.

Started getting this in the last 2-3 weeks, but have not had issues in well over a year and a half of playing on this server. Im talking 5000+. Camping out and coming back usually clears it, at least for a while. Other times I have no issues. Have had deaths in TT due to this, real pain in the ass.

My friends and I are also often victims of this extreme latency / disconnecting in TT. It occurs at zone in and completely knocks us out of the game. For me it's roughly a 50% chance at zone in of being completely lagged out. This has resulted in quite a few deaths and difficulties!

Would be great to address this issue. Thanks for the hard work devs!

This has started happening much more frequently in the last 2-3 weeks


P.S. for the first time I am stuck in Trakanon with this bug, I cannot get out today. Every time I log in I get the latency bug, about 5 times now in a row!

Top 4 threads in this forum are now TT related... surely it merits some investigation? :(

It's simple. TT is the new Bermuda Triangle. Enter at your own risk.

Seriously though, I've checked a variety of different situations in Trak's Teeth with no luck. I could list out all the different things I tried, but in the end none of it proved beneficial. The only thing I can't check is physical location from the server.

Try logging into TT with a different character then the one that has been experiencing lag and see if that character is lagged as well. I've seen one player access 2 different characters. One was lagged, the other wasn't. There might be specific issues related to items/characters/spells that may not work in the zone and cause these issues.

Again, this is all just speculation from what I have played with and have seen. Do you guys have issues on one specific character or all characters in TT?

I experienced desync, massive lagspike, 2000MS + especially during US prime time.
During Euro hours ( or when sv population is less than 400 peoples) I have no problem.

To be honnest I am not sure if this issue begins since the last patch or few days after but it is each day(US primetime) and even more worse during weekend.

Seeya & thanks for your help
