Lag latlely in the server

Zilas

Hi there. Am new here. The server is pretty cool and i have a lot fun. But latlely the server is very lag, specially when it's "busy". I think the gm must fix the the problem becouse in time there will be more people playing in the server so lagging problems would be worse.

Muh

Hi there,
The "busy" you refer to is just the clients intepretation of how many characters are online and doesn't tell anything else.

Can you provide more informations on what you experience?
When you say lag, does your client freeze but monsters move / are at another position after the lag?
Also can you tell your location and if you tried any proxies.

@Muh Personally i can say that the really bad lag i had after the new patcher is gone..

but everytime i'm farming and someone teleports into my screen, i get a roughly 5 sec frozen screen.. and sometimes a random 4-5 sec lagspike
loading a map comes with an initial lagspike every time for me as well
and Main Office is a nightmare, the lagspikes there are consistant

it doesn't make a difference what proxy i choose.. after 30 min bbg farming i'm pretty much served with frustration for the day right now

Muh

There's a very important difference. Is your client freezing or is it a lag.

Freezing means absolutely nothing moves, not even a costume.

Lag Serverside is when everything stays at position like taking a break and everything continues moving after that interruption.

Lag client side is when everything stays at position for you but at the lag everything but you seems to have moved.

Bahira

Muh yeah, that i differentiated

when someone teleports into my screen it's literally a frozen screen for solid 5 sec

everything else is lagspikes.. everything stays at position like taking a break and then continues, has caused me a few deaths already

Muh

Bahira lag appeared and after it was gone you were dead?

Bahira

Muh yeah pretty much, either that or nearly dead

Muh

Bahira that would be a client side lag though, did something change about your connection?

Bahira

Muh Not at all, only thing that changed was the patch, everything else stayed the same.

Bahira

i accidentally hit the screenshot button while someone teleported into the screen, wich completely fried the game.. it didn't seem to know what lag to initiate lol
had to brute force it and came back with 0 HP in Pron

Muh

The freezing is apparently some issue with the client itself. Does this really happen with any player you get on screen, doesn't matter how fancy their costumes are?

Bahira

Muh i could honestly not tell you right now, i'll try to catch how fancy the costumes they wear are.. until now it has been with every player that teleported into my screen

Bahira

Muh
i forgot to check back..
Still happening that my screen freezes when someone teleports in, it does not matter at all if the player has a fancy costume or not.
The lagspikes got increasingly worse as well, no matter what map i'm on. It spikes like 3 times within a minute, while killing, moving things in inventory, storage, etc..
The issue apparently must be on my side since not many ppl complain about the same issue, but i know my connection is good and my pc can usually easily handle the game.. the lag is consistent since the new patcher. No idea what to do about it.
I did download the client again today because my shops kept crashing 3 nights in a row. CPU is back to 50+%

Muh

Bahira the shops got kicked because we had some issues and multiple server restarts - shops getting kicked is something else we'll have to fix yet.

After the download you might want to remove the YXext-files again from your game folder

Bahira

Muh
removing it helped some with the CPU but not at all with the lagspikes
