Servers Still Unstable

[Wilhelm Keitel]

This is just plain incompetence every fix just makes things worse. Trion Just needs to close the servers down and admit they have no clue what they are doing with this game. A solo story mission lags out killed repeatedly by non existent enemies outside the conflict site is just bad net code and lag caused by crap servers.

I don't know what they did this time but they definetly did it wrong. I returned after a small break with some hopes and tried to play but I was forced to quit again. It's only 1 to 10 seconds before I get lagged at ANY activity regardless of how many players are there.

They cut down overall inventory capacity to reduce lags.
They added timers to claims to reduce lags.
They reduced the frequency of events to reduce lags.
They did many unseen changes in the code to reduce lags.

And finally they got some results: game is totally unplayable now.

Oh, and the game's completely unplayable for me on PC/NA this morning. Lag out within seconds of logging in to any PvP match, multiple attempts. This game has been my "main" more-or-less since launch, and I'm this far from uninstalling. This shtako just never gets fixed. In fact, as others have pointed out, the lag and disconnect issues have actually gotten much worse over time. What I wouldn't give for a pre-Bullet-Sponge server (albeit preferably with a bit of a simple buff to PvE enemies, as it was too easy). That version was actually, you know...fun. It was also pretty stable, at least on the PC version.

Fallen Earth is still available at Gamers First, as far as I know (still have it installed...just haven't logged in in a year). No lack of bugs in that game, either...but it's playable (and actually rather brilliant in terms of atmosphere). Very much an MMO, and an absolutely enormous game world.

I tried getting into Fallen Earth, but I just couldn't figure out what to do. It's so hard to get into those old MMOs when they don't have good tutorials to hold your hand a little bit.

I also forgot APB, but that's pretty much only PvP, so...Yeah.

Yeah, Fallen Earth pretty much just hands you a gun and a crappy horse and says "good luck out there." I found it to be worth the time and frustration, but eventually the population got so small (including the departure of most of the people I played with), and now I haven't logged in in ages.

IMO it seems that they are being told to make do with the number of cpu's and memory capacity and work it out from there. But of course with the myriad of things the could cause it, it probably isn't, but just feels that way. Given that the lag is worse these last few days after maintenance "imo preload of aftermath patch" and associated hotfix in addition to the population steam side is down to twenty percent of what it was when it went free to play, you really wonder....

Part time Server engineer, no methinks they are on call, and don't get called :P

It's not fixed, it's worse...a lot worse.
Some players, including me can't do almost anything any more other than drive around.

Load into a WM...lag out. Everyone freezes, mobs, players...everything. Have to relog.
Sieges Shoot a few mobs...lag out. Relog...rejoin siege...lag out, relog...and repeat.
Incursions...well that's if you can actually find more than one every two hours. Same as sieges.
DLC weapons...cant use half the time as they keep turning red telling us we don't own the DLC.

Exit game. Mumble a lot...sigh some, smile and try game again...but nope, same as before.
Hell i even did two fresh installs of the game. One via steam and the other via the website. Just in case it was anything to do with corrupt files or anything like that.

I have no idea what you have tried to do...but whatever it is, it has just made the game virtually unplayable for a lot of players.

Seriously guys and gals, you need to fix all of this as soon as possible....it really is getting to be unplayable not to mention highly frustrating.

Too much lag to play again today! (I guess I'll just keep posting this till it's fixed or I find something else to do

PS: A lot of us have been patient but I suspect that patience is running out. At least it is for me.

On the bright side, I am having an absolute ball on my first play through of Fallout 3.
