Anyone else getting big lag spikes today?

[Talia]

Having some issues today with lag spikes. I'm on a gigabit fiber connection. Ping back from game server is 118ms. Tracert's slowest point is 45ms.

[Tophu]

Are you still having issues Talia?

[Talia]

Yes. It's the take three steps and freeze for several seconds kind of problem. Intermittent, it will play fine for a bit and then spike and then settle down for a while. Restarting the client doesn't affect it. It reminds me of the lag that we used to experience during the mad gold duping shit back in the day...

[Tophu]

Okay, we are investigating this. Will keep you updated.

[Talia]

Thanks. It's at the point where I don't dare trying to fight even a skeleton because the bitch could kill me when I spike.

Internap seems to be having a strange problem in NYC that is causing certain packets to be dropped to/from certain clients. This is making TCP connections not work at a reasonable speed sometimes, at minimum, for some users. Our host iscontinuing to investigate to try to pin this down for them so that they can fix it. Hang in there Talia.

[Talia]

Okay, good to know. We'll just ride this one out by staying in town and doing escorts instead of fighting anything.

Still getting these. Random lags by Internap makes Talia go dirtnap, and always when fully loaded with dungeon treasure chest loot.

I had the same issue today, but luckily I wasn't in a dungeon at the time. I'd have been a goner if i was.

Hey guys, sorry this issue is still affecting you. To help our host resolve this faster could you please help us provide them a little information: We'll need you to post some "MTR results" to help troubleshoot a problem.


Please follow these steps


1. Temporarily turn off any firewall that you may be running.



2.Download WinMTR .



3. Open the file that downloads and extract the "winmtr_bin_xxx" folder to a location of your choice.



4. Open the folder folder, and select that the WinMTR folder corresponding to your OS bit level, and double click on the WinMTR.exe file (on Windows Vista/7, right-click it and select"Run as administrator"instead). You should see this screen:


="height:360px; width:594px" />


5. Generally its best to leave the options set the way they are for testing purposes. In the "Host" field at the top, type in LostLandsIP or address <span class="marker">66.150.121.201</span>then click the "Start" button.


6.Leave it running for 500-1000 tests, and, if possible, join the server until you notice some problems (leaving it running won't cause any added lag). After this, click the "Stop" button.



7. Next, click the "Copy Text to clipboard" button on the far left, and then post the results here, or PM them to meif you'd prefer that.I'll pass the resultson to our host to further investigate.
