Major Lag

[Theeph]

Hey, i tried to search the forums, but honestly, i'm not good at it, so if this has been answered forgive me.

The past 3 days or so my lag has been unbearable, certainly unplayable. I stutter step the entire time, and sometimes my character will not move on my screen, everyone will vanish, and I will be moving on other people's screen. That's all I know. Any help would be great.

 

[Theeph]

I do know i avg ping at 40.6 when i am lagging, which I know is no lag. don't know if that helps.

I've also recently set up a second monitor, so i have two screens.

 

[Shino]

Everyone vanishes? That's kinda... odd. Did you modify your client in any way lately? What version is it at currently?

 

[Theeph]

Not at all, and 7.0.7.0

 

[Shino]

Did you change your video card or drivers to set up the second monitor? Perhaps you could try going back to a single monitor to see if that caused it.

 

[Theeph]

Did not change anything and I tried going back after I wrote that, no luck.

 

[Theeph]

I'll unplug it when I get home from work, see if that does the trick, i don't imagine it will, though.

 

[Theeph]

No luck. :/

Theeph try these instructions:

If you are having lag problems, post a traceroute in this thread. Most of the time, lag problems are a problem with your ISP, or with an ISP between you and the server that none of us have control over.
Very rarely there is a problem on our ISP's end, and seeing traceroutes can help us bring it to their attention.


To run a traceroute:

• Press "Start" in Windows
• Press "Run..."
• Type "Cmd" and press "OK"
• IN the box that pops up type tracert login.uogamers.com
• Let the trace run, while it is running, expand the height of the window so that all the results can be seen at once.
• Right click on the window's title and go to "Edit" and select "Mark"
• Highlight the results of the trace and press ENTER
• Create a reply in this thread and paste the results of the trace INSIDE OF [ code] and [/code] tags. The code tags are important because the trace is VERY hard to read without them. Please do not forget the code tags!

[Theeph]

-.- But, I just logged on to see if there was still an issue and there doesn't seem to be, at least for the 3 minutes I was on. (I had not logged on in a few days)
If it comes back I'll retrace and let you know.

 

[Theeph]

The lag seems to be a little better, when it's gone it's completely gone and when it's there it's there in full force. I tried the trace route when it happened last and got similar results with one or two at around 150-200. If that's significant I will post the results if it happens again.

 

[Puma1337]

It depends on where the lag is occurring. If it is on your end or UOG's end or somewhere in the middle

I am having the same issue. I was fine before the patch, no new equipment no new anything. Below are my numbers. Would appreciate any help. Lag is bad.

Ugg I can't even make runebooks without getting killed. Thanks to this new found lag

 

[Puma1337]

It looks to me like its just your connection. You don't seem to be on a very fast connection so it is just a lag from that. If you are paying for a fast connection you may have some wiring or hardware issues.
