DT is currently unplayable.

[Jida]

The lag is getting increasingly worse.

Today I have died 7 times due to lag. Nothing to do with players even near me.

That is 50+ DI's down the drain since each time I died it is in the middle of a Gold Island spawn (apparantly I ran into them while lagged) and I have died 2 times trying to recover.

I also died in Kha to shadows when I thought I was just porting in. Once again, apparantly, I had already ported in, ran to the middle of town and stood there.

I will try to port in to a location (static port or recall) and I show up then start to portal in again.

I equip a shield only to find out, even though I am in the shield weilding stance, the shield is not equiped.

When running into other players I hit a crawl sometimes and others the game is moving faster than an FPS.

Had a guy attack me for 15 seconds and he was not even on my screen, then he just slid from way off radar and showed up.

I get massive packet loss, massive ping times and sometimes, I run at a 150 ping with no loss what so ever.

Once again, for no reason.

Tried no decal. Tried logging in from work (T3). Tried using a different system.

Talking to guildmates and others we all seem to be having the same issues.

Not sure of other servers, I don't play them, but on DT it is unplayable.

Trying to run around and dying cleanly is fine. That's what those DIs were for. Losing 50+ in a day because of lag and spending most of the time burning vit is not what I call fun.

Either turn off death drops or vit until you can get this together, especially on DT.

Someone told me Turbine announced that DT was being shut down. Is that true? maybe that is why they just don't care about the server anymore :eek:

LOL! That's not true @ all....

Jida,

agreed lag is terrible now.

agreed needs to be fixed.

disagree about ur death drops idea.

[Jida]

I just threw that in there out of frustration.

I am only covering at best 7k items. I carry anywhere from 60-90 20k DIs on me and replace those in a day of hunting if needed.

I won't play though if that is all I am doing.

Too good of a chance of losing an item that when the lag is fixed I will not be able to replace.

So I won't play since it makes the deaths senseless.

If the server is this unstable for another say 2 weeks then the chances of me getting to a point where I am out of DIs is very good. Which means going to lower level items, which = I will die more :)

Instead of going through that I would just elect to not play.

[Frank The Knife]

Lag is HORRIBLE on all the servers.

On DT it can be brutal.

[robthehand]

its like their upgrade was to give us back the old servers dt had.

this sorta reminds me of when monsters would decay and drop all their items on the ground and you wouldnt be able to move at all. I have been playing since 2002 and this by far the worst lag has ever been.
Basically this game is unplayable atm

[chief]

According to Frelorn they just fixed the lag issues, anybody able to test?

Yeah and I'm the new CEO of Turbine. Why would they do that when Darktide has the highest population? Usually Darktide has an higher population of 2 worlds combined.

Obviously a joke.

[Ftuoil_Xelrash]

So i decide to "try" and play some this morning....
After 30 minutes of crashes and in-complete logins, i finaly get in.


70% packet loss, to hell with this crap.

[Jida]

I am still getting interrmittant packet loss and lag spikes although it is nowhere near as bad as it was.

Logging in is also going faster.

I am playing from CA though which might make a difference.

Actually this should not be bad. The game servers are in an ATT datacenter on the west coast near the Microsoft campus up in the Seattle area. Billing and authentication are over in Boston.

It is a long haul for me since I am diagonal being in South East part of Florida.

DT and MT are both mostly ok for me. Occasionally I get yellow/red chains, but I can still play just fine. I can log in on the first try too, now.

[max_evil]

Yula_the_Mighty ,

how do you know this?

[Cezium]

I've heard of the servers being near seattle too but I can't cite a source on that.

Ibn told us way back when Turbine bought AC. He explained there would be a day or two outage while the game servers were moved from the Microsoft data center on the Microsoft campus to a local ATT data center.

For those people who were playing on Darktide when the move took place, they should remember. Darktide was damaged. It took about week before Turbine found and fixed all the hardware problems.

As I recall, Turbine gave the folks on Darktide three free levels as recompensation. I remember trying to dash up to camped town criers to get my free levels. Good fun. Get cut down. Come back at the lifestone white. I have five minutes, there is no stopping me now...

and two pieces of sing quality loot!

[chief]

I've been lag-free since they said they fixed their network issues Friday, fun stuff.

[Jida]

I saw some of it last night again around 8:00 pst.

Not as bad but similar in nature. I am not sure if it went away or if I ignored it afterwards.

I am still getting these swings to 'extreme performance' from time to time. Everything just really speeds up and plays overly smooth. I am not used to it at all when this happens.
