DUST Search - Dev response to ridiculous lag?

m twiggz wrote:

The lag in Dust has been utterly ridiculous for the past few weeks. More so this past week than the rest. I saw many threads made about this with zero Dev response, other than the one response in Alldins thread asking us for "region and time" of lag. Many of those threads were ignored, locked, deleted, and even led to a forum ban or two.

I'll direct this towards CCP Rat, for the case that he is our new main Dust Dev if I am not mistaken.

What is going on with the lag CCP Rat?

I can confirm it is NOT any of the following;

Regional.
Only specific players.
Only specific maps.
Only specific times.

The majority of the matches I have played today were completely unplayable. Constant rubber banding, coming out of lag dead - with a kill - or in a completely different area, hit detection is definitely being effected - not just from my experience but also from others who have been complaining about it in many of my chats and even local.

I've also been noticing a lot more EU and Asian corps playing on the American server these past few weeks. I doubt that has anything to do with it, but I'll just throw that in there. As I've been told by some of my EU and Asian friends their servers are also unbearably cluttered with lag.

Questions from the community;

Do you have any idea why this is happening?
Are people working on finding the problem?
Will it be fixed?
Did CCP downgrade servers?
Is CCP now sharing servers for lower cost?

I am for some reason noticing groups of Japanese players in my games, they could have set the server that way, maybe it just wasn't meant to happen but did? Give the Russians their own server, the lag is horrible. I find that South American corps seriously lag have no hit detection, that and all the cowards use rail rifles on ADV sentinel suits. The frame rate in some games has dropped to perhaps 10-15FPS. It doesn't matter which map you are on either.

Arcturis Vanguard Red Star. EoN. 117	Posted - 2014.05.31 22:18:00 - [9] - Quote I'm in agreement with the lag. It's getting worse by the day. Some games are...Well...somewhat bearable? Others are infuriating. BF4 gets massive lag when you bring down very large builds, but that's to be expected with the mechanics of what is actually happening. Environment isn't destructible in dust so there should be no excuse as to way it's happening.....consistently. My guess is another sign from ccp letting us know dust will die sooner then later.

I suggest we send in petitions to [email protected] Whomever did the banning must have read the post to know to move them to technical support. So ignorance of these issues can't be claimed, that leaves complacency or denial. As seen in other dev posts they seem to be in denial that in fact there is a huge new rubber banding lag issue being observed by everyone.

It happens to all players in the match at the same time, on any map. It's happening too often, (Plus the frame rate lag. I can't fly a dropship on the Research Lab without having to quit later because it just breaks, gets unplayable)

Ive always played American server region, and I seem to notice more lag when there is large amounts of non American players in the server. Ccp Rat needs to understand thks is NOT framerate drop, this is true bandwidth server lag.....

Why are Australian players on US servers? It is because the AFK and killboosting has never been fixed. Everything I do on a US server is affected, my hit dettextion, my movement speed, my ping, my UVT turning robot, but I put up with that because it's better than fighting your arse off with 12 reds, while looking at 8 AFK blues and 4 killboosters. Pain is just weakness leaving your body. Every day is a holiday. Every meal is a feast.

deezy dabest Warpoint Sharx 586	Posted - 2014.06.01 03:44:00 - [21] - Quote The lag does seem to be growing worse by the day. I figure they have scaled back the servers to keep from taking losses thanks to decreased AUR sales. They probably should have just shut down the Oceania server if they wanted to save money.

The lag on the Gallente Research Facility has been known since the map/socket release. This issue is far beyond that. Its happening on any map, at any given time. Always lasts the entire duration of the match, start to finish. The lag may disperse for a moment or two throughout the match, but those moments are literally seconds and very few and far between. As a CPM perhaps you can get us information regarding this issue. I have yet to see a proper Dev response to the many posts and threads already made about it. Which is of course why I posted this one. This problem is effecting the last remainder of the Dust community. The ones that actually wanted to stick around and play, even the ones who may go to Legion. CCP is just digging themselves into a deeper hole with all of us at this point. We deserve answers.

I do not get lag in the euro timezone, iot seems to get bad when the Americans start to log on. Afternoons UK time is great. When I am squad leader people always comment the 'ping' meter is very good for them. However when I join a squad and its getting late my time in the UK, thats when I always start to noticed the lag. Yesterday was really bad for a few games. Totally unplayable. Is it related to fights happening in EVE or is this the South American corps lagging us to kingdom come again?
