Title: Nobody mentions the lag?
Post by: Killjoy2 on April 20, 2004, 11:10:26 AM
Lag was so bad last night over 200 people logged.  When I left at 12:30 MDT there were less than 70 online.  Last Saturday night it was the same thing.

Everyone's net status looked just fine.

What suprises me is that I don't see a mention on this board.  I did check the Gameplay forum and the past few days.  Nothing.

So?  Any explanation?

Is this severe lag not an issue during the day?  Only at night?  Even the HTC BBS was offline.

Skuzzy?

I tried logging on last night and everything was down - not sure how long it stayed down. Couldn't even get to webpage.

There was an outage in a major Internet hub in Dallas last night that caused many to have login troubles and prevented those same from reaching the WEB site.

I think the outage that Skuzzy describes was caused by too many people having too much fun on the pizza map. :)

Ah yes, well HTC has the AH game and the BBS on the same server. That way, if it the game goes down because of server outage, the BBS goes down with it and no-one can whine about the game being down. An HTC masterstroke! I think it has Hitech's name written all over it! :lol

Beetle, they are not on the same server, not even in the same state.

HA!

My guess is that the BBS is the real graphics engine for AH.  You want proof?  Why would both server and BBS be down at the same time if they are in different states?  coincidence? I think not.

HTC is obviously trying to cut costs while he cobbles together AH2.

You're way out of order with that, Killjoy.

Yes Killjoy is out of order... and twisted.  

I didn't think anybody could possible take that post seriously.  But I was wrong.

OK if it was meant to be a joke, I'm sorry.... guess I'm a little sensitive at the moment.....

What lag?

I was logged in until around 11pm EDT yesterday, and my 37 ping hardly felt laggy...  Think there was 400+ other ppl torturing themselves on pizza at the time too...

It's 9:30pm central and lag is so severe  that fleet guns can't kill town buildings, 5" guns get bright flashes yet don't do damage on aircraft, and planes are doing full circle warps.

I hear it's a new DoS worm that's going around.

Warps are horrible tonight.... gave up after one flight... pizza map sux even more in warp mode.
Title: Lags and Warps
Post by: moto61 on April 21, 2004, 01:54:10 AM
It is 4/21/2004 @1:47   CST.

All last night there were problems with warping and terrible lag. At times we might begin to think there was a cheat except that the world channel was full of complaints from all sides experiencing the same thing.  This is not a problem that cropped up on the 20th of this month either. Lag problems have been going on for at least a week maybe 2.

I saw a bomber formation jump 3k at one time then reappear behind me, then reappear back out in front of me.  Im thinking he was as confused as I was since he did not fire when he was on my 6 for about 2 seconds.  

This has been a problem for all sides.

I saw an interesting one last night. I was going at it with fireMAW who was flying a F4F. His CV was nearby. Suddenly, Boom. I thought I'd been hit by a ship gunner. The F4F was that moment at a distance of 2.4 on my FE. Only when FireMAW landed his kills did I realise that he was the F4F, not a ship gunner. Up until that moment, I was undamaged. I wasn't aware of his having landed any hits on me. Was this lag, or maybe a prox kill? I thought gunners got their own credits for kills. I thought I was at a safe distance from the CV to avoid the automatic ack.
:confused:

What we are seeing is our FE's are way behind the server.  

When it catches up we find we have flown into a mountain or somebody killed us.  Bomber formations zoom past.

I was over a base last night sort of defending from one con that was coming in to pork out strat.  I was on his 6 around 2k out while he was extending. The next thing I know I am getting pinged from out of no where and he's behind me now heading back towards the feild.

I know this is just one of those things that cannot be helped. The net is a screwy beast that is very fickle about certain things. I've heard that there are new worms and viruses that are causing this to happen.

Not once did I expect any of the warps to be due to cheating :rolleyes: The net is just too big of a beast to be perfect all of the time so for now I guess we'll have to live with it.

Yes, very laggy playing Tuesday night.

Aside from the game, the Knights also lagged in resetting the Bish.

A lot of people backed off Bish and starting hitting Rookies, cause they didn't want to see Pizza go away. :rolleyes:

Ah well, each to his own in this grand game of ours!
