Status on Downtown Latency Fix????

For the time being, it'll be best not to run missions downtown if you don't have to. It'll probably be some time before the devs get back to working on the latancy issues and come up with a solution.

On of the few things I had time to do tonight was hyperjump around downtown drooling over the fps revolution with draw distance and detail turned allllll the way up.

Man o man I've been feeling reeeeeal pessimistic lately but between the forums and the servers I can't help but get the feeling Sony's gonna actually get this game fully functional!

Downtown seems to be working fairly nicely, some districts are still a little laggy though.

I was downtown last night, and I visited all the usual heavy lag
districts (Chelsea, Baldwin Heights, Hampton Green) and my lag was
around normal, I don't know what it's like today but last night I had a
blast downtown.



It may have just been post server new and shiny-ness, but I was gettin good vibes.



A faction mate was getting lag though, but he was gettin lag in richland as well, so I think that was to do with his computer.



Here's hoping.

I can't complete five Contact Missions because of the latency in that area.

Had a great time in d/town today and it didn't see laggy at all untill iwent near hampton green but apart from that not bad at all.

One thing i don't understand is my latency is showing up fine, but im
still getting a hit with a lag bomb.  Thought it might be hardware
related, but that was never a problem.  Just in case here are the
specs:



Game running at High everything

Athlon 64 3000+ (slightly OC'ed to 2.2Ghz)

1 GB ( 2 x 512) DDR 400 memory

ASUS nVidia 6800 GT  (GDDR3 256MB 256bit)

running on cable modem 3 Mb down, 1 Mb up ( I live rediculously close to Time Warner... hehe w00t go me)

This map was created by my faction mate recently, when he became
curious about just where the lag was.  Please note, the orginal
map is, I belive, from users of Matrix Dojo. I do not the actual user
who created the map, sorry!







And yes, before the switch to SOE, he did submit a /CCR, and has heard exactly....zip.

its been like this for all servers the zones crash causing major lag I
hope they fix this soon makes frag hunting a chore as if itsnt boring
enough already

I've noticed some lag around Union Hill as well, but it's probably just fallout from the latency issues of Baldwin Heights.

This needs to be fixed.  I  don't think they realize how much of a problem it is.

It seems to be slightly better now. There's still some significant lag, though, which wrecks havoc on the people farming.

Can we get a dev response on this please?

 :smileysad:

If there is another thread where this was addressed by a dev or admin I apologize, but I didnt find anything.

Joel? Walrus? Downtown lag issue?

Please say something about this issue, its getting very annoying to visit downtown and have such major lag.

Thanx in advance.

Moribeau is insane as well FYI...

Yeah, I agree that some dev feedback is needed.

I was able to do a contact mission in Hampton Green today which was previously laggy, so perhaps DT is fixed?

I think every area is laggy.  Everytime I do a mission with some one else my latency meter goes from green to Red in a second flat even though I am not in downtown.  Also I get this Login error thing when I die so I have to restart my computer.
