Unusual Lag. Is it just me?
Anonymous IXl
I have been experiencing TERRIBLE lag in game. I almost never lag, usually have a 100-200 ping/100+ FPS. But recently i have been getting giant lag spikes and my character full locks up. Am I the only one? Or is anyone else having bad lag on GW servers?

I'm getting heavy lag in Kamadan American districts. No where else though.

It's just you (two?).
Zyponusk
Actually, now that you mention it, I have been experiencing some odd behavior. Masive lagg spikes and then guild wars disconnects me from the server and a window comes up saying "Connecting..." for ages. Until I cancel it. It does this regularly and then stops a while later :/

Trying to enter Eye of the north crashed gw.exe for me. Logging back in and constant 12k ping.
Nuime
Yep, think a lot of people are getting hit with it. EOTN Dist 1 (both Int and American) were painfully laggy for me all today. 14k ping was pretty much normal for me there, saw someone else in the district saying they had 16k ping, so no...not just you.

*SEARCH* maybe?
Short answer: no
Long.. No, bad servers.

Telling people *SEARCH* is a copout bullcrap response.

The other thread title doesn't even suggest to me that it is about lag. More that they were going to say happy happy joy joy things about Kamadan. Perhaps they liked the decor who knows. Failure in title. I wouldn't have checked that thread even if I had looked in Riverside for the location to post.
I posted in this thread because it was in the most logical place. Seeing as this is a "Game issue" and this is the subforum for Game and computer issues (As per the description).
Either way: Easy fix was to not utilize America districts and move to Asia - Japanese or Korean or Traditional Chinese. There was zero lag that way.

Our staff are monitoring these issues on different fronts (server side, network side, etc.), and have taken steps to try and mitigate the lag.
Part of the issue is high numbers of players in districts, which strains the servers and can contribute to lag. If you are experiencing issues, try switching to a less populated district.
We'll continue to monitor and make adjustments to address.

So I'm going to pass on a pointer so that others can hopefully pass this along as well and some of you can know HOW to search. Lag is a very short word, it's not going to return any results because it's just too short. It's very server intensive to find such a short word in a huge database. If you have a short word like ohhhh... 'PvP' or 'lag' you want to search on try using a * at the end of it. It will return you results as the * is looking for anything AFTER that word.
lag*

If you want it to be more specific, as the default setting is to search within the posts and say you just want THREADS on lag then make sure you choose "Search Titles Only"
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...archid=4315813
There you are, 2 full pages of 'lag' search results. This works on any other forums you'll encounter in the future as well.

removedonrequest
well 30,00 and 40,000 ping is unacceptable in any instance
arena net has to be aware of the problem
why should we have to switch districts or anything
just porting to kamadan will and has caused me to crash out of the game on numerous occasions
my guess and it is only a guess is aion took all the servers and arena net intends for us to "put up" with this lag

1) don't blame it on aion it laggs bad every wintersday...
2) if I'm correct the guild wars servers are actually a-nets meaning that they have nothing to do with aion however I could be wrong on this...
3)welcome to wintersday

In fact, since your search results have timed out and no longer exist even your links of "Proof" show: Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
Without foreknowledge that the results have simply timed out it would appear that it supports the notion that search is "Bad or broken" even after the admin shows up to respond.
I personally posted to this thread as it is in my personal opinion the most relevant thread in the most relevant location and doesn't require necromancy.

If you're having specific lag issues, you can report them to Gaile here. Make sure and include your server's IP (hover over the ping icon).

Using the * is known as truncation.

Anger?

Typed medium is terrible. Imagine my post coming from Ben Stein. Yeah, that's about the amount of emotion there.
Boolean, Truncation, Catfish, all the same to the unknowing.

We're aware that many players are experiencing increased lag and rubber banding issues. The high number of players in districts is causing increased load on server CPU. There are a few things you can do on your end to try and improve play experience. First let me explain what's going on. Each district of a map is likely to be hosted on a different hardware server. Higher numbered districts are generally going to be newer instances of the map, and will be less likely to have accumulated whatever is slowing down the older/lower numbered districts. Therefore, we strongly suggest that you try different, higher numbered districts, if you're experiencing rubber banding or high pings.
We're also monitoring increased game client crashes, and investigating the issues. Our programmers suggest that trying different/higher number districts might help avoid client crashes.
We'll continue to actively monitor the issues here and continue to take steps to address them.

The new build will place everyone back into a properly-functioning server when they login. This will happen within the hour. Because it is a holiday, and the offices are closed, you probably won't see the usual Game Update note on the web site. Due to the holiday, will be difficult to get the game update notes localized and turned around quickly, etc.
When you log back in, we anticipate that players will have a more improved experience with regard to the lag, rubber-banding, and connectivity issues. However, we will continue to monitor the issues and address them as we can if the issues persist.
Thanks so much for your understanding, and we apologize for the inconvenience this causes.

On a side note...don't say

Also if there was no emotion like you say then it would be a mute point by now. You would have accepted the answers and left it at that...so sorry but you either have some form of emotion over the matter and are to stupid to relise it...or your just trying to provoke an argument...
However i do agree that the Guru servers do suck and tend to time out alot...
no offense of course again....
On a side side note: I love Regina being completely oblivious to the fact that this thread has almost nothing to do with lagg on the guild wars servers anymore...
karlik
Thank you Regina - not so much for the fix - more for you guys actually working as the last day before a holiday winds down. Most of us are only interested in going home and aren't worth much those last few hours.
Took me a few minutes to get it but I think you're referring to "Research_Ass" ? Gotta be careful, that's the kinda thing that could become a nickname real easy.
