  1. The game has become pure lag for me with only a few moments of clarity inbetween. This has made it completely unplayable. VIP head start indeed.
  2. Oh gee, another day of intermittent lag spikes. -_-; Why am I not surprised?
  3. Yes. I've actually gotten lag off and on every week since one of the stability patches sometime a month ago, but now after i21, it's just gotten absolutely terrible.

    Memory leak?

    Might not be a CoH problem.
    I have admit, the Texas fires have crossed my mind as a possibility, but what are the odds of the lag getting WORSE after the new issue release?

    Memory leak?

    My game has become riddled with lag spikes for the last two days, when prior to i21, it only occured about once a week and that started after one of the "stability patches" from last month. Something is seriously wrong.
  6. Okay, this is annoying.

    This is the first time I have ever had lag two days in a row. If this is the way it's going to be from now on, I have to seriously reconsider continuing my subscription to this game and spend my money somewhere else.

    Fix it, or I vote with my money.

    Wow, that's pretty sweet! I know what costume piece I'll be using when I make my first Titanic Weapons character.

    That being said, I do like it.
    Actually, the opening portion of this new Composition reminded me more of the Stargate Atlantis theme.

    That said, Statesman's face still reminds me of a certain Internet meme that mongles male birds.
  9. All I bought were the barbarian bundle, the backpack, beam rifle, and rocket board. That brought me only to paying $5 for the extra points to cover my expenditure.

    And I'm fine with that, as that's all I need for now. A lot of items on the Market seem suspiciously like money traps.
  10. Lag was crazy for me today, although I've been experiencing intermittent lag over the course of the month. Some dayas the game has been playing fine, and then at least once a week, bam, a day of lag.

    Netgraph 2 looks like the spikey green ones Scharrode's posted. Ping goes as high as 500-something.

    Nice that I've finally found a thread with similar problems.

    Mender Ramiel

    Anyone else get him reset with i21? No, not "reset" like someone switching sides and encountering the "other" Ouroboros, but really reset as returned from inactive contacts to active with his blue bar still full.

    At first I had thought the devs had stealthed in some new content with him, but no... he tried giving me the same first mission to the arc I've already played through with the character in question.

    I reiterate, this was not because of side-switching because the character I was on... has never switched sides! (Unless someone's been playing my characters without my knowledge, which is extremely... doubtful.)

    I have yet to check my other 50 to see if his Mender Ramiel has reset as well.

    But seriously, this shouldn't happen! Now that character has a reactivated Mender Ramiel with that damn storybook icon, all ready for an arc she's already been through.
  12. Just a warning, this "fix" takes nigh forever to work. I've been sitting here for a bloody hour and a half trying and trying again and it just finally worked.

    Forum Avatars?

    What happened to them?

    Did you free Katie Douglas? Well put her back in the seer network!
    Oh! Noble Savage made it out! Hooray! Better start counting his days because he's living on borrowed time.
    Was the Carnival of Light the only beacon of good in Praetoria? Guess what? Half of their members are now evil and insane! Oh! And thirty levels later THEIR LEADER IS DEAD!
    Oh, and by the way, everything you've been doing has not made a bat bugger of good difference in the long run.

    Sorry, Rapthorn, you forget, Praetoria does not give happy endings, only kicks in the loins.
    Rapthorn's tears are delicious to me.

    Horrible Lag

    Well, I'm beginning to think it really does have something to do with my connection to the game. As I've made clear earlier, it doesn't happen all the time. Most days, CoH is purring like a kitten, and then on the occasional day (like today) it lags on me. It's a very recent occurence too, since it pretty much just started early last month.

    Horrible Lag

    Okay, having a look at my Defrag, it seems I've always had it on an automatic schedule, so a fragmented drive is not the issue. In fact, the last time it ran was yesterday.

    And the game is lagging again today. Any other, REAL solutions, people?
  17. Well, there it goes, logging me out just when I hit reply.

    Anyway, wow... Arcanaville... that response. Only one word sums that tirade up succinctly.

    OWNED.
  18. While it's never left for me, it's been especially nasty today.

    Have you tried taking the router out of the loop? If you still have problems after connecting directly to the pc, then run a trace route to see where you might be losing packets. I've used ping plotter, but there are other, "less strange" ways to do that too.
    What?

    Horrible Lag

    I'm not going to download some strange software I've never heard of to do something that my computer already has a tool for.

    Well, it's happening again, once more without rhyme or reason. Unplugged my modem to turn it off (since there's no power switch on it) then plugged it back in. Still lagging.

    So no, not it.

    Well, I guess it's a problem in your end, because I know for a fact that the game connected just fine for me today and I'm pretty sure others here can confirm that they've also connected. Perhaps you should seek assistance in the Technical Issues folder?
