post a CoHHelper report and HijackThis report so we can see if it is your system. before that though, try a disc clean up and defrag then reset your modem and router.
It's unlikely the sprinting has anything to do with it - more likely it's something about the locations. Both KR and Steel have Wentworths. Were you near or approaching WW?

I suspect it does.
Rubberbanding occurs when the location seen by the client and server are out of step. Faster move rates mean you can move further between packets being received at the server. I'd assume there is a threshold distance beyond which you will be rubber banded back to the server stored location so if packets are being dropped somewhere along the route it is easier to move beyond the threshold where it can be auto-corrected the faster you are travelling and so the more rubber banding that you will experience.
oops misread that - the lag is indeed probably more likely due to the location as more information is being sent to the servers - rubberbanding is a consequence of it.
In particular the WW servers operate across all game servers for both EU and US and so is probably being hit hard and the game servers are having to wait on responses from it.

That wouldn't apply unless you are actually accessing WW. The lag spike as you approach WW has nothing to do with the market itself. It's caused by the crowd of people there. The servers have to send you their costume details as you come within draw distance.|

If it's the middle of the night and no players are there, then no lag.

I routinely get rubberbanding approaching WW in Talos after exiting Ouroboros, doesn't matter if anyone is there. I need to remember to do the /unloadgfx after exiting the portal.

There is lag around WW/BM irrespective of whether there is anyone present - This is why I am conjecturing that there may be a problem with the linking of the two servers. Oh and auras especially from powers have a much greater effect than any costumes and it has been suggested before to have a power dampening field around both.

I've never experienced any kind of game crashes or freezes until Saturday. Saturday afternoon, the game froze on me while I was running around in Kings Row. Thought it was odd, but wrote it off as a random occurrence. Then the game froze on me again Saturday night while running around in Kings Row. Sunday evening, the game froze on me for a third time while running around in Steel Canyon. Last night, the game froze again on me for a fourth time while running around in Kings Row. Just now, the game froze on me for a fifth time while running around in Steel Canyon.
Each time the game freezes, my character (different characters) is sprinting in a zone. Not attacking, not flying or super jumping, just sprinting, towards a Paladin for instance, or an Outcast.
Anyone else experiencing these game freezes? I don't think it's anything to do with my machine, as it just started, and it's always while sprinting around in a zone, but I suppose anything is possible...
