Hello,

I do not know if anyone else is experiencing this. Ever since Saturday (2/5) after around maybe 3:00 PM (PST) on Liberty Server. I began experiencing weird lag it would be so severe I could not move. I logged out and back in. The same it would happen after about 10 mins (I timed it) and would suddenly spike lasting for 2 about mins. It has been this way all weekend.

I have played for 3 years and have NEVER experienced this before. I checked to see if Nortons was running an update - No. I restarted my system - No change.

I ran /netgraph 1 - Watched the PING and the green bar, it would be about 150-200 Ping and the green line would be short and a little wavy. Then when a lag spike would hit, my PING would rise to 500 to 1400 - the green bar would rise (increasing about 400%) and be a solid bar. Then after 2 mins it would return to normal.

I am trying to figure this out. Is anyone else experiencing this? I am wondering if it is my ISP or CoH. When I surf the web or play another online game I do not experience this lag spike.

Confused, please let me know your ideas/thoughts/theory as to how to fix this.

Thanks,

This has been happening to me as well. I believe it started for me at the patch just before the double xp weekend.

Have also had a few sudden game lock-ups. No BSOD, no crash to desktop. The game just freezes and I can't even get back out to my desktop. Nothing has changed on my end. Game performance in general seems to be getting worse in various ways.
