I don't think it's the game client. I run mine on an old thing, not sure what's inside but when a tube burns out I just replace it. So, it's probably either your hardware is fragged or your software has a switch set the wrong way/driver installed sideways/w/e. But the game is still running fine on my old box, and every once in a while the monkey inside the box even comes out and gives me a big thumbs up!
I've had mega lag after the patch as well, to the point where teaming of any sort is almost impossible.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
I will chip in here too, and say that my lag - specifically the number of lost packets - has made the game almost unplayable since the servers came back up on Tuesday evening. Before this week, the only problem I ever had with the game was a low framerate on some of the more complex maps.
...I forgot what experience means.
Sooooo glad im not the only one. Hopefully a dev will give some insight on this situation. Its really frustrating.
I have an HP 8740 Extreme Quad with 32GB of ram and a 2GB video card. I paid almost 20k for it and it has the same problems as $298 emachines box.
ive not noticed any unusual lag lately
i still get horrid FPS drops on most praetorian lab maps or the warehouse/lab map in the lambda trial, prolly due to them rednering improperly at low graphics settings
Tried to play a little this morning, to see if it was due to primetime connections. Nope. I ran one mission without lost packets and then my netgraph turned into stoplights again.
...I forgot what experience means.
Yeah, not saying my machine does not get lag. C'mon, ity's CoH. the new warehouse map in Lambda is unrunnable for me. the same warehouse maps in the Prae zones are also unrunnable. But beyond the normal lag I've experienced for years with the game (Oh, that ITF valley fight...wow) it hasnt increased recently. And the game is definitely still runnable. that is why I believe something happened to your machine. p.s., I will have the monkey in the comp light a candle for ya.
Netgraph looks like a side profile of a mountain range. Ran a STF last night and it was pretty bad. The weekly Mothership raid was like an old silent movie where the film had been spliced a few hundred times with missing frames.
Tech Support Rule #1 - They will lie to you. Usually intentionally.
I also have had more lag issues since the merge; rubberbanding more often, but the worst has to be the powertray lag with powers displaying as recharged when they aren't(5-10seconds or more sometimes) with a green netgraph, that sucks.

have you done any group events? Have you participated in the surge. What game have you been logging into. What server do you play on and post the specs for your machine. |

Personally, I have noticed greater lag. I wonder if they need to upgrade their datacenter connections.
