lagging and other issues

I've been noticing today that the Justice server has been really lagging all day. I've also noticed too that the buff bar below your HP/Endo has been disappearing/reappearing off and on all day. At one point I was farming with my tanker on the castle wall in cimerora and was noticing I had perma hasten (which i don't have normally) and the enemies I noticed were jumping all around and powers that I used would continue to have the line rotating around them even after i used them. I have also noticed too when going from one zone to the next that the loading times were a lot longer than usual and I never really have that problem at all.

Has anyone else been having the same issues?

I was seeing the same thing on Infinity and my netgraph was full of red and yellow spikes. I'm chalking it up to the hurricane. Hopefully it will go away by tomorrow.

Same thing on Freedom, did a BAF and it was as bad as the first week the trials came out. My NCsoft laucher did a strange update when I booted it up did anyone else get that?

Really bad lag on multiple BAFs, on a Sister Psyche right now and the /netgraph is showing a lot of red and yellow spikes. This is on Liberty. I guess it's that time of the year again...

*sigh*

Hello,

add me to the ones encountering that problem.

Im UTC +2 timewise.

Started playing around 6:30 pm evrything was normal (playing on freedom and protector), until i decided to join a mortimer kal sf on virtue around 9:30 pm, then suddenly my netgraph was going haywire with yellow and red spikes and having that buff bar disappearing effect too. To add CoX crashed fully 2 times in that short sf, hadnt any crash in the last 2-3 month before that.

Greetings

PS i hope it was either hurricane or preparation for todays store rework/preparation of i 21 Launch that did it...

To add to what I mentioned before, I did in fact have a complete CoH lockup during the second BAF I ran. I had to force CoH closed and then restart it. On top of that, I too was experiencing disappearing buff bar as though the game was having trouble receiving the buff data.

I can only hope this issue is resolved quickly. I find it difficult to enjoy CoH during my regular play sessions if the game is lagging like this.

I was in the Shadow Shard hunting Fakes and Overseers on Virtue server and was displaying buff/debuff attacks in my buff bar that were not affecting my totals. Not to mention they were from about 5-10+ mins earlier. Then noticed It was happenning more frequently across all my toons on both accounts. Then once I get to a new zone it starts over, needless to say its rather annoying.

Same thing yesterday in Freedom, huge lagspikes red and yellow on Netgraph during a Statesman TF, team mates getting multiple dc's, buff bar disappearing and global channels disappearing too. Also, might not be related, but Lord Recluse did not take ANY kind of dmg until we got all 4 towers down, before that, our dmg didn't register on him at all.

Just logged on now and still lots of red and yellow spiks on netgraph.-

Big lag yesterday in RV, freezes of 2s sometimes ... oups, I'm dead now

UK based here and having the same issues. Lots of red and yellow lag spikes. Not affecting game play when traveling around zones that much, but in mish I'm getting severe lag and the buff bar is completely erratic as to what actually gets shown and click powers shown as constantly activating.

This was fine yesterday afternoon (UK) but when I logged and came back to the game later in the evening it was making the game unplayable.

I had similar issues from my home in western Michigan. Netgraph was showing spikes regularly, usually minor but occasionally big blocks of yellow and red. It was very noticeable in gameplay, as I'd either see rubber-banding or delays in firing off powers. I was forced to avoid bringing my Iron Eagles out as I wasn't willing to risk a lag-induced death.

I did all the usual rebooting, resetting of router, etc but nothing seemed to help. I also tried some basic testing of my network connection (ping test and the like) but no problems found. So I have to believe it's something either with the servers themselves, or the network connection that they're using.

I was really hoping this was a minor network issue that would be resolved by the time I got home tonight, but based on all the other posts I see here, chances of that seem small.

Having same issue on Infinity and Freedom since last night. I play in Iowa for what that is worth.

I ran a pathping and I'm only 11 hops to the game at 393ms with 1 dropped packet So I really am at a loss as to why I'm getting crazy red and yellow spikes.

I even went as far as to turn off the sending of any buff numbers to reduce network traffic and that wasn't useful at all.

Since last night there have been more developments/issues.

Last night was the buff tray under the health bar not displaying everything or not showing up at all. Aslo displaying old debuffs that no longer had any negative affect on my attributs.

Today as well as having the issues with he buff bar and power lag I have been randomly crashing. I know its not just me since multiple people on my STF were crashing. I personally crashed three times on one STF. Not to mention 2 random zone crashes one in Atlas and one in Nova Praetoria. Opened up /Net_Graph 1 noticed a lot of red lines so i popped up 2 and the bars went all the way to the top of my screen. Because of this I reset my Router and Modem, still having the same issues. Anyone know the root of these issues? Also, playing in Washington State on Virtue server.

Just want to add my voice to those having significant lag as described by others here. This has been an issue for the last couple of days.

UK player on Freedom.

Player on Virtue/Victory/Freedom/Union and I can attest to all of that. Pretty much since the lave patch on the 25th I've had slower frame rates, choppier graphics.

I checked the drivers for my graphics card, my modem, router, my service provider... THEY were all fine.

So... I wonder what's up...

I had part of my powers not appearing in the buff bar - it looked like my armor toggles had dropped, but I wasn't dying and the power tray still showed them active.

Eating multiple insps has been slow - I keep one line over F1 clear to get new drops and just eat them all when they drop, and when I hit a large group solo and it fills, I get lag before I can eat all 4. The top one now regularly freezes in place until there is another drop.

I've had lag in several places relating to salvage. When getting multiple common salvage from AE, it will stop allowing me to roll, but the marker for salvage in the tray will not have turned red yet, and it will say 77/80. Not until I zone will it turn red and say 80/80. The opposite happens when placing salvage in bins in my base, where it will show several pieces and still list them as 3/80, but will not allow them to transfer to the bins. But then when I zone, it will change to 0/80.

In WW, placing anything for sale will normally not remove it from the "Stored" section until someone buys it and I can claim the inf.

It looks like some things are not updating when my client tells them to, and instead only when something on the server causes an update.

We've forwarded these concerns along to Tech Support to investigate. I'll update as soon as we have more information.

Still the same issues but Yay for the red name!

Ah, good. I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one seeing these issues. Two evenings ago the BAF escapees were rubber-banding all over the walkways and, even in non-trial solo missions, my attack power animations would sometimes be shown and sometimes not.

Using /netgraph 1, I saw many more solid red bands than is usual.

Hope this helps,

I played a bit last night after work. From approximately 5-7 PM (US East), everything was fine. No lag, no weird spikes in netgraph. Then I went to dinner, and came back around 9:30 PM. The lag was back with a vengeance. I stuttered my way through a Moonfire TF (fortunately my team was very understanding) then gave up. No changes in computer, network, etc between the two sessions.

I haven't been able to play much lately but was playing this morning doing an ITF and someone mentioned red bars in netgraph...

I looked at my netgraph and no red bars for me...one other person said they saw a few but nothing bad.

I didn't have any lag at all (hooray for no-lag, lag-hill ) until the last mission...for some reason was a bit choppy....forgot to check netgraph then though.

I have noticed when I was solo'ing a bit that in my real numbers mini-window I usually have the tohit bonus and dmg bonus being monitored on all of my toons...playing my kin/rad def...using Fulcrum Shift or Aim/etc....it would take a second (long enough to notice it) for the real numbers to update....just weird...

This seems to be causing serious data loss to the client. In iTrials, it causes the league window to freak out. People disconnect, and when they return, their apparent team assignment does not update for everyone.

Sometimes, multiple people experience loss of the league window, and appear as if not on any team. This can happen on a normal team as well. The person sees all allies as unteamed/unleagued, and has no team quit button - the only way to fix this is to kick them from the team or move them to another team if on a league.

My power status tray is clearly wrong often. It will be missing whole rows of powers I know are active because they are passives, accolades, etc. I was on a league where the only powers showing were Fulcrum Shift and Mystic Fortune... when I was running five toggles and have every passive accolade.

This all seems to make people prone to crash. I never crash in CoH. In the last two days I have a couple of times, always when my UI seems to be freaking out in the same way it does when it loses synch with what team I am in. Other people in leagues in particular are describing what seems to be the same thing happening.

My power icons do not update properly in heavy combat. This is not "button lag". I have never experienced this before, not quite like this. I am also prone to not animate my attacks. They just appear from my body. Sometimes my powers seem to activate out of order after a delay.

I am inferring, perhaps incorrectly, that whatever is wrong is sending bad update data that results in our game client being out of synch, and sometimes it's so garbled that it crashes us.


Uberguy posted this in another thread but it best describes whats happening to alot of us.
