That was happening to me this morning, and I was getting thick red bars from /netgraph 1 in the game. |

It suddenly reverted to normal for me about half an hour ago.

First problem: I crash on loading redside. ALL THE TIME. It actually started about two months ago, when I would try to load a zone, the bar would get to half and I would crash to the log-in screen. Usually it happened with St. Martial or Grandville. I updated my graphics drivers and though it was fixed, but a few weeks ago there was a patch and now it's worse. I've just tried about five times to load up a Blaster parked in Port Oakes. It hasn't happened blueside....yet. Second problem: Network lag. Started a few weeks ago. Comes and goes. Buff icons come and go, powers aren't animating, enemies are jumping around, and my netgraph is a spiky red mess. Third problem: The launcher. I can play fine all day, exit the game normally, no crashing, and the next time I try to launch it tells me I need to repair files. The beta client is even worse, I need up update and repair and update and repair over and over again before I can get in. I've also been intermittently unable to connect to the updater. Today it is especially horrible. Fourth problem: The forums. I often get a "server not found" message when trying to access them, and today they are loading like molasses. It looks like the network lag isn't just me, and someone forgot to feed the hamsters. But I haven't seen much about the crashes on loading and the launcher issues. What could be causing them? |
The reason it can't be fully tested on beta is because populating the store with the millions of purchases previously made by our users takes several days and effectively renders the environment unusable while it is being updated. Because of this, some environments (like our beta environment) were not the places we wanted to spend this time, it was more prudent to utilize our time with those environments testing other features. The Live environment has been tested internally for this functionality specifically
So they can't populate millions of purchases previously made by the users on the beta server so they throw it on the live environment to test internally,what does that mean?
Wouldn't that cause major lag, rubberbanding, buff trays to act all screwy, huge red spikes on the netgraph, disconnects,powers not in sync with whats going on in game?
Thought I would throw that out there.

Just saying, today has been full of issues logging in 
So frustrated right now...

I was able to log in, then I needed to swap toons for a LGTF...oh wait...I can't log in AGAIN!
After a few minutes and attempts, I was able to log in again and play on my Fire/Earth Dom. to do the LGTF.
But then I get that lovely random LCTMS (lost connection to mapserver) bug that I randomly get once a month or so when trying to enter missions....
Now I'm stuck and can't log in again...grr...on the Defeat Weakened Hamidon mission in the LGTF too...hopefully the team has enough holds without me to do it....
Grrr...

I'm guessing that's part of the problem. Everything else is just fine. While I was in the game no lag what-so-ever (I did get booted out, LCTMS, once during the TF but beyond that no issues until the random LCTMS mission bug).
Just glad this isn't during/after the i21 launch....grrr

It won't help you, but I get the exact same thing when I run the Game Adviser. The difference is, I do not have connection issues.|

I think that part of the Adviser is broke, I just don't have a clue which end it is broken on.
Hmm, well I was able to get on tonight on the first try (I think I got on around 9pm EDT)....
