Tempest Lagging.

Post by Magyk »

Tempest the last two weeks or so has been lagging way too much. I've asked Archi for restarts frequently, and often times that doesn't even fix the problem. It isn't just me, it's almost everyone in the server saying it's lagging. Whoever has the ability to talk to the provider (I'm guessing just Guard?), it'd be appreciated if you could. It's lagging frequently enough that you could rage at them for not providing you good service.

Yes. My ping as well as others is 200+ as compared with my usual tempest ping of around 90.

its usually when the number of players increase, the more the bandwidth is stretched. Frankly unless there's more than 8 peeps on at a time i don't notice any difference. Its really only when the server starts filling up to over 16 people that my lagometer starts exhibiting some lag spikes, but based on the number of instances where there are that many people onserver at any one time, the effect, to me at least, has been negligible.

Yes there is lagg when we are about 16 of us, but when it's lagging at 8 and that was common in these weeks, it's a problem, btw above 16-18 ppl there will be lagg because the game wasn't invited for such a big multiplayer game

I've had the server lag when it's just been about 3-5 of us. Although yes, it does seem to lag harder with more people.

Ok these past two weeks reguardless of team size lagg has been high. Lately ive been noticing a high influx of people on tempest on weekends. Take this saturday, four times during the day there were 20ppl on. Tempest has a prety steady ammount of people on the weekends. Usually in afternoon to about 7pm Tempest has a large population. I think the population of tempest has actually come back slightly. This rS thing brought back several individuals i knew back in 2010. Take Jan Sexy jan, G-guy, Storm Pooper and several others have come back and are playing again and plan to bring back to bring others over the summer. Siege may not have died:D

Siege is still dying, but the fact that we only have ONE public server instead of multiple like we had years ago is helping to slow the bleeding a little. Tempest does get a pretty large population (10-14) every day of the week during the afternoon. And it does fill right the eff up during the weekend.
