Is lag getting worse and worse?

[Aria Athena]

It was perfectly fine for like 2 weeks, and then 4-5 days ago it went to ♥♥♥♥. Now it's almost unplayable. I know it's not only my issue, cause I've been in a few parties were almost everyone was lagging, but I don't know how widespread it is.

idk to be honest it ran smooth a couple days ago for me but today/yesterday my frames dropped by a lot and i think it might be a driver issue for me so maybe check your drivers

[Skillo]

two days ago my game became unplayable after a certain time, game would freeze (lag) and resume every 5 seconds. Game felt turn based lmao

fortunately i didn't happen again

my lag is not as bad as yours, but it did get worse over last week or two. It takes way long to open anything when you teleport to town after a world boss fight

First of all, let's correctly define what lag is here: lag is, to put it simple, an issue in the line between your computer and the server, there's a delay in the actions. This could be an issue on the server side, an issue with your router/pc lan/wifi connection or an issue somewhere in the line between you and the server.

Ramming in the other hand, is when there's an issue with your computer and the game feels like it's changing into a powerpoint. The rootcause can vary, from ram, overheating, GPU, etc.

This is just to keep it simple.

On my side, since the update, the server seems to be lagging, for example I jump from a tower and when shifting it shifts to the land form instead of the flying one thinking I'm still on land.

It started like that, but since then it's gone several steps further. Now the server constantly stops sending information to my pc for 5-10 seconds, during which I just have to guess what is happening. Even in a solo instance, it's currently unplayable. It's one step ahead from disconnecting me.

Dude this is exactly how I feel! Feeling turn-based for real (Lol). Man I'm glad I'm not the only one.

lol...yeah i'm australian so the difference between bad lag and bad lag is hard to tell but as a healer i'm spamming the button to heal and when it finally registers is when the bosses need to be blocked. I then press to block but again it takes 2-3 tries and it's too late.

then you curse because you fall, since the flight was not activated and you die and you have to restart from far away or pay to return to the closest point where you died.

Happening to me for like 2-3 days now. During the launch with billions of people playing I had 0 issues with lags up until like 3 days ago. Now I get freezes for like 1-5 seconds and fast forward afterwards and I just hope I don't die during those 5 seconds.
Today I had like 6 disconnects during couple of hours play.

It might be my ISP as well I cannot know for sure. If that's the case, not sure what I can do about it, can't really change one. And calling a support who will read from the script is a waste of time.

Essentially I just need to hope that it's a very temporary fault, whoever is at blame TL or my ISP.

[Squeaks]

Happening to me as well. Doing mechanics is super annoying when everything on my screen stops moving for 3-5 seconds. I'm a healer as well so it's been rough trying to heal after large aoe, people end up dying.

This did not happen to me at all, my internet is not the issue. I have over a gig up/down and my speed tests and network tests are all green.

MY GAME WON'T EVEN LOAD PAST THE HOMEPAGE ALL OF A SUDDEN... it was operating perfectly fine up until yesterday. I'm assuming this recent spike in lag is due to an update????

[Bubbless]

Same thing is happening to me. The game stutters when I'm opening anything, speaking to NPC's, or just running around the world in and out of combat, but I feel the effects in combat more so. Frame rate is fine, it seems like server side issue for sure.

[Church]

Lag is so bad I cant even fly (glide) anymore. Just shoots me back to the ground.

[Kyutaru]

Only thing that changed in the last update is the forced shader compilation no longer happens. Now they compile your shaders while you're playing the game. If this is disrupting your game experience, then your PC can't handle doing both operations simultaneously.

Everyone I know is experiencing lag, today i've been experiencing it really bad, from rubberbanding, flight not triggering or cancelling out of nowhere, menus not working (buttons taking 2-6 seconds to react), teleport screen lock fore more than 10 seconds (yesterday I could load in a second for example), like right now i can't even go do contracts, fishing, w/e.

Edit: I don't know if this helped me or the lag spikes stopped, but I lowered the amount of players loaded to medium and the lag started going down. o.O
