Quoted from "regentego;506493"

First of all we had two sieges, meh...then we started lagging at minute 18, then I crashed, could not get back in. Second night in a row. Yeah too frustrated to rant.


I can vouch for that, we were in siege with his guild and knew going in they were tagged with 2 sieges. Also noted when they started crashing and not coming back in was very early on like ebil stated.

On our side tonite for the first time since this problem started, not one of us had the horrible lag, at least not that was stated to the officers. A win is a win, but I would prefer a tie or even a loss with a hell of a fight rather than fighting 1-2 players because of this.

Another thing to note is that lag outside of siege at times seems to pick up while siege is going on, have had several of our members state same, and a cpl of them normally have no lag whatsoever outside siege.

siege lag is terrible past the 30min mark but if you can finish it within 20minutes its usually lag free atleast from my experience :)

Found something that seems to work

Until they get sw servers fixed. This has worked for me the past two nights. One of my guildies who was apparently never getting the lag problem, suggested this.

Run cmd to get a dos window
enter these commands

ipconfig /release all

then

ipconfig /renew

This basically resets all your ip addresses. This didn't work for me because of the way my router is set up. So, instead, I just unplugged my cable modem and router and plugged them back in, just before siege wars started. The past two nights I had no lagg problems.

Interesting, our guild, Unity, has won nearly every game since the lag problem began, mostly because we have nearly 40 people playing each night and after lag takes out 3/4 of both teams, we outnumber them. Lag is our friend!

Last two seiges, I survived, was lagged about 5 minutes behind everything, but i survived, without crashing. However, seige rewards record showed me as receiving two packages, and once booted out of seige....I got nothing in my backpack, no packages, no badges...So two successive nights of an hour wasted....

Griimdal is also experiancing this lag and unable to log back into siege for a long period of time when crashed, Also i have noted myself and others not getting their siege rewards, even if we win, SOME of the members dont get it. All have issued support letters, and we have recieved compensaition, but honestly folks, that just isn't right. The other thing I have noticed during siege, when we go up against Reni/govinda and others, we honestly think you are hacking because of the jerky movements and the inability to target your players to attack - THEN came the surprise last siege, in game the opposition accused US of the very same things we were yelling at each other in Vent about THEM.. *eye opener* its SIEGE not the players and guilds that are messed up. what can we do to help this get organized and fixed? We love siege - especially since the Nurf on pvp =(

Hiya silenteye,

Todays maintenance was a general one, there were no major changes or fixes aside from the removal of the "riddle relay race" NPCs.

Just wanted to clear this up for you.


The above quote is from http://forum.us.runesofmagic.com/showthread.php?t=68622

Guess tonight we can expect more of the same.

BTW, housing chests on Osha and Indigo have been missing for approx 1/4th a year, aka 4+ months, aka 17+ weeks, aka approx 120+ days.

Maybe we can expect a playable version of siege by 2013.

So basically you're exploiting the lag issue for easy wins and openly admitting it? Hmm....

I have no hope for today's Siege war. After reading The post about no major fixes we can get ready to lag even harder.

Update after this recent maintenance - the lag is still here. Exact same thing is still happening as has already been mentioned in this massive thread. 10 minutes into siege war the lag monster hits etc. etc. etc.

So, um what's the plan now??

Lag started on seige once again, this is after the maintance. I would like to thank runewalker and frogster for looking into the problem but it looks like a fail once again. At the 20 minute mark in sw lag 3-8 seconds, 25 minutes +30 second lag, 30 minutes +1 minute. As I type I am on our castle buffing watching a minute tick by before the cast starts.

True to my word I have not bought any diamonds and will not until this gets fixed. We have had more than one member take a game break saying if SW is broke it is becoming pointless. Please look into the issue I love this game but after over 2 years of Siege War beta, my frustraition is getting close to the top.

please just humor me and check the synchronization of the clocks on the servers since it's very likely the 3 minute time differentiation is causing server bouncing. maybe get us into the 20th century and set them up on the same NTP servers?

...or you could get CRAZY and start grepping the server logs for errors?

I know this is a PVE game so you might not care about PVP events like siege, but your lack of response is like passively telling a large portion of your paying customers that play and gear largely just to have fun in siege to basically quit and find another game.

Oh well.

Took longer for lag to start.

A bit over 1/2 hour to get to 3 min lag, so better. But harsh.


Well 10 min before the end a bunch got dumped adn could not get back in . Several had us no longer regged for SW as well.

The only way to not "exploit it" would be to leave if you're not lagging.. o.o Good luck with that?

The extreme Siege lag followed by crashes followed by the inablility to get back into siege(you crash to login when you try) makes Siege unplayable, which makes RoM less worthwhile to play at all.

Congratualtions on degrading Siege back to what it was a year and a half ago. You should be checking to see what was done then to fix the problem.

Moving the servers to a low rent farm was a bad, bad idea.


(Now I can't even get back into RoM, it hangs on loading zone (Thunderhoof). Oh well, there's always **** to play.

Great job fixing SW. Man, you guys were right about them big changes you said were to help fix sw next time servers go down :) ohh wait... nvm you didn't do anything.. If i remember right someone said NO fixs were placed in this server down time.

Let me guess, soon we will get a replay saying oh NEXT time servers go down we will try to fix it >.>

(rage sorry)

And 1vs1 and all the good stuff work fine.
