Ever since the most recent update, the mission updating process hijacks all of VO for approximately 10-15 seconds for me. Also I've noticed it doesn't update the mission list until I open it for the first time, or until I dock (if I'm in open space on login).

Also having this problem. Can't take any missions, switch ships, etc while it's waiting. It even jams up chat so received messages dont appear.

Which OS are you guys running?

You two are both in ITAN... could it be due to a guild-specific plug-in perhaps?

I'm consistently getting at least a 15 second delay if I try to launch straight away or try to double click a mission after logging in, with or without plugins.

I'm using Arch Linux with a reasonably good connection speed, my character is UIT.

Try this: login, buy a ship and lauch. Now you're outside in a ship without power cell :)

Patterner, how do you bypass the error message that comes up saying you need a power cell to launch?

greenwall, The mission list updates when you first view it. It should definitely not take 10-15 seconds, especially with no plugins loaded.

Woodlander, launch straight away from where? Like log in and then launch? Or what exact sequence of actions you do?

This is driving me crazy, this lag.

I tried Patteners suggestion, you can indeed launch with no power cell if you buy and launch during the laggytimes. You can't turbo, (dunno about shooting, I had no weapon equipped), but you can fly around just fine. No error message shows.

Faille.

Well I can't launch, I get stuck at the launch message if I try, then when I finally launch, I go out and try to mine, I get to about 70ish/160 cu full and then the client crashes.
I noticed that during this time I had a bps out: 120 in: 1089
The chat was lagging behind and completely out of sync with XChat live chat.
It's making the game unplayable for me.

This is the launch bug.

Does the mission board reload every few minutes or something?

It updated every few minutes but only if it is visible.

Did you try disabling all of your plugins? Maybe a plugin is causing the problems.

I'll give it a try.

Disabled ALL plugins, and this lag issue is still occurring.

I dunno if this would help the devs resolve the issue, but I could setup a VPN that could simulate some lag for the VO devs. I am in the UK and have a 60/6mbit connection, but still see some oddness with warp lag.

Not really seen the kind of lag Kierky talks about though.

I cannot mine effectively either, whenever I try, the lag kicks in and completely knocks my client out. If I log off, I find I'll have ore in my hold, however, during the mining there are no progress bars, or Mining License increases. The chat is also put into like 16x slow motion. Eventually it will log me off (probably due to extreme loss of sync).
Would it help if I created a video which showed the progression of the problem?

I believe that this lag started when you guys implemented the non local missions list (Vendetta 1.8.214).

This is even worse on android. I just waited like 2 min with my newb character for the darn thing to actually let me launch...

I'm going to resurrect this, because mining is completely impossible for me.
When I first log on and I'm in space, I can mine one load just fine.
But when I unload it into the station, then launch out again, the lag happens, for mining.
everything appears progressively slower and then the client loses sync and disconnects me.

So, basically if I want to mine, then I need to log off, log on, mine, unload, launch, log off, log on, mine.
It's maddening.

Could you stop this auto updating and please add an option to manually update?
This has gone on long enough.

I'm now just flying in space and I get 906-2000 bps in.
