More lag in multi-pilot battles

Apr 05, 2013 TheRedSpy link
I realise there is another thread on this same bug, but every day I login there has been lag in the sector with multiple pilots where damage does not register at all. The first was in a multi-capship battle in H-2. I fully intended to die in my cappie but when I got to 10% nobody in the sector was doing any damage at all and I managed to turn around and leave the sector in my Trident Type M and there was no stopping me.

Then again today I logged in and landed a bunch of hits on DE which didn't register at all.

This used to happen once in a blue moon, now it's happening all the time. We've had a thread going on here in the bugs forum about it but apparently that doesn't deserve a dev response like the other threads?

I realise you guys are busy, I really do - but could you please talk to us about this one a little?

What are you hoping to achieve by creating this thread?

We already have one thread on this very topic; starting a new one isn't really necessary.

DE lags all the damn time.

Probably an australian thing; your lag is now affecting others, you should quit playing for the good of all. :p

Because no reply is why starting a new thread. I always assumed this was because we were on smaller servers and the devs haven't upgraded the hardware due to low player numbers - looks like they're running a test this weekend.

I just think it deserves a response, even if it's just a a 'this is probably why it happens we'll look into it'

There isn't anyone to tell you that right now. We're swamped. I understand the desire for a response, but creating more threads will not enhance that situation.

I don't know what's happening or why. There are a lot of possibilities. The ones that players usually assume are usually wrong.
