Anyone else getting an incredibly silly quantity of lost/late packets tonight?
Edit: Seems like that's a yes. Do the devs know anything about this lag?

Lag Persists (0915 EST)
GM Hyperion seemed to state that the lag was more or less resolved after some "tweaks" were made.
Definitely not better. =(
It's not my connection either:

Yeah it was resolved shortly after the "tweaks" (We managed to get from floor 1 to floor 8 with minimal lag) but the next time we went through the floors the massive lag returned. Also I got a message I was moving to another "peer" in 20 minutes, so maybe a server reset is planned.

Release day
Well its release day if i'm not mistaken and i just tried it and its still not getting any better. Hopefully you guys can sort it out soon cause its a major issue. If this many players are having the problem, whats gonna happen when 10 times the amount of players join. Just means more people are gonna complain about it.
Good luck! I really hope the launch is successful
edit: sorry I'm over 9000 hours ahead of server time so its the 4th here : /

Laggy McLaggington
Yeah, I'm lagging much worse than I was a few days ago...could possibly be my connection since it was giving me trouble between preview and early weekend. Now my connection seems fine though. I can surf the web and even play other online games with minimal lag, but SK doesn't just lag...it eventually freezes completely and walking on spiked floor or anything doesn't hurt me.
Mon, 04/04/2011 - 07:21
#20
... but what kind of lag?
I dunno, before the release my laptop was performing just fine, but now in the Arena whenever the Trojan pops up, my game client goes into a total freeze for about 2-3 seconds... it never used to do that before. Is this truly connection lag or is my computer having troubles with things? Can't really put my finger on it.
For the rest yeah, I've done plenty of rubberbanding around. Presence of connection lag acknowledged :)

For me it only lagged (and lagged a bunch) during start up. By the time I created a character the lag stopped and It played just fine.

I managed to play solo (locked all other players from being able to join party) and that seemed to help for a while until my ISP started acting up again. I think it helped because if you open your party, you are constantly being bombarded by stray data regarding party and people who might join it...just a theory though.

@Skybreak: From bug reports I
@Skybreak: From bug reports I see you are on a laptop (or possibly desktop, but likely a laptop) with a very slow graphics controller that we'd probably consider too slow to play. You'll definitely want to set your Graphics Quality down in-game. But if it is a laptop it is further hindered by other slower components. So you're hitting some local issues rather than anything server side which haven't really experienced today.

@Skybreak
It is listed as an Intel 965/963, assuming that's the Q chipset that makes it a GMA 3000 which has no hardware shader.
You'll definitely want to set the Graphics Quality to low, but even with that you'll likely find it slow in many ways.

Been getting disconnected whenever I open up the energy market.
Since trading is just about the only thing I can do on this computer, I would like to know if this is a problem only I am experiencing, or something other people are getting too.

Release/Patch Lag
I am also receiving a great amount of lag when updating my client when I first open Spiral Knights. Is this the same reason as the game play lag?

My internet sucks, so idk if that's the reason, but my ping sucks. It isn't the best when in the refugee camp, but it's playable. When I go down into the clockworks though, my ping goes to red and the game is unplayable. I also disconnect a lot when in the clockworks. The game seems fun, so hopefully I will be able to play without horrible ping soon.:)

@iZach
Define "Sucks". Having a bad Internet connection would almost undoubtedly cause issues such as having high latency. Although I remember months ago I was able to play lag free but now more people have come on it seems the servers aren't capable of providing the same quality of play to everyone especially those who are on the lower end.

Wireless is horrible for gaming. I used to have 5.6Mbps Wireless and I was still having so many problems with online gaming. I'm on 256kbps Wired and unless the game is offering lots of servers (High quality and/or close to my area) I usually have some sort of lag.
Although the strange thing is MMO games are some of the few games I ever get lag in.

It's fine in town and in dungeons solo, but whenever I join a party of more than 2 people, I get periodic lag spikes every 2 or 3 seconds. It's super a lot of annoying...
My internet connection and system specs should be more than enough to play this on max settings with no lag or hiccups at all... But I'm getting a game killing amount of them... Kind of sucks lol.

@LilSassy
Generally most universities will either block or limit traffic to (generally) everything but Port 80 (Interwebs). It's generally to be expected to either not play Online games or for them to run poorly. Although I would say it is server side, playing on a 256kb/s was fantastic during the preview events but as more players join the servers aren't able to accommodate everyone so the people with the slower connections are the first to experience the pain.

If you have 512/128kbps I don't think you'll notice much difference between before and now. Right as of this moment and before the server crash, the game has been mostly fine. but I believe that's because I've mostly gotten used to it.
Oh and most games these days list 512/128 as minimum requirement now :/ though I'm on ADSL 2 and my connection is like 5mbps/768kbps

Count me in with the people
Count me in with the people who have a really slow connection speed with this game.
Got a pretty fast speed normally. Couldn't tell you exactly what speed, but I've never had any issues this bad before with any other games, or downloading files.
I've done a lot of searching and nobody seems to have even hinted at a solution to the problem.
Do there need to be ports opened on a router? I can't seem to find any sort of information on that.
Any help is appreciated.

If it helps, I'm lagging everywhere, not just the dungeons. In fact, sometimes I lag LESS when I solo dungeons (goes back to red as soon as I get halfway through the level, though).
It's actually pretty interesting playing without dungeons. I've made enough money on the market to buy a couple pieces of 2* gear and made friends with a Brazilian player who I met in the plaza.
