Are others also experiencing this terrible lag raging on Spiral Knights? I just played a Lockdown game to get some quick action going, we all ran out on Ramparts and few minutes later a terrible, terrible lag struck. Never before have I experienced lag of this magnitude, literally freezing everything and then flinging me all over the place as enemies run over to hit my frozen spiral corpse, creating massive screen-spasms and what-not. I look at my connection bar and see it regularly drop to the single, red bar. I announced this several times, and assumed it was just my own scrap-top and interfail connection, but it turns out I was not the only one. I called it quits for Lockdown and returned to Haven, and found the same lag-spikes occuring even as I shambled my way towards the Arcade. I then concluded that I would not be able to play like this, at all, and logged out. Am I the only one suffering from this?
The Terrible Lag?
I've had this happen a few times. Both in LD and RJP. ( But not during JK himself at all. Hmm. )
For me, it seemed to pop up once every 10-20 minutes and last 30 seconds, then boom, gone. Other people I run/fight with are saying they lag at similar times.
I've suffered through this too, and it isn't pretty when you're in an arena and you've already wasted 50 mist or so.
I contemplated quitting the game over this, but I realized that I wasn't the only one who went through this. So I dealt with it.
Surprisingly enough, it's been working better for me recently.
I am not quitting, Vlad. Get your trolling behind out of here if you're not going to contribute to anything constructive.
I used to run the game pretty smoothly 3 months back when I used to play, when I play now, the lag is horrible in dungeons/lockdown.
Although, since OOO is becoming a "branch" of SEGA, perhaps they will give OOO better servers or... something. :P
I used to use my laptop to play, and it had semi-bad lag problem. Then, the battery didn't work, so it shut down alot. Then i tried
my iMac.
Best Graphics and No Lag so far! Yay :D
@vargja Yay iMac! r.i.p Steve Jobs :(
Today is really bad. I got the lag three times where it goes to 1 red bar and everything on the screen stops moving. I can't shield, swing or move and all the monsters just stand there doing their idle animation. When it comes back I'm across the room, dead.
This is completely different from the lag I've gotten used to where it goes to 1 red bar for a split second, the screen freezes then snaps into the updated position which mostly causing positional issues and occasionally results in getting hit. I can hold down shield when this happens and usually come out ok. These new lag spikes last over 10 seconds at a time and cannot be shielded.
Woohoo Shidara is quitting!
