The only place I am experienceing any lag at the time of these pings and tracerts is on RWK

I am not the only one on that was complaining about lag and my connection rate to the internet was over 17mbps at the time

[Northern Silence]

Looks like your issue is caused by
ae-61-61.csw1.Washington1.Level3.net 4.69.134.130

[Shotgun Opera]

All I know is at the time that was taken I had lag on S1 but not on S2
Every player on S1 is complaining about the lag. I have even gotte RTOs trying to chat.
It is getting worse and more frequent by the day.

[Glitchless]

There were server updates occuring today.

[Shotgun Opera]

are there server updates going on today too?
and have there been for the past week or so because the lag is occurring at roughly the same times every day its almost to the point you could set your watch by it. and its in the evenings too not just during the map update

Is there server updates going on now cause we all have lag again .

LOL you don't just type the URL in to command prompt to initiate a tracert or to ping.

You know what i don't give a **** its laggin like hell here period. I'm sure if you tried to do some plumbing work I would prob die laffing at what you would try to do. I don't know **** bout computers and don't really give a **** to know, other than get on do something I want or enjoy and not have the problems with lag as its been in the game lately.

Have a nice day.

[Jimcav]

I don't think the server 1 problems are caused by actual lag, internet latency, but are a performance issue on that machine. The timeouts and slow responses are a daily occurrance on S1 while at the same times S2 works fine. I've done pings and tracerts and they typically show the same pathing and response times, which makes sense with IP addresses of 64.34.186.9 and 64.34.186.10. Our connections are the same to both servers, but the results once connected seem to be the root of the problem. It looks like either S1 is doing a lot more work several times every day or it has a more general performance problem that should be addressed. I think looking at the internet connection is a red herring, unless it's a bad network card on S1, and the people who operate the servers should be looking into hardware to fix things.

For a game that everyone says there is no lag there sure is a ton of lag and as usual everyone has it but will anyone believe that all of playing have lag in the game prob not. I know you will post you want the ping well I got lucky on how to do it the other day and then the 2nd post i get crap for the way i posted so anyway screw the ping crap don't matter you will just say its not laggin yet all of us are bitching about the lag in the game that doesn't have lag that you say isn't their. And if you can make sense of all this its what i feel about the lag and being told that there isn't any lag .

[Northern Silence]

Does anyone actually want to assist in the problem or just bitch 24/7?

Calm, Collective, Caring. Goes a long way

[Jimcav]

At this point bitching probably IS helping get the problem fixed. It's not in the connections, those are the same to both servers and S2 doesn't have a problem when S1 does. We also can't do anything personally to diagnose or fix whatever is wrong at S1. The people who own and operate it will either fix it or ignore our problem, depending on whether or not their customer keeps telling them something is wrong. I doubt anyone at the server farm plays RWK so they won't know or care if the gameplay is suffering. If players keep complaining about "lag" Glitchless will have a reason to keep on the problem. If we stop bringing it up Glitchless will logically assume the problem is gone and stop trying to fix it. I'd keep the complaining polite here and try to be constructive, but I think we need to keep mentioning it if we want things to be fixed. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

[Northern Silence]

A nice log of when there was lag could help.

It takes time to diagnose an issue with Harddrives, CPU, or even memory. Especially if its a sporatic problem.

I had a problem with "lag" on one of my servers for a while whenever there was 10+ users on it, I did everything, upgraded memory, upgraded harddrives, CPU, non of which fixed the problem. Moved one of my high volume mysql Databases to a remote mysql and whala fixed everything.

Most of the time the problem isn't black and white, or just one thing. It can take time and diagnostics.

[Shotgun Opera]

its lagging right now ... I'm not gonna post a tracert or ping anymore as you keep telling us to post them and then saying they tell you nothing constructive but I will post when it is lagging and it is lagging now and has been for atleast an hour since I got home from the store. Aswell as there was lag through large portions of the day. Right now it would be more correct to say that not having lag is the sporadic condition. I agree with jimcav that we should keep it polite but stop telling us its on our side or in our connection. We are getting lag on s1 and not on s2 so it is obvious to all of us that it is not a connection problem and is not a problem with our individual computers.

[Drunken Froggie]

when 1 person reports lag here, everyone is lagging horribly on S1.

Not everyone reports the lag, they are lazy.

alot of days, the lag lasts all day, not intermittent 10 minutes here and there, we are talking about 8-10 hours long nearly every single day

as usual its laggin on S1 if anyone give a hoot. as SO posted I won't post ping or whatever as thats not the problem but from what I see nothing will be done about so I will just post its LAGGINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG, everytime it lags. its true people won't post as in chat they say why post nothing gets done about it well i'm posting. Please do something about this lag it is a daily problem lately.

lag left for a few mins and now its back again

and the lag fest contiunes even worse now so come join the fun plenty of lag for all and even some leftover for those of you who want extra feel free come play with the lag monster.
