EXTREME Lag spikes?

[shane3x]

Note that this server has not had the best stability. Aegis is not quite bulit correctly to handle what goes on here, and therefore, players can recieve random d/c's or Failures To Connect, even if they are running a T1 line, on a newly installed XP Pro SP2, with high quality computer components, with nothing else installed on the computer but AnthemRO, and no anti-virus software, or firewalls or parental controls.

It's just not possible for everyone to have perfect stability with this server, unfortunately.

Now to those who come in saying "BUT ACEJAY, Aegis is infinitely more stable than other emulators, etc," guess what? We don't have the most up-to-date Aegis Version. We don't have the code that enables iRO to have MANY more players than we do online. We just don't.

The best we can do is hope that Talis somehow discovers a magical line of code that would let us play lag-free.

Donations won't exactly help, since we're already running on the best server money can buy, practically.

Ah well. Maybe we'll switch to eAthena

let us pray or get someone from anthem to work at iro or whatever so we an steal those codes

I don't really understand though, have we not been updated because the code for > 10.2 hasn't been released for Aegis (publically released) or is it because the person who used to deal with our updating is no longer with us and nobody present is able to?

Little bit of both to my understanding, if you look at the staff list we don't have a tech guy at the moment. I have heard other private servers which use aegis have updates past our own.

Hmm i'm gonna look into this, last time i tryed i think Aegis boards were down or something.

I've been getting lag spikes all of a sudden ingame, my screen will freeze for a few seconds or minutes (during which time I can heal myself, attack monsters etc. but it doesn't show) then suddenly the lag stops and every skill I'd cast when my screen is frozen casts all at once...
Haven't died from the lag, yet.

[Calamity Thesis]

Actually. Elements, what OS do you run on?

[AceJay]

Vista IIRC, also, Talon coded the updates for us, and he's released another semi-update.

[Dan Duh... What?]

These lag spikes occur in skellington while I"m niffing. It hella pisses me off cuz I"ll be attacking a huge mob and meating then it freezes so I stop meating, then suddenly the lag disappears but everything is sped up and I die -_-
Or I'll be walking in niff and it freezes but I keep holding the mouse button and my char will speed up to that direction and yea. It's outrageous folks ._.
Does this happen to anyone?

Same with me! Exactly the same thing =/

Windows XP.

Damn, me too. It wasn't like this until a couple of days ago. It could be the events and the fireworks and stuff. Let's just hope. @_@

I had the same problem as well last week, but after about three days it stopped lagging.

[Van~Candy]

I still can't say for sure if this is the cause, but I was online two nights ago during the day (when this became really bad for me) yet when it turned about 4-5 in the morning(GMT+0) it all went away and i was 100% fine, i tryed going to pvp,skellington,prison and pront. All was fine.

It seems likely thats to do with the amount of people online, I'll do the same test again maybe tonight or another night and see if it fixes itself in the same way, if it does then its obvious that its the servers problem, if not then it was a random occurance and the problem still is an X factor.

[Dan Duh... What?]

Hell yea guys ! It happened after the fire crackers and mvp raid and stuff. So maybe if the GM's remove those firecrackers, that gay lag at niff will go away >_<

Cuz like yo... I wanna make some money and I can't do it while lagging every 5 minutes and dying.

Or they can upgrade their computers, either way works I guess.

[Dan Duh... What?]

Man even after the maintenance, I still have the spike lag -_-

Just died at niff man >_<   I think I'm gonna delete RO and reinstall it

I stopped lagging for about a day, but it started back up yesterday.

I just woke up, so I'll post back if I find anymore lag.
