Cloud Data Center Stress Test Feedback Thread (November 2023)

[catboykit]

I am located in the US Midwest and have a gigabit connection. I generally have a good experience playing the game, and only ever have mild problems with lag when the servers are very busy. The only potential source of issues is that I play behind very heavy NAT (to sum up what this means: I share an IPv4 address with a lot of people and IPv6 is not available through my ISP).

Unfortunately, I ran into some issues with the cloud test server. I tried to run a dungeon (Amaurot) as AST with Duty Support and consistently experienced an issue in which I could not cast spells on an enemy that was right next to me, with the message "Target out of range". While I would sometimes be able to cast, once the issue struck it would take quite a bit of moving around for me to be able to cast again. I tried going into the duty three different times and it happened every single time.

There weren't any other apparent signs of lag (for example, I wasn't taking damage from AOEs I had just left) outside of being unable to cast spells, but that could've just been good luck. (ETA: realized this might help narrow it down; Draw/Play were also working OK even while I was having this issue)

I went ahead and got a clip on Discord of what is happening; hopefully it is helpful.
