1-2 second lag,instances and world

[Slacksy]

Installing the 30 day trial of WTFast has fixed it for me. Should be a good temp fix until the network routing is fixed


Hi,

Since the 14th Jan I've started getting these sometimes shot lag spikes where players and NPCs freeze for 1-2 seconds (sometimes longer) then suddenly catch up to where they should be.

This happened suddenly and my girlfriend who sits next to me has the exact same issue that started at the same time as me. We haven't made any changes at our end and I'm still pinging the montreal data centers at the same as before 80-100ms and no packet loss.

This has made coil and the extreme modes totally unplayable for us both.

We're in the UK using SKY broadband

I've traced and there seems to be something weird going on with this node
