What Did They Break On Sunday?

I have so much lag in instances it's unplayable. It's been worse since they re-opened sales.

Also, around 1-2 hour queues for AK... o.O SE you really need to give us BETTER servers. Dedicated data centers would be nice too.

I hope SE actually invest money into sorting out the servers properly or people will get frustrated and leave and the population will dwindle. The Chimera/Hydra fights for relic quest is insanely laggy.

They accidently stuck the hampster that spun its little wheel that ran the servers in the microwave.

I am also getting this problem in instances and primal fights. Everything will freeze for a second then speed up real fast then freeze and speed up again over and over. Sometimes it's fine and I don't have a problem but when I do it's pretty horrible. I thought it could be something on my end so I checked my router and then called my isp everything is fine there so I checked my cpu and gcard also everything seems fine with those too. No overheating or anything. I played at the launch of game up until the last few days I get this freeze speed up thing.

I need to do Titan for my relic. I have the gear I just need this freezing speed up thing in instances to stop.

Any idea if they will be able to fix it soonish? Have they acknowledged the problem? It can be really bad at times.

Bumping. I just tried Titan again and I'm getting the pause then speed up and pause and speed up thing.

Has anyone found anything that helped?

There isn't anything that will help, they are having memory issues with the instance servers as Yoshi P stated in the "Server and system improvements" thread that was linked earlier in this thread.

Been having the same lag as OP since early access. really bad during prime-time hours.

I'm glad to know this isn't just me. I thought maybe something had happened to my connection, since it was totally fine prior to about a week ago.

I get very frequent halts in in the game, around every 30-60 seconds usually, followed by a second of high speed catch-up. It's extremely irritating and makes the game nearly unplayable with the AoE dodge mechanics.

I thought it was just me, lol, never had lag like this before, hope it gets fixed, its weird lag, that makes me a think for a 2nd my pc froze.

I'm getting the pause and speed up issue just trying to craft. The game pauses as I kneel down then catches up my crafting UI appears (an action that itself is taking 5-10+ secs now). Other members from one of my ls's are also noting these weird pause/speed up lag spikes.
