nameless Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Christmas lag? Both servers I had been playing on stops responding for 1 minute once every 5 minutes (I doubt this is server saving) This never happened before (excluding extra life event) and had been exaggerating since Christmas. Is it just me or is it a global issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deedoubleu Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Servers seem to lag much more than pre event for me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetJaguar Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 LAg on officials: Worse and worse... I play on the Island PVE 48 server. Lag is just getting worse and worse..its like the old days when the game first came out and you would rubberband/warp back to what you were last doing. I think you can play 20 mins or so fine and then its lagville. Why? The game used to support 60 players then it got bumped to the current 70. It cant even support 20 online; can you imagine 70???? Why is this an issue when the games been out for years now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stability and handling of 70 players and bases should have been envisioned at the games creation; not an issue 2 years later down the road.

That is impossible to foresee 2 to 3 years forward how the server performance is gonna be. There is no way to tell what has gone into the game at that point. And ark was planned to be pvp game at the start. PVE was after thought. You can blame the current lag to huge box bases that ppl keep reseting once a week and not even playing. Just keep reseting them week after week for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayley Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 I too experience increasing lag and rubber banding on all servers I play currently 7 servers what I have noticed as I travel around are huge bases and I mean HUGE!! and also some bases with excessive number of tec cloning devices and I am talking excess of 30 and I notice gigas in base too many to count they packed like sardines now if that doesn’t cause issues with lag then I will eat my hat, why would anyone need such an amount of clones or dinos it’s beyond my comprehension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not wiping is directly related to the increased clutter and lag. Survival games like this weren't designed for PvE. Ark wasn't. PvE was just turning off PvP with no foresight for the longterm consequences. The best solution for WC (best in a business sense) would be discontinuing official PvE servers. Release the save files like legacy. Then either wipe or turn on PvP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this will achieve what exactly? Pvp servers lag as well. Also discontinuing more popular gametype is not wise at all to put it lightly, it is as far from best solution as it gets.

nameless Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 Um... just a question here: will what we talk about here actually change anything? If some one actually have a perfect idea, will WC come and read it and do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nameless Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 I didn't think lag is a problem on PVE servers before Christmas. Before event, server stops responding every 15 minutes; after event, every 5 minutes (with mass disconnections in serious cases). That is, it seems like something in the event extensively exaggerated the lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nameless Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 I sent a request to support for an unplayable server and it instantly showed "solved", but nothing happened on the server. Did I do anything wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axirpy Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Reporting server outage is the best solution to catch their attention on this problem I think. Having the same issue on pve Island43, server freezes every 5 minutes instead of 15 minutes, sometimes with a connection loss. Not every players are getting kicked while those lags occurs. The problem is not happening on my Aberration server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nameless Posted December 28, 2019 Author Share Posted December 28, 2019 You meant reporting as "outage", not "lag"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axirpy Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Using the "report server outage" button on the main official site (the one that leads to a Google doc), and reporting what is actually happening. Disconnecting/kicking, or Poor performance/rubberbanding. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/19p2_r2z9wyazMXiJIlFINw0M32WCoUkv039yemwR3lE/viewform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVEC Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 This is getting out of hand, I play on Island PvE and ever since the event the lag has been getting worse to the point where the server is constantly crashing. I was used to the 15 minute world saves, but as said above it seems that there is a save every 5 minutes now. The server I play on is currently down. The most recent glitch is the game will crash for all players on the server but the server seems fine. WC needs to focus on fixing the game and improving the servers before releasing new content.

One of the servers I am on rebooted nd the lag is gone.... for now I believe Christmas event introduced a server side memory leak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PvE would need to be a completely re-envisioned mode that accounts for longterm stability and forced player cooperation mechanics. As it is now, the server ecosystem isn't sustainable. Maybe if there are environmental threats. Tamed dinos going crazy, destructive earthquakes/tornadoes/tidal waves/etc. I doubt WC would actually spend the time and money to do this.
