I hope this helps. I have honestly stopped playing for the time being until they get whatever is wrong fixed if they even do. I am just killing time until crestfall releases and I can start the pte.
In one of the posts they mention mudfish vpn https://mudfish.net/. You can try that not sure of any free vpn services. This post in elysium reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/ElysiumProject/comments/5yvor1/att_users_are_you_lagging_high_latency_as_well/#bottom-comments. talked about most of the issues.
Not that is free as of yet to everyone. I get a free vpn from school, but haven't tried it yet. I will have to check the elysium sub reddit and see. I think there might have been on mentioned there. I will update once I have that information.
It also seems that mostly ATT users are affected. It started after the ddos attacks last week so maybe it is something ATT is doing. It could be throttling in response or something else. I was on the subreddit and found tons of posts about it.
Yea it seems to be a provider issue. There is a hop timing out for some reason. It is weird that it started out of nowhere. Thanks for the advice/help.
I am not sure if others are having this problem or not. I find that since Thursday the lag has made playing almost impossible. I normally have about 100-200 ms. Since Thursday it has been anywhere from 700-1500 constantly. I haven't seen any updates on the site or twitter. My girlfriend has been having the same problem. We restarted our machines and our router to try and fix it. I was curious if anyone else has been having the same issue.
