Unplayable due to lag

[pharmdee 0]

I've been trying to play since about 1pm server today. At first I could not remain connected. When I would log on everyone's name would be unknown, then less than a minute later I would disconnect. I finally managed to stay on long enough to make it to Dire Maul for some solo farming. The high latency is making it impossible to play, however. I have deleted my WDB folder, the config file from the WTF folder, and my game is not saved in program files. I have also reset my modem and router. I have tested my speed which is 130 Mbps and I have no packet loss. Is there currently a known issue affected certain ISPs? I have checked twitter, discord, and the forums but haven't seen an official announcement :/

Anecdotally, some US based ISPs seem to have had extreme lag.

I am UK based, servers are in France

Ana 27ms 

Elsy 22ms

Darr 26ms

 

So, I would guess it's ISP related,. Several US residents have reported 200ms or thereabouts.

Thanks for the response. Ashe just posted on discord that they are now aware of the issue most NA players are having.

Yes, I was just about to post there myself. So, it's known about. Hopefully some kind of solution will be thought of. I believe proxies were used not so long ago, but I was unaware of the details.

I had this problem, then checked my realmlist.wtf file and found that it wasn't adjusted to:

set realmlist logon.elysium-project.org

Once I made the adjustment, it helped immensely.  If you leave it at the default it probably has to be redirected through a congested server.

That may be a solution for some. Thanks
