Who has seen lag/delay weirdness over the last week?

[infinite loop]

So, who has seen weird shit lately? I've posted along with a ton of other people on the OF tech support, but have gotten no answer. I just want to get a feel for how big a problem this is, and see if we can escalate it to someone at SOE who will take a look at it. Basically, I've seen these things lately:

After more encounters with this problem last night, I am now positive that it has nothing to do with a CPU getting maxed out or anything. These issues occur when I am in a tower by myself, or when I'm in a big battle. Number of people on the continent or same area seems to have no bearing. Here's some of the weird things I've had happen to me since this past Saturday, that have NEVER happened in my 8 months of playing:
1) Stamina draining to ~20% while using surge. Turn off surge, and stamina immediately shoots back up to 100%. This happened about 1/3 of the time I used surge yesterday, and there was no lag-like delay when it happened, it was immediate.
2) Players taking enough damage to be killed 4 times over and not dying, and players dying without seemingly ever being shot. I've had both happen. I'll unload a full clip of a jackhammer into someone from behind, and they won't die, or they will die 10 seconds later. I'll be running down a hallway, and all of a sudden be dead, and it says I was killed by a player I never saw.
3) Players appearing/disappearing out of nowhere. Just two days ago, I was at a friendly base, defending it from 2 or 3 attackers, who were respawning at an ams nearby. I cleared out the spawn room, and was repairing a spawn tube. My audio amp showed a red dot approaching the courtyard outside. That red dot then got stuck for a few seconds, then it reappeared right next to me, as I got mowed down by an MCG. The spawn room doors never opened.
4) I get the "computer has stopped receiving packets" message while loading the game, every time now. But my packetloss in-game is never over 1%.
5) Using equipment terminals/lockers/inventory freezes, or doesn't respond for several seconds.
6) Repairing armor/health freezes at some point, then a few seconds later shoots up to 100%.
7) Vehicles stop randomly, then a few seconds later appear in a different place.

Having my outfit on teamspeak, I've found that we all seem to have these weird lag spikes at exactly the same time, every time. So, it is not my computer or connection. This is most definitely a server-side issue. What are your experiences over the last week?

Nope, its no problem of mine, but I play on Werner and maybe we don't have these problems.

HAHA. This is funny. I was playing today, and my stamina would go from about 20 to zero in a hearbeat.

What's up!? I didn't report it because I thought I would be attacked by (expletive deleted) gimps. I'm happy that someone else had the testicles to report it.

So really... What's up???

For some reason it takes me like 8 seconds to bail from an aircraft. Incidently it seems to be happening to alot of other people and I am getting alot more agile kills from dog fighting. No bailing for you, pussy!

[BadAsh]

I've noticed those as well... I"d also like to add 2 that I get frequently:

1. After firing my Phoenix my weapon won't reload so I have to hit reload several times and then suddenly it becomes "unstuck".

2. Walking up to a base door and having it NOT open for a few seconds. This kind of ruins your mad dash for cover and has gotten me killed by aircraft a few more times than I should have died.

Yeah, I think almost everyone has seen this. I was healing someone, and suddenly the bar stopped moving. The whole time there's a battle raging on the other side of the base wall. I stop healing the guy after about 10 seconds of no response from the bar, and about five seconds later, he's at full health. I've also seen the "You have a network issue" type box blink up a few times.

[Common]

Every one of those things is happening to me as well. I'll spot a person in a base hallway, start firing at them, all of a sudden I hear one shot and I'm dead and the player isn't even around me. This is a different beast then lag. I have a middle of the road comp, and I'm used to playing with lag - and this ain't lag (at least not on my end). Also, implants have a 3 or so second delay in switching on once activated. This all seems to have taken place since the patch to remove the holiday decorations - it's extremely annoying.

Whew! I thought I had ganked my settings or something! I was experiencing the same kind of weird stuff last night. Odd deaths, doors hanging up, weapons acting funny - all kinds of wacked things going on.

I am Emerald, by the way.

Hmm sounds like all you have lageritis, Dr. SecondRaven recomends a healthy new 512mb DDR RAM chip and a call me in the morning

1, 3, 4, 5, 7

The other day I watched a Magmower drive by me and then 2 seconds later it told me I was run over and killed by said Mag.

here's a new one too

1) Back door appears closed but I'll be getting hit by bullets from someone topside. I think the bug is that the door is actually open but isn't appearing open to me. Not unti I run up the stairs do I see dozens of enemies outside. That kinda sucks because with my thumper I rely on starting to shoot when I see the door open and all of a sudden I see a VS or TR comming right for my face. No Hope.

You know, I haven't signed on since the decorations were removed, and I've had a few of those problems as well. Maybe it's a server problem, or a code problem.

Then again, they didn't modify the code at all over christmas.

[Liquidtide]

Sorry for the double post but it's two ideas.

This has nothing to do with lag, I, as well as most players on here, pull a constant 20fps on these battles when this is happening. It's not client side it's deffinetly server side based. Also don't say things like, well maybe it was someone else you didn't see on your radar. Most all of us here have been playing 3-6 months + don't think we are n00bs.

Respectfully,

Got a second opinion, Dr.?

I got a second opinion! Get 2 gigs! You can always use more RAM, lol.
