I m not ingame so I have no clue what lag issues there are, however this:
please remove it i have again over 1k ping from that event and i can't evne dance , ty
is probably the dumbest post ever ... so you got the response(s) you deserved
Hmm i think the problem is more then lag, entire clan "except tower group" mass crited about 5 times since the server came up, something to do with when the buff runs out, we all get a C++ error.
So far so good, looking like it will be an awesome two weeks.
event itself is nice.. love the glowing hands nd rewards are pretty sweet. but the lag its producing is unbearable.. i decided to log off due to this lag.
Please post the server you are on if you are having an issue with the event. If you could also describe the lag or other issue that you are experiencing, that would be helpful
Lyzira, any plans to restart servers or find solution to this problem? Nearly all clan logged off and I am about to also. Game is unplayable atm.
edit: on Teon, no lags normally. Now takes 1 to 2 seconds for target to come up after selecting and 2 to 3 seconds to start to move after clicking. Also, intermittent lags of up to 10, 15 secs are causing panic near death experiences. Its really unpleasant.

Seems to be something with the buff people get, once the timer expires a bunch of ppl around whoever has the buff crashes.
Please post the server you are on if you are having an issue with the event. If you could also describe the lag or other issue that you are experiencing, that would be helpful
luna, well constant delays on chat/buffs/attacks/walking... basicly anything. nd no im not the only one.. basicly my entire clan logged off due to this lag
Please post the server you are on if you are having an issue with the event. If you could also describe the lag or other issue that you are experiencing, that would be helpful
On Teon I have 3-4 seconds lag from the moment I press a key till the character responds (pve only). Other times it's even longer.
Heroes shout about lag everywhere, so I guess I'm not alone.
I don't know if it's the event but the game is unplayable right now and so I'm logging off till things settle a bit.

Alright folks, we are investigating and will work to resolve the issues of lag that the EU servers are experiencing. Phoenix players, this appears to be a different issue that you may be seeing, we are still investigating the cause at this time.

ty , you can close the thread that i made , we got the answer now we're waiting to see what's gonna happen
Yeah now we have the people who think they are funny by intentionally using Seeds in the middle of Giran and Aden, and causing people all around them to crit out.
The crit occurs when a large number of people both receive the buff, and the buff wears off.

if you still dont know : lineage 2 is on **** old engine and you try to put something new on something that is older than internet and you try to fool us that its not event fault for lag + mass crits ?( C++ crit blabla ) really do me a favour and ugrade game engine and add multi core to it xD another 2 weeks of lag ...

so shut down this event
or give us money for lost time in laged server
What happened I got 12 regular seeds and 5 explosive seeds in the first half hour then I crit errored. Logged back in and 3 seeds in almost an hour and a half. That wasnt just luck in the first half hour why drop the drop rate so much.
Lyzira, I have crit errored out of the client 3 times in 10 minutes standing in giran on Aria. I haven't had a crit error in months, I'd hazzard to guess it is related to the event update.
<-Teon
perma 1-2 seconds delay on every actions
mass disconects when someone opens even items
bugs like inability to use others than white chat, some weird blackscreens like if i am porting on the same place
its beeing experienced by whole clan and from pms by whole server
Since logging in today since the update i have been logged on briefly and the game has crashed twice reporting a microsoft visual c++ runtime library runtime error for L2.bin, this has never happened before so i think it is something to do with the update/event
Alright folks, thank you for the extra information. I will update you as soon as I have more information for you.
The matter of lag on the EU servers appears to be a separate (but just as important) issue from the disconnect/crash issue being reported.
let me guess its our isp problem :) every event i fight with your pro support and every time they try to tell me its my isp is at fault xD
well what can i say GET READY FOR THE NEXT ROUND
ps. biggest joke was when i sent all in 1 mail ( they sent you many lol tools to check your isp ) and guess what they didnt even read it and copy paste : DL TOOL XX AND SENT US revision of it .
reply : GO TO SCHOOL AND LEARN TO READ !

well if they dont believe this time they should just login on franz and hear all the cryes on hero shout and normal shout:) i can barely move..
This is ridiculous especially on the end of the month when everyone is doing oly :( Hope its fixed soon.
I run more clients none had crashed, disconnected, however so far no event drop for me nor buff.
I logged in 20 min after restart, there was slight lag, but is ever increasing. We had to abandon toi 10 party because it was getting dangerous (mostly mages+wolves).
Since then was buying some stuff for newbies in giran sicne some guys just joined, and had always increasing lag + spikes like 10 seconds so much so that i thought I got DC.
I have lag in replying ppl in ally chat, not only moving/performing spells etc.
Franz server.
Thank you for your time.
M
P.S. Please ppl, dont break the only decent interface we have with "the team" of bug creators.
This even has been well thought, we wanted more vita/exp and we got it, they got it wrong, ok, I agree master yogi even was also laggy, but this time is really over the top, they must do something. They will, have patience.
I am sure Lyzira will advocate even better rewards and elongated event, just to pay up for the blunders.
Please be calm and lets all try to help by bringing acurate reports from the field.

The file check was for the crash issue. We are still working to resolve the lag issue that is being experienced on Luna, Franz, and Teon.
Now, I think you are on a wrong path here. The lags on EU servers are not higher because of networking issues in my opinion, but because of the higher population there, Teon and Franz being most populated as we know.
When i first logged in and read about event and moved around after restart i havent noticed extraordinary lag, it was only after some half an hour when it became clear there is bad lag and after an hour had to abandon party.
I think it is solely event related this problem, it is just more acute on more populated servers.
M
hmm only thing i notice is my ping climbing up every time i relogin,
I second that, right now eu servers have all 300+ pings even tho I am in europe and usually are 30-40 while american servers show only 10% or so increased pings. 130-300 depending probably on the load, while normaly are 130 or so average.
It is obvious in my opinion that there is a problem with this event, please investigate all possible causes, not only networking issues.

after 2 times checking files i have again crash error, so u still didint fix it lol, in aden town on Teon ppl crash all the time
the us servers have normal ping for me, 100-170, always little laggy (tested)
franz teon 250+ and luna 550+ now.
but feels like 1 -2 seconds between clicks...
Aria has def some game crash, I woke up about 1 hour ago and did the file check.
Giran is empty and other towns seem to have the same effect, Goddard and Aden for sure.
Def related to event when people summon the spirit/get the special buff. Doing another File check as I post this.
Please post the server you are on if you are having an issue with the event. If you could also describe the lag or other issue that you are experiencing, that would be helpful
Gustin, my friend in party dc'd today, was something to do with the L2.bin file. (I get those a lot).
Yesterday I had that 10 second stop lag like an almost dc thing a lot. Made aoe pretty fun since I was the healer :(
It was all ok before the patch for me. After the patch there is this insane lag. But I got no crashes. Btw how do you measure your ping to the servers?
Had no disconnects on Franz. I do run more than one window on overheated laptop, once a week there is some kind of crash normally, but none today.
I had only 1 (one) seedin 200 mobs or so, true, was explosive.
My party mate dc twice.
Lag varies, probably related to the number of ppl on. There was a bit better, like under one second, then towards this moment increased again to 1.5-2 sec with huge spikes when you think you are DC, like 5 sec a piece.
Going to bed with the hope tomorrow we will see either something done or event undone.
I really like the event, but want to be able to play the game also. I killed like 200 mobs in 2 hours, should have been double.
Did the file check, did not look at screen all the time but did on 2 computers with various speeds, had the same impression no file was replaced.
Good luck to devs, seems they need it.
M
I'm on Devianne and a recent popping of a fire elemental caused about 15 people to get the eva buff.... sometime after that buff faded I d/c'd with that runtime error mentioned previously in this thread.
The crash appear to be fixed for me, but the lag...
Its just impossible to play, please fix it and block trial accounts to be created for the **** event days!
I dont think trial accounts are to be blamed. If they were, servers were heavy, but none was even normal since event started. Ppl just give up and wait to be fixed.
M
For those of you on Luna, Teon, or Franz who are experiencing lag (Not the crash, just the steady lag issue on these three servers) please visit this thread: http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=204644
We need to collect some quick information from those of you experiencing this issue.
I have done a few full checks, but the updater isn't downloading any files, so not sure what you fixed. I am still crashing out in shop mode in giran everytime someone does the event mob that gives the AOE buff that makes your fists glowy.

=/ I just tried to run a full check and the updater to the server times out on me. and now i have cruppted files and cant log in. what in the world is going on...
I personaly don't have any problems but I did log in a lvl 1 on Franz to see what the fuss was about and saw this
Giran was pretty populated, lots and lots of shops, I was walking around then this light elf starts popping seeds and all of a sudden there's 10 shops left in town and 5 people walking. Don't know if it was an NCsoft test or whatever but it was weird.
Im on Sayha, just got home, found my shops crashed with the aforementioned c++ error. Logged into giran, everything was fine until someone casted the event mob, got the buff, and I crashed again. Hoping they come up with a fix, until then playing some other game. Oh and I did the check files thing. btw I haven't crashed ever before for at least a chronicle.
For the love of GOD... Please TEST this kind of stuff 2, 3, 4, 5 times if necessary BEFORE throwing it live... I'm one of those that are experiencing the crash issue (even after checking files). What the hell you guys have in mind? I don't play for free, I pay to play this game, ****it.
Will I have a 1-day (or whatever many days needed to fix this issue) free in my account? Because I came from my work, tired as hell, hoping to play this **** game and I can't. Thank you very much NC :mad:.
Played Teon for the last 4 hours and was laggy to various degrees throughout.
Lag caused delay in targetting, reaching mob and collecting drops. (All in Sea of Spores)
Basic lag was playable as I made over a level. There were three massive lag spikes of over 5 seconds.
Shouting in town was suffering around 9pm GMT but had improved markedly by Midnight.
The main problem was the disconnect through the Visual C++ error. I suffered this three times on Teon and once on Phoenix.
I noticed after the last one around Midnight, Giran lost 60% of its afk shops so they must have got the crit error too.
Someone shouted that it happens if you summon an event mob in town. (Maybe rubbish).
As for the L2.bin error mentioned elswhere, I had it once tonight but I feel its unrelated to the event as I get the same error nearly every time I close the game down.
The event is nice but there's some open ended coding somewhere causing severe issues. Shame :(
For the record, I'm connecting via BT in southern England.

I'm sure they did test it, but you never TRULY know how something is going to react until you put it into production. You can't have a test lab that is 100% identical in every way to the production environment.
In US it costs about $16/month to play which would be about $0.53 per day. You might be able to get a can of beans for that much. You said you worked all day so you shouldn't be worrying about $0.53. If you are, then you need to play less and get a 2nd job IMO.
We have complained over and over again about the lack of originality of events and now NCSOFT is finally listening to our requests and providing us with new events. Most of the time when something new is launched there are a few bugs that have to be worked through. I for one appreciate NCSOFT launching a new event with some rewards that we have requested (like the vitality drops that everyone loved).
Another thing I like is an active community manager that is responding to us. I remember for years when something would go wrong they wouldn't admit that anything was wrong and it was several hours between responses from them. Lyzira is actually trying to communicate with us and help resolve the issue and letting us know everything that she can at the moment.
xZolterR - Quit being emo cuz you can't play one game for one day. Server uptime has been outstanding. NCSOFT is improving and you can't deny that. There are other things to do besides L2 believe it or not.
This appears to be limited to specific servers. Are Franz players experiencing a lag issue as well?
LOL.... a majority of player have been talking about out of control lag on and off for well over 2 months.
since they obviously dont understand spoken word i suggest speaking to your team w/ grunts and random words mixed in ie. "uhh rrrraaahhhhh gahh Lag... rarrrrrr everyone angry ahahhahhhhh... peoplesszsszsszszz quiting
hmm giran is being cleared of the afk traders on regular basis right now, just because they can ... it will be really hard to sell anything these 2 weeks, it seems...
oh and it seems like the disconnect happens after the explosive spirit is defeated and people pick up drops .. maybe just a coincidence though.
Lyzira, are you sure whatever small file change they made got updated on the update server? I have gotten no new files with a check files even after you mentioned something was updated.

This update would only affect a select group of players, and unfortunately this update did not resolve the crash issue.
We are continuing to work on the matter and hope to have a fix in place very soon.

It's people like you that makes L2 worse every day. Conformed people.
If you are rich and dont care about $16, good for you. Not everyone are rich. People work hard to get what they want, and they pay for that. And I dont think you or someone else should tell anyone what they have to do with their money or with their spare time. Now g.t.f.o plz.
just logged out of game for the night, sick of gettin crit error ontop of crit error. giran had maybe 5 shops on Devianne, and a small handfull of people walking around.
lag wasnt bad, but the d/c...errors are horrid. its not just from the explosive fires, its from the regular ones as well.
once again coulda been a good event, but with the bugs and the lack of people to fill the bar its yet again another failed event :(

you know, at first i thought it was cool, all the automated palyers gone, no shops in giran.... then, i was sitting their.....polearm in hand....then BOOM 10 mobs on me with 750 health left.
I deleveled....sucked
but i sucked it up , got my level back then BOOM!
3 more dc's and here i am looking at the forums to find out wtf is going on.

Off Topic - but if $16.00 USD is a make or break for you.. then you should not be playing online games.
There is someone named Castyel in Giran Chain Summoning event MOBs. everytime the MOB gets killed, dozens of people crit error out. This happens repeatedly. You cannot go to that town, and he's doing it despite many people asking him to stop doing it. He's running from one side of the quare to the other spawning those MOBs.
Event is trash. The rewards aren't that great, and neither are the "serverwide"mechanics of it when you consider most people attempt to capitalize off event items, and the game's population here leaves much to be desired.
Everytime you people have an event, the quality of the service (i.e. gameplay, and the quality thereof) becomes utter crap. Haven't we gone through this at least twice, already? Read your forums.
I have only recently started actually logging in during events (used to just deactivate until they were over, especially if they went past the end of my "current month"). Should I just lower my expectations?
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
It's called an exception, and that error message does not give anyone enough information to know what the issue is.
The problem is in the code. That dialog just tells you that code in l2.bin (i.e. l2.exe) threw and exception. Unhandled Exceptions cause applications to terminate. That's why it says "This application has requested the runtime..."
so my clan went to do frintezza today. boss at 1 % hp about to kill it. Raid Force Crit errors with 5 ppl left inside...... Thanks for ruining our chance to get frintezza for a stupid event u didnt even test.

LOL - "stuck" it botters!!!!!
On topic - yea the event has caused issues and with luck NC will take the "higher road" with this event.
Some ppl on bartz i bet on other servers too,summoning event mobs from seeds near players shop..
and 10-20 sec later shop is disconnected:)
hehe ..
can u do some test on pts before u lunch events?
almost all events on start are bugged ..or no npc/or no top rewards/or like now disconects/lags.
Disconnects happen also without the mob buff issue.
I left the chars in fort overnight and half DC at same time (reading dialog in ally all stop same line).
Nobody did mob there, so must have been because some lag spike.
+1 in clearing event and restarting it when it is fixed.
Regarding the slightly off-topic issue about the 16 dollars which are make or break for someone or not, it does not mater what ppl should or should not do in your opinion if they are poor, it is not you to decide nor give advice unasked. Fact is ppl pay to play and we get a poor normal experience with so many bots level 85 ruining the game and from time to time much worse, like now.
All respect for Lyzira, but in general NCSoft does not care about us and our game right now.

Dear NCSoft:
Instead of making events the make the whole server crash/dc/lag why dont you just spend the next month fixing these problems people seem to have.
Thank you,
L2 Community
Server Aria
Setting up a shop, with every detail set to 0, no sounds, etc...
the game crashes with the l2.bin message as the toon gets the eva wrath buff.
or better
if you still dont know : lineage 2 is on **** old engine and you try to put something new on something that is older than internet and you try to fool us that its not event fault for lag + mass crits ?( C++ crit blabla ) really do me a favour and ugrade game engine and add multi core to it xD another 2 weeks of lag ...
Been poling for a couple of hours yesterday, no problems with lag on Aria server, although had a terrible droprate, 4-5 seeds and 2 explosive seeds in about 3hours ><
Now today, I try to run through 1 (ONE) room of cata and get 4 mobs on me, once I get in the hall, I get a lag spike and by the time I see my hp bar move, it's only 1/4 left, death for sure...
Fix this, or stop adding events u can't run properly...
Never thought I was going to sign up for forums to start nagging bout lag issues, got used to them by now, but this is simply terrible...
lagging like hell on Franz plus vc++ errors.
Here's a suggestion ... STOP making events ... this is not the first time it happened, even a monkey would realise than things like this need to be tested before putting live.
Don't show up here with a candid face asking if people on Franz experience this as well. It's not server related, it's your stupid event.
Now offering free advice on the proper usage of try/catch/finally.
:p
That is no solution , i advice proper coding for once. a try catch simply moves over the error, but the error is still there. This obviously hasn't been tested ... they must sit at their desk thinking ... wowxz0r my c0de bl0ws dud3. n0 n33d to t3st the cwap ... i rulz ....
Have players on any servers besides Phoenix, Luna, Teon, or Franz had an issue?
Bartz. We are getting all of the problems the posters stated. Go check Giran, there aren't many stores set up because everyone keeps getting critical errors on their L2 clients. I didn't bother to set up my stores overnight because I got tired by the time I got the 5th C++ runtime eror
Lyzira, you have a Public Test Server. Why don't you test events one or two weeks in advance? Just uploading stuff you get sent from Korea obviously does not work.
Off Topic - but if $16.00 USD is a make or break for you.. then you should not be playing online games.
No, $16 dont break me. The thing is its not for free, people work to pay for it like any other stuff in their life (except kids that have everything in their life w/o any effort, stupid kids with rich parents), so yeah, I think I have the right to complain if something I pay for is not working how it should be.
On luna there are almoust no traders left. Crashing every few min.
Fix it or just turn off this event and remake it in few weeks when it is in proper condition to go on live server
That is no solution , i advice proper coding for once. a try catch simply moves over the error, but the error is still there. This obviously hasn't been tested ... they must sit at their desk thinking ... wowxz0r my c0de bl0ws dud3. n0 n33d to t3st the cwap ... i rulz ....
well i have question: if all ppl including ncsoft team knows summoning event mobs into town making crashes and ppl d/c all time....ppl who still summoning mobs can be banned for it:)?
its like using exploits to stop other ppl from playing...
if yes maybe its time to shout some message from GM's in game about it..
i logged to game 10min and i d/c again because some Y%$*%* messing with mobs ..
Just wait for people to start summoning the event mob on siege grounds. :p
Then all hell will break loose. My guess is that this event is going to destroy alot of normal play and afk shops for us players. I noticed that both my shops had the runtime error.
I also experianced yesterday during raid that my game just locked up during the raid. Tried multiple times to log in again, but it did not help. After i did a file check all the raiding was done for that day, so i could not test if the problem was fixed after file check.
yea lol..
on some servers Teritory wars and siege are in saturday/sunday..
hope they fix problem or..can be hardcore....tons of ppl summoning event mobs to disconect their enemies in siege :P

Actually, although you may be one of the least intelligent posters I've ever seen on these forums, this comment of yours was very funny.
+1 to you for finally saying something that almost made sense and at least caused a chuckle!
PS. the "STOP making events" part was the mistake--except for that part you pretty much had me on your side for a change. In this game, the events are rather important. A bit of thinking about the game and its overall design should lead you to understand 'why' the events are necessary.
Events are necessary for lowbies, for me they are indifferent. I don't much care for buff juices/vanity items or boosted exp for 1 hour seriously. I 'd rather play my normal game instead of this crit error incoming cause some idiot in Giran spawned an event mob, or even worse ... go hide this mob will drop an exploding event item which will criterror and wipeout a full party.

Youre quite funny dude, about the same as my dog, she cracks me up sometimes. You however have long way till you manage to post something funny or at the very least with a trace of intelligence.
Stop making a fool of yourself and go do something else ... suggest Solitaire, Wow , etc.
That's where your lvl is ...
The latency seems to be a lot better for me in Luna. Down to 160ms as compared to 300ms+ 12+ hours ago. Just got the crash in Giran again, but I was online in Giran for 30 mins and received that buff and lost it at least 2 times. Not sure what triggered this last crash because I wasnt paying attention at that time. Hunting outside of town seems to be going flawlessly.
However, for one buff round I haven't gotten any event items. Is it because I'm seeding, the drop rate sucks, or NCSOFT took them out of the game temporarily?
Till now i don`t suffered any crashes and the lag caused by the event only affected me in the 1st day.
But this event has some flaws:
A drop rate (to me) of event items of about 0,75 to 1%, and the fighter classes keep getting mystic buff potions and mystic classes keep getting fighter buff potions.
Please make some more reasonable quest item drops, like about 5%.
Make possible the use of freight to exchange between our toons.
ppl are not supposed to opening them in town.
When u do, all ppl around the mob get the glowing hands. Because this was coded as the ppl around are SUPPOSED TO BE FIGHTING THE MOB AT THE TIME they never thought that the glowing hands would go on ppl who are sitting in store. This is causing the crit error. If you dont want the crit error, u must open the event shards either a: out in the no peaceful zones, or b: away from all players in a peaceful zone. Hop this helps.
ps. this event is NOT FOR THE BOATERS..... they cant script to open event shards in their inventory.. if they did, all party members would glowhandz, and all surrounding mobs would kill em lol

Glowing hands doesnt make you die to mobs. You die to mobs if you take your weapon off

Most people know this but there is the .1% who open it around shops just to be a jerk, just like the rest of the population.
Phoenix, crit errors and lags, however crit errors are only when someone pops one of the event seeds in a populated area. You should have seen Giran, or any town for that matter, all the player shops had been crit error'd, its creepy, and I need more b crystals, fix plx.
I did a file check.. Logged in set up shop.. Someone summoned the fire seed and i was barely out of range of the buff and as the buff ran out i saw everyone around me Crit error then I crit error'd w/o having the buff
Please fix the Crit error problem.. I can't even merchant today
For the first hour of hunting my only complaint was that I only managed to get 1 seed. No lag or annoying disconnects. 1 seed. For an event like this where the rewards are so diverse, the drop rate must improve SUBSTANTIALLY. It's supposed to be an XP event veiled in "Vitality" rewards, but we'll never kill nearly enough event mobs with only 1 seed dropping every 2 or 3 buff rounds. As it is it takes you some time just to kill the event mobs, so you might as well open both cargo bays on the seed drops.
For the second hour...wow, where to begin? I disconnected in exactly the same spot, exactly the same pose, trying to kill exactly the same mob twice. Lag was very noticeable in the Oren territory. I eventually left the area and went back to Heine, where the lag wasn't as marked. After seeding in Heine, I switched to my SH and hunted some in FotD. No lag. More seed drops, but still not as frequent as I'd hoped.
After I was done hunting for the day, I tried to set up shop. More disconnects there. I eventually gave up and logged out for the night. Who knew this would be camouflaged as a Green event? Sure to save on electricity for the duration of the event.
So, i'm on Teon. I will not give new informations, i've lag, crash, even with a check files.
I wonder why you don't turn off event, just time to make it work on your pts.
Last event you've done => lags
New event => lags and crash.
Each event... => lags or troubles.
I really love L2, but i'm fed up. Each time i read news about an event my first think isn't "oh, seems great!" but "can we play L2 with this event or do i have to turn off my computer until the end of the event".
And what's wrong with your support's team? Tell them server has troubles, they always answer: "no, you have problem, we don't see any problem on the server". WTF? Do they log on sometime? Do they read our mails/petitions?
Lyzira, don't take it bad, I know it's not you so and my words are not for you, but please, do something. Can't you whipe them and make them work! For once...
And just a question about the event and rate:
-I xp 1hour my TH => (2 deaths cause of lags) no item
-I farm later KE in my forteress => +/-30 items on guards
Do they have finished their works with this event? :x
I'm sure they did test it, but you never TRULY know how something is going to react until you put it into production. You can't have a test lab that is 100% identical in every way to the production environment.
In US it costs about $16/month to play which would be about $0.53 per day. You might be able to get a can of beans for that much. You said you worked all day so you shouldn't be worrying about $0.53. If you are, then you need to play less and get a 2nd job IMO.
We have complained over and over again about the lack of originality of events and now NCSOFT is finally listening to our requests and providing us with new events. Most of the time when something new is launched there are a few bugs that have to be worked through. I for one appreciate NCSOFT launching a new event with some rewards that we have requested (like the vitality drops that everyone loved).
Another thing I like is an active community manager that is responding to us. I remember for years when something would go wrong they wouldn't admit that anything was wrong and it was several hours between responses from them. Lyzira is actually trying to communicate with us and help resolve the issue and letting us know everything that she can at the moment.
xZolterR - Quit being emo cuz you can't play one game for one day. Server uptime has been outstanding. NCSOFT is improving and you can't deny that. There are other things to do besides L2 believe it or not.
now I dont mean to sound harsh but either, get rid of event, make so ppl cant summon the monsters in town or just shoot/ban the ppl that do, every time someone summons one in town everyone near them gets glowy hands, which admittedly looks cool for the several seconds before mass D/C due to this C++ error....
looking forward to the next Siege/TW.. everyone having glowing hands then mass D/C.. yup that will be awsome! ..... not.
****, NCSoft, you are supposed to be a "serious" company and still after 24(+) hours havent done anything to correct the Lag AND Crash issue your customers experience, on ALL servers...
Thus, Lyzira only said they know this issue (**** they even know about the red SA's issue and still to fix it...) and post a random test for the players to do and send them the information for the 3 Euro Servers...And what about the other servers?I play on Aria and there is lag aswell not only on Euros.
They can't even estimate when its gonna be fixed.They dont even postpone the **** event till they can introduce it properly after!
Seriously NC atm i'd like to believe 99% of your customers who play L2 are dissapointed and frustrated.
Then again most of us know the credibility u give,us customers, and we continue to pay u like sheeps...kinda funny...
For those of you on Luna, Teon, or Franz who are experiencing lag (Not the crash, just the steady lag issue on these three servers) please visit this thread: http://boards.lineage2.com/showthread.php?t=204644
We need to collect some quick information from those of you experiencing this issue.
Lyz many of ppl dont log on Official Forums, i can say last night we got full pty with 5sec of lag every 5 secs, and ppl from Belgium, Portugal, London, Denmark, Poland, US- Washington DC and California were geting exacly the same lag problems.
At this time I don't have a lot of new information to share but understand that we have people working around the clock to take care of the crash issue. We are currently working on a fix and I hope to have news very soon on when this fix will go live.
My experiences on this crash issue after 'check files':
Server: Devianne
- Having a craft shop or sell shop up in Giran, against the warehouse: C++ crash within a few minutes.
- Just sitting or standing at the same spot does not reproduce the error.
- Craft shop at racetrack: no error.
I'm not having lag issues, at least not worse than normal.
Ping @ login: 122 which is normal
At this time I don't have a lot of new information to share but understand that we have people working around the clock to take care of the crash issue. We are currently working on a fix and I hope to have news very soon on when this fix will go live.
well its not only problem of crash issue ,biggest problem is i think lag spikes that ppl having and cant play the game
I just had a toi party a few hours ago and was really normal, no more lag than usual, everything went ok, nobody died.
Drop rate sucks, but I intend to farm fort... I will be back after that...
M
lag was better earlier on (presumably cause there were fewer people online) but got insane again now it's euro peak time.
By the way it's not so much lag ... it's more like you freeze for x seconds then usually disconnect
The way you described this particular lag almost seems like the crash issue instead of lag. Are you around people who are summoning spirits when you disconnect?
hmm, i try tpo connect me since yesterday after the update , each time after any seconds
, i'm disconnect , WHY DON T YOU STOP THE EVENT UNTIL THIS EVENT IS FIXED ?????!!!!!
and you need 24 hours for fix that shoit???lol, when i was gm , the bug was gixed in any hours, alone , here , you have t a team!!, you really take the costumers for retar**d :(
and for the days we loose , we will have a freed ays i hope, seriously , we already the most por custiomer servicevever rzealized for a mmorpg, i hope at least we will have a dedomagments of any kind, ty ....
that' really because l2 is fior me the best mmorpg i stay , but , you really have to improve much thing , you don't have a test server for try you event beforeze launch thjat on live server ?????
before , when i was created event , we was trying that at on our test server , that's hwo that work;its the logical ...........
ah , and another thing too , it seems walker and goodboy work fine , lol , gratz nc again, the legit can't play , along the bot work ,you can explain me here??????? i 've never see that .....
why have you need 24 hours for fix a bug?????????????????????? just one ppl can fix that in any hours, seriously .......
AND WHY DON'T YOU DESACTIVATE THE EVENT UNTIL HE'S FIX ON YOUR5 TEST SERVER,IF you have one ......
i don't understand why you obstinate to lets the event working , and no one can play ....you're better to desactivate event , it will take you lets say 1 -2 hours of maintenance,lets ours play plz... why please lyzira?
The way you described this particular lag almost seems like the crash issue instead of lag. Are you around people who are summoning spirits when you disconnect?
not really, happened to my party (9 people) while out hunting mobs in Hellbound .. twice, nobody was summoning spirits around us. Then it happened again to a bunch of us while killing a raid, this time not the whole party, 6 out of the 10 people present.
And just for the record, we re spread out around the globe not sitting next to each other so I doubt it's a network problem
For those of you who are playing on Luna, Franz, Teon, has the lag improved or changed today since yesterday when the event first went live?
I play on Phoenix.
Having analized my traceroute data (taken on different dates since June) I have come to conclusion there is a routing issue between llnw.net (LimeLight Networks) and some other networks, which causes the lag problems on Phoenix and Devianne. (As far as I know, llnw.net is the last part of the route to Phoenix/Devianne.)
Normally, my packets are routed from my ISP to their final destination via Telia networks, like this:
During the next 5 days, I did not get any lag-related issues.
Yesterday, however, was one of the worst days in the terms of lag. Connection tests showed that the routing changed back to Telia. I'd like to emphasize that there was no packet loss at any node that belonged to Telia, but the final part of the route (llnw.net) could not be traced at all (same as on the 1st diagram). I got disconnected 3 times within 1 hour, and it was BEFORE the maintenance (after which the event started).
Today it was as laggy as before (tracerouted it at 11AM GMT), but then the lag was gone. When I did another traceroute, it showed that my routing changed again, having been switched from Telia to retn.net:
So, I wonder if these route changes have been caused by someone's attempts to fix the routing issue from NCsoft's side, or it was just a coincidence...
Regarding the "event crashes", I'd say it's a different issue. I did a full file check today, logged in game, went to Giran, watched someone summon an event mob which gave the buff to the nearby player shops, and on the next second my game froze completely (had to press Reset to reboot the PC). Next time, I got a crit errror while standing in warehouse with no event mobs nearby (so I guess that summoning them in the vicinity can cause AoE crashes).
PLEASE TURN OFF THIS EVENT! It is the realy Eva's Inferno event! Changed the game to hell, ppls get lots of disconnect at lots of times. The market is total death on the servers, because the ppls cant make shop in towns.
I think the best idea if u turn off the event and give 2-3 free play time day for everyusers, because now we realy cant play.
I dont know what happned with L2 in EU/NA region but from the Gracia Final very much the problem with the game.
Anyway i would like to if you find out anything how to spend up the servers with new players, in another region these works are succesful there are much players on servers and how i know they havent problems with running of the game.
no lags for me, but got crit error 5 times while hunting silenos (in about 2 hours) and had 3 crits in giran with my dorf (in about 10 minutes), so i logged off.
kinda funny when u log back and just see 1 craftshop and 3-5 sellers in whole giran^^
I have looked through quite a few pages on this thread (there are too many to read them all), and I only saw one post saying that we are having problems on Aria also, so I thought I should post to let you know there are massive problems on Aria too.
I am not the only person who has had problems, and from what people were saying, many of them were having a lot more problems than I have had. A lot of people said they wanted to set up shops and they were getting disconnected about every 10 minutes or so. Also the lag has been very bad.
Both last night & today there has been almost no one on because they got tired of being disconnected so they just gave up even trying to play.

Yeah ppl didnt mentioned Aria, we got problems here aswell...
Stop the event , seriously. the game is unplayable, can't even have shops up for more than 1 min before the client crashes. Seriously, stop wasting our time and stop this stupid event. I'd rather play the game normally , without crashes.
That is no solution , i advice proper coding for once. a try catch simply moves over the error, but the error is still there. This obviously hasn't been tested ... they must sit at their desk thinking ... wowxz0r my c0de bl0ws dud3. n0 n33d to t3st the cwap ... i rulz ....
No, what are you talking about. Try/Catch/Finally are Exception Handling blocks. They don't move errors, they handle exceptions.
If the client tries to write to a file when you're logged in as a non-Admin, the game doesn't shut down because that Exception (Insufficient Permissions to Write to Files in C:\Program Files\*) is properly handled.
Obviously, whatever is going on in the client these days, isn't.
You cannot move errors in software. You can ignore them (likely to result in ungraceful application shutdowns, lockups, mem leaks, buffer overruns, etc.), handle them (catch), or gracefully exit due to them (finally).
try = try this, and see if it throws an exeption
catch = do this, when the specified exceptions happen
finally = do this, when all else fails - usually a graceful application exit, and that's why the application always "requests" the runtime to terminate the application. The Application usually exits because no developer wants an end-user to continue running an application that is in an unpredictable state...
Properly Handled Exceptions are evident by the "normal" crit error dialog boxes you get when the client shuts down on you. They will give useful information like "breadcrumb" procedure/object method call chronologies, etc. Sometimes you'll get a stack trace. The developers can use a debugger to see all of this, though. You can force Exceptions by using throw.
maybe block item use into peace zone could help
That makes way too much sense.
They will never do this :P
I've been PMing people between crashes and asking them not to spawn them in town. I get responses like:
"I only have 10 more."
"I'm just doing the event. Why can't I do it in town?"
"It's a bug?" (While 20 people are raging in shout, asking them to stop spawning them...)

I really didn't want to get into this, however , what I meant is , there are better ways of handling errors than this. Try catch can work if any number of errors can happen and you can't treat them all. However , in most cases the errors are predictable and avoidable.
Try catch will move over the error yes, but the error still exists and the application is still in a state it shouldn't be.
It's obvious that they didn't use any try catches or any other check, they just assumed it will work. This is what I meant.
thanks god i am from the lucky people that have no lag...
But the Critical Errors...it's annoying.
It happens all the time that i am in town.I was in derby last night and nothing happened all night.
I don't know if this is correct or no,but at towns only where there are the new event thingies you crash.Outside town,when someone is not summoning one of the event mobs nothing happens.
Why instead of trying to fix the event you don't just remove it so we are better again?
Add something else,or don't add something.
From having an event like this that causes so many criticals i prefer not having anything and my life to be normal again.
hmm, i try tpo connect me since yesterday after the update , each time after any seconds

thanks for answer(at the limit i prefer no answer than your usuall auto responsewhen we petition in game ....:( ) ....
you really don't care of your customer,that's your first problem today, i will try to ask again one more time :
why you don't desactivate this bugged event until he's fix??????????
since yesterday,no one can play correctly ,(apart if you have the bots software...wtf??????)
i really dont understand why you persist to let's running an event ,while no one can play, what' the interest?????!!!!!!!turn off directly all the server .....explain me , seriously .....
atm, the only luck you've got is to having the best mmorpg on the market (yes, i insist^^, i've play at aion, i definitively don't like wow style game )
,but if you continue to acting like that with your customer you will really loose much ppl.
don't forget Terra will coming soon , and he's a really challenger for lineage 2 ,he have better graphics, probably a better customer service , obligatory better than your customer service ^^)
(sorry for your stolen source code , now we know where he's ^^)
now , the fact are like that , you have the better mmorpg of the moment ,
just change your customer relation please, and perhaps any employees of your office , becasuemore than one day for fix a little bug like that , excuse me , but your emplyees are really not capable .
,a bug like that on a big or private server is exactly the same , you know why that bug , why it isn't fix again?????????? , you're really long ...this bug isn't hard to fix seriously .

It's obvious that they didn't use any try catches or any other check, they just assumed it will work. This is what I meant.
They could have easily used a try/catch block, but since there was an exception thrown that wasn't handled by a catch block, the exception handler goes to finally and shuts the application down.
Unhandled exceptions usually go to finally, unless they are less obscure errors that cause the application to crash.
I have a hard time believing NCSoft developers fail to put things like large memory allocations, disk access, etc. in an exception handler O.O
I don't think they assumed it will work.
I do think their poor testing continues to bite them in the behind.
It takes all of 5 minutes to populate a town and summon one of these, and they have a history of introducing events that lag the server, or make the client incredibly unstable. Since June, every event has made the game borderline [or completely] unplayable for many people.
You're supposed to test before release, not after, and this is the reason why many other games have test servers that they keep up all the time. The release these types of events on the test server FIRST, and have the bugs out of them before they go live.
So they locked the thread that was posted in the Technical issues subforum and directed ppl to one in General discussion?
Maybe I should go make a PP cry thread in the Dwarf forum and we can move all the other PP cry threads there too?
Do you work in the Software Industry?
Sometimes it seems like you're just trying to be controversial for the sake of being controversial.
What she does makes sense.
The vast majority of posters here don't even see the technical forum, cause it's so far down in the list of forums. If they want people to go there, they should move it up into this forum group.
Until then, this is the best place to put these threads. Anyone who reads these forums will see it, and they will get a better idea of how widespread the problems are (and what the problems actually are) since the sample is much larger.
Lyzira is it possible to make an automatic annoucement for the event which stated to not open fire spirits in towns. In 2 hours time i crashed with my dwarf for 16 times when in shop mode. Its not funny anymore. In the meantime you can make a hotfix for the crashing thing.
Please make a annoucement for it. Alot of people make people crash on purpose or other people dont even know about this bug.
Offtopic: I am trying some things out by myself to prevend less crashing. I putted all NPC/PC Limit to verry close and low graphics. Hope this works a bit.
Please make a annoucement for it. Alot of people make people crash on purpose or other people dont even know about this bug.
There are places to kill the event mobs without being in town, but most will likely opt for a peace zone of some kind. However, based on what I've been reading, people are crashing both in and out of town, whether a fire beast has been summoned or not. And the lag issue pre-dates the event. Maybe "announcement" is the wrong word. "Disclaimer" is probably the word that applies here. :p
The crash issue is affecting all servers, yes. There have been some lag issues reported as well, but only from specific servers.
My mistake then i should have explained better...the ping is fine for me on all servers, but on aria i can walk in town and in any place normally without lag, but when i hit Mobs or RB then the lag starts for me, and as u said the errors are common on all servers.
Didnt have this issue before the last maintenance when the event introduced(about lag thing).
So now guess u know that some ppl lag on Aria aswell :rolleyes:
Open yer ears and eyes NC, you have people posting here, placing support tickets and phoning you.
-We have seen people admitting that most of their clannies wont log into game
-We have seen people refering to the fact of griefing other players by causing them to crash which in all essences is denial of play
-We have seen people admit they shut their accounts off during events
While I'll admit seeing a new event is nice, instead of just recycled old events, at least the OLD events did not cause these lag and crash issues.
I think your most successful new event this year was actually your april fools event, not to mention one of hte most popular cause of the bonuses to vitality.
In all seriousness of the word customer support is what people want here... I told the guy on the phone I'll repeat it here if you dont know what the issue is enough to resolve it... disabble spawning of the mobs OR turn off the event until the issue has been 100% resolved... on ALL servers

This is the first I've heard of this particular behavior on Aria, it does not appear that this is a widespread issue on this particular server. I will keep an eye on further reports of this, but this could be a side effect of the crash issue which we are continuing to work on.
I forgot to mention, early in the event I got a few seeds from mobs, though the drop rate was very low, but later on I was fighting mobs for about 2 hours and didn't get any more seeds at all. Altogether, I was fighting mobs for about 3 1/2 to 4 hours and I only got 6 seeds.
I was also having a lot of lag when fighting mobs.
Properly Handled Exceptions are evident by the "normal" crit error dialog boxes you get when the client shuts down on you. They will give useful information like "breadcrumb" procedure/object method call chronologies, etc. Sometimes you'll get a stack trace. The developers can use a debugger to see all of this, though. You can force Exceptions by using throw.
Let me put it this way, in short form. If you, for example, allocate an array on the application stack (alloca() or whatever) and then overflow it, you have a fat chance to corrupt the stack frames, including the service information used to handle exceptions. Your source code will look nice, but your exception handling won't work at all.
My mistake then i should have explained better...the ping is fine for me on all servers, but on aria i can walk in town and in any place normally without lag, but when i hit Mobs or RB then the lag starts for me, and as u said the errors are common on all servers.
Didnt have this issue before the last maintenance when the event introduced(about lag thing).
So now guess u know that some ppl lag on Aria aswell :rolleyes:
I'm getting something similar on Bartz. I may not have lag but as soon as I start attacking a mob or another player, I start getting lags. I hit the attack button on a target and my character just stays there doing nothing a couple seconds, then my client catches up, lags a couple more times and then finishes the mob. I dont even wanna talk about PVP... If you lag, you die.
For those of you who are playing on Luna, Franz, Teon, has the lag improved or changed today since yesterday when the event first went live?
in Luna , after checking files 2 times and with ping 87 (normal), i have no lag at the time!
no lag was before 6 hours too... but i can say that all towns and villages are empty...most of ppl are offline!
About the crashes... i don't use the seed of fire drops...and i stay in towns just for a while. to prevent meeting with other players, who maybe use a seed of fire!
Did nc soft destroy its server by own?! :confused:
we and you loose time & money right now! still working only on AION? :mad:
Looks like they stopped the event but remaining items can still be used but you wont get new event drops or anything.
hmm i think no its just the drop is that bad
I know a lot of people have been complaining that they would rather not have events because of problems some of then have caused. We NEED to have events more frequently as they have been recently, but we need them to run properly.
The only way I can make a decent amount of adena to buy the equipment I need is from events, and without proper equipment, the game isn't worth playing. I don't bot, and you just can't make very much adena playing the game normally. The only way I can make a decent amount is to buy event items low & sell them higher. I would rather have fun participating in the event than just sitting is shop all day, but if the choice is that or not having decent equipment, I will do it to get the equipment I need.
