Solve the LAG problem!

General Discussion Started Last reply 24 posts
Everything was fine until this Monday when it all started.

With this 10 seconds lag, the gameplay is horrible.

Please do something about it :mad:
eu quero jogar!!!!!! porra!!!!!!!!!!

NCwest = brazilian goverment
after 1 julio is lag :( only in l2 other game no
I think the problem is somewhere in the international connection between NA and Latin America. I suggest to download
http://us.ncsoft.com/gameadvisor

and running it.

Or, even faster just open a command prompt, and paste the following:
pathping.exe -w 500 -q 100 -4 64.25.35.104

This will ping the US L2 Authentication Gateway. Let this run until you see:
"Trace complete."

Scroll up and check if you have big amounts of lost packages between any hop. In my case I got 49% dropped packages in:

6 12ms 2/ 100 = 2% 0/ 100 = 0% TenGigabitEthernet9-3.ar3.SCL1.gblx.net [64.209.88.25]
49/ 100 = 49% |
7 233ms 54/ 100 = 54% 3/ 100 = 3% xe-4-2-1.edge1.LosAngeles9.Level3.net [4.68.63.105]

This is most definitely the cause for the spikes. Now I'm not sure if I should take this to my ISP?
Guys, just to checkout...

1: where are u from?
2: scan pc from virus and other worms
3: turn off **** download from torrents, also if you have wifi check or somebody not steal your trafic :)
4: restart router, modem etc, or if this not helps call to your ISP support and say that you have problem with connection to USA. for me this helped once. when i hade huge lag for few days. for other EU servers was 0 lag. but to naia.. login, delay 30-60sec for everything. then 2 3 steps an dc.
5: play minsweeper ;)

Spain

I have a 100mbps connection. I can play with 3x torrent clients opened and still not lag.

I have the IT knowledge to solve most of the basic problems.

Problems started since hte begining of this month.
well.. as i said before, contact with your ISP support and tell your problems that you have high ping with USA. my friend had also same problem like you. lags started from nowhere, and in the end they found that switch was broken or wtf happens to them, there was huge packet loss even to gateway server. and that was isp problem. so blame nc for your lags its not smartest idea :)
i know situations when many peoples from specific continent have lag issues, then yes, it's problem of ncsoft servers. but when single player have this one, it's your problem.

you dont read or dont understand ppl, we play others games who connect to usa too, and dont have any lag..only with lineage -.- and im from spain and i play alot of games and only lag with this game
I have a pet parrot

Does any of you contacted the support ?

That includes Pando Media Booster!
guys the problem is not with the connections, its character specific which leads me only to think the problem lies with particular servers.

On 1 of my accounts and some of my friends accounts i can play lag free and go anywhere i want in the world with no latency issues whatsoever.

And then on my 2 other accounts during certain times of the day (like just this very second!) it becomes unplayable.

Would anyone like to educate on account specific latency?
The lag problem start 1st june ... before that server was same as always, but till now seems no one has an answer to help us (im from Chile)
Same Problem here :mad: 1 Week now with lags.
I suspect that most lag problems reported here are beeing caused by Pando Media Boster.
In my case Pando was opening 100+ conection ports causing my internet connection to crumble.
Go to command line and write netstat -b
If you see [PMB.exe] with lots of ports open (or pinged) uninstall Pando and in NCSoft launcher > lineage 2 > properties and disable pando.

I did that already. No effect.
The issues aren't with your software, or ISP. It's way farther upstream than that, it's the transit/backbone providers, ie. Global Crossing, which is beyond your control.
I managed to solve the problem. With WTFast. I know its a paid software, but it does exactly what I need it to do.
