So it's no secret that RSCR is suffering from delays in game. There's been numerous discussions about it, but no official word from the big man as to the cause/cure or even if it's being worked on. This is a massive deal and really should be a priority fix over anything else.
It's been going on for quite some time now and needs to be addressed. Is the cause known? Is it due to be fixed? Any ETA? It's making pking horrendous for many people.

I've been trying different tweaks to server almost daily regarding this issue. Takes time to figure out what is actually causing it.

Thanks for replying, it's strange it only started since the Halloween update dropped though. Was flawless before.

It isn't a patch thing, I've actually felt the delay months ago, it just seems out of sync, combat anyways

I'll have to check what I have changed on that patch then..

Might be a 4 fold problem, ofc just my 2cents i dont really know anything lol

I think reverting to preference movement over processes is one part - The numbers and events happening out of sync with animations

I think either halloween update or new dedi is another part (These 2 things happened close to each other so could be either one, but i think halloween update was before) - and i think this part is related to the jittering/stuttering/flickering of character movement sometimes

3rdly there might be a scaleability issue aswell with the coding, as the server seems to be two completely different worlds going from 40 players online to 100+ players in terms of responsiveness, unless it's a hardware issue?

And lastly i just think a lot of people have a tendency to get into bad rhythms movement wise with the ticks, where they get the full 700ms+ duration before refresh on each consecutive click for a while

yeah really messes with us folks from a decade of muscle memory pking. its easily tracked by a keen eye

I really didn't change much in server core for halloween update, the tick rate seems to be constant 600-650ms always but the delay is still there. You can monitor the client update rate if you run the client from command prompt. I think the problem might be clientside instead.

The issue is definitely client sided. XP and things like that are calculated by the server which is why it shows up before a monster/player is even killed.

n0m,

Can you still log in on an old client and test. I know an updater is set up to force us to update to the latest revision, but that's the best way to test.

Honestly i would sooner just have the equipment tab and all updates since haloween removed and let us have old client back, then re add them after proper testing or not at all.

The game isn't enjoyable anymore as a result of this.

agree

Areas with more trees are worse for me. In dungeons my fps doubles. We had a 33 event in an area surrounded by trees had to zoom all the way in and turn on fog of war to even get above 10fps

Android player.

Players don't seem to bother me.

Seems like npc's have a slight effect as well. When I walk in a bank I am hit with a lag. If no trees or npc and only other players around it works great

Yes, i'm also having delays since the halloween update, playing from the UK.

Used to be able to 1 square and move smoothly, feels like both host & code has been changed.  Its almost like playing over at that other server regarding the smoothness now.
