Poor Server Performance

[grunion]

It seems that 2 out of every 3 clicks are timing out these days regardless of how high the network performance on my end.It has been going steadily downhill and some days seem unplayable. Please address this issue.

I have also noticed this, its very frustrating and impacting on the enjoyment of the game.

Yup been happening to me a lot lately as well. They're obviously cost-cutting to shit out of the servers. Wouldn't surprise me if it was on a server in BigWHAMs bedroom by 2016.

i just don't have these problems... but there are so many reports of it, there isn't any way to deny it is happening... i used to believe it was the time of day players were taking turns... however, we all know there isn't an overwhelming crush of players on here at any one time... sigh...-Jésus noir

There was a major upgrade of the servers about 16 or 18 months ago and there's been no change since then.

Yes, there's some kind of new problem, and there has been a lot of lag lately, but nobody seems to know why. There's been no recent change that would explain it. BW has been struggling with it, doesn't seem to have an explanation. There's also the fact that autotourneys, which used to be very reliable, have recently started stalling out, so maybe that's related, although the tourney stalls and the lag didn't start at the same time, so maybe they're completely unrelated. A lot of unknowns, so far.

So it's just a problem with optimisation? Rather than just cost cutting?

As much as I like to bitch about the current way ownership is running things.

I can honestly say I have had this problem very rarely, and I am on CC for about 12 hours a day. Maybe there are different servers for different parts of the world.

I also very rarely experience issues on site, Tho I have noticed a little lag the last two weeks on and off or so, it's gone away and I'm back to normal it seems (so far).

[grunion]

My intent is not to bitch and moan about the way this site is managed. I like this site very much and have been a long time subscriber - soon starting my ninth year here. I am just raising a performance issue in the hopes that it can be addressed.

don't let it get in your way... 20 million men have dealt with the same issue you have... don't be ashamed... the black jesus still loves you...-Jésus noir

take action!!

[iAmCaffeine]

Servers have been dodgy today.

[ronsizzle]

i have a new macbook, and i just go wired in when im on cc. that is the only way i dont get lag, and see the communication errors. no matter how good of wifi you have, if you arent rolling in the 50's on the speed test, you get lag.

it is really a shame how cool this site once was.

maybe more bots would help it.

Don't exagerate, I only have 13.7 Mb/sec internet speed, and never have lag. I used to at the start of the year, when all europeans seemed to have been experiencing trouble, but that problem seems to have been solved.

There is a lot that could improve about the website, but server performance really isn't that much of an issue. If it were you'd hear non-stop whining on a daily basis.

Really? From the 24th of november until the 4th of december this topic was silent once again. That's 11 days out of the 19 days this topic has run. I see similar trends in other topics regarding the same subject.

Go f*ck yourself ghettoboy. Don't talk to me.
Don't you have some local rapbattles you have to attend to.

aside from your racist tirade, what have you really contributed to this thread? the fact remains multiple members are posting in here concerning site lag. your claim of low traffic to the thread, is laughable, due to the LOW NUMBERS OF SITE MEMBERS WITHIN THE FORUMS DUE TO THE GREAT DECLINE (go check that thread out, too)... so, you haven't really posted anything to disprove what any of us have said. we aren't making this up, it is an actual thing we all deal with. and good luck in C&A (https://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewt ... 2#p4756892)... way to keep the discourse at a high level!!! the black jesus has spoken...-Jésus noir

Ronc logged in on a different computer and all of a sudden his issues are gone, seems to indicate the problems lie on his end.
