I just tried this for the first time with an Apoc as my main and (for a twist) a flycatcher to knock out the frigs. I arrived, didn't look so hard, I killed the 11 rats without too much trouble.
Then the screen freezes, for over 20 seconds. The fps gradually picks up and lo and behold, the 'dictor is gone, the Apoc is in 50% hull. Amazingly the Apoc was aligned and so got away, but of course the Flycatcher wasn't insured. It was fully T2 fitted, so maybe 30-40 mil just gone in a flash, purely because CCP's server's aren't up to it.
Is this petitionable do you reckon? ------ ------

By the sound of it you had System lag rather than network lag. Thats your fault not CCP's i'm afraid .

The lag wasn't at my end, I can guarantee that.
Aside from AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ 2.21GHz 3.50 GB RAM and various other things, i'm on a hardcore university connection with psycho GB/sec transfer speed.
I know the lag is because CCP's servers are uploading an dumptrcuk of information to my computer, but the lag occurs either in Iceland, or at the uni's ISP. Either way, it's not my fault.
I want my dictor back. ------ ------

Edited by: Shadarle on 19/01/2007 21:23:38 If you petition it you'll prob get it back. Had a friend with the exact same problem, his client locked up and crashed from that mission I believe and he got it back. But I do believe it is system lag... and going by the stats you posted I would assume you don't understand why. You didn't post your graphics card which is perhaps the most important factor in the situation you described.

Yeah Marquis, I feel ya there. I have a very beefed up machine and I get the same issue. I can tell you that it's not your machine. I'm not sure what it is, but it is definitely server/network.
The lag occurs when the rats lock you. I go into a level 4 and lag out for about 20 seconds. Also, when my friends come in with me, I lag out when they get locked. I'm not talking FPS here, it's SPF.
I'm not sure what exactly is happening, but I surmise that some 'server optimizations' put some of the work on the client and there is a bunch going on with the client, causing the lag.
I can play D3 and HL2 on the highest detail settings on my machine and still crank out 45-60 FPS during all but the most intensive of gunfights.
The lag is not related to your machine.

Try turning off your sound if you haven't yet.

Never had the sound on. And I don't really think that's going to help very much in these circumstances. ------ ------

Odd, I have the lag when a big swarm starts locking me too, but the 2nd spawn on Stop the Thief is hardly a swarm, odd indeed. It does have quite high dps though. If this happens to you often you may want to get into the habit of turning on your repairers before the npcs start locking.

yeah, i have the same problem when dozends of ships agro at the same time, 20s super lag but that does not kill my cnr. There are a way too many lvl 4 missions with standard frigs. Less Frigs, less Cruiser and replace them with bigger ships with more damage output.

It's not the ships, its whatever those "asteroid" type things are. I'm not sure why that would cause so much lag on EVE-side (My computer would have no trouble at all), but it takes a good 15-20 seconds for your screen to unfreeze. I decline this mission when possible just because of that.

He was allready in the area and killed the first spawn, he lagged out when the 2nd wave arrived, how can that be the cause of the asteroids?

Maybe next time you get this mission start the logserver before you go in. It'll probably be fixed a lot faster if they have some client logs and dxdiags to help. I've done that mission myself plenty of times and haven't had it lock up on me for anything more than a second or two.

These Lags are to no small part the fault of CCP. They gradually try to increase the difficulty of missions. But fail to do it in an incentive way. Instead of creating interesting missions with different objectives, CCP goes the easy way and creates a bigger Blob of NPC.
Every balance in missions went out long ago. Ships that rely on speed to get in close and do damage do damage have no chance against Super-Blobs of Battleship Groups + Support. So the only chance is to put a mega shield-tank on your ship and wear these Blobs down. No more Tactic than to decide which spawn to target first.
I highly recommend the Mission-Designers to take a look at the Freespace- I-War- and Tie-Fighter-Series. The current system system only bores player while creating a lot of server and client stress.

Edited by: Mastin Dragonfly on 20/01/2007 11:35:15 From a recent devblog:
Quote: Similar changes can be made with NPCs, such as reducing the number of NPCs and increasing their strengths, bounties, loot and salvage materials accordingly. To be honest I think we should do that regardless, as I often find it a tad silly that with a single ship I can warp to a complex and clean out something like 100 ships in total - in an assault ship.
There is hope.

I would be inclined to believe he meant Doom 3. I might be wrong though.
