I'm in the middle of doing semiconductor physics homework and will hopefully solve the lag problem in EVE 1 day. In the meantime does anyoine know how to find Vdsat of a MOS Transistor given the impurity concentrations of the oxide, gate and substrate?

this is like the EVE Card Game; slowboating it, turnbased. --

I lagged so bad when my scorp blew I got the mail but my pod wouldnÆt drop even after about 2-3minutes of waiting for it. I logged out and tried to get back in but it doesnÆt seem to be working =/
The first 1 minute though I was actually able to shoot and jam, anything after that was just lag =(

You do know that having any form of gang mod fitted (cyno field is considered a gang mod) makes the rats target you first. At least that was the case before the patch.

Loosing a 300mio Command Battlecruiser to gaterats in the middle of a fleetbattle with noone else shooting you 
I wonder how GMs will explain you that everything went fine?
Anyway, my little lag story from yesterday:
Wanted to go to 4c to kill that goonie fleet. 4 jumps out I get lagged so badly that I couldnt jump anymore. When I was able to get to 4c the fleetbattle just ended and I could join in some camping. Then we moved out, lost 2-3BS cause clients had sync erros (lol, wtf? 3 of our guys were ether 12km from gate or jumped, just depending on who saw it) then I managed to get dropped again and missed the second part of the fleetbattle.
So 4h wasted with seeing lag and camping, managed to miss the 10mins of fun totally. At least the other guys had fun

Your own fault for warping to a belt with that much lag!  But yeah, it's a *****. When module lag gets above 10mins there isn't mauch you can do but just crash your client and wait for it to be over :/

Umm Vdsat is the voltage at the individual gate level.... that means EVERY transistor on your chip would be running @ 42V. Modern computers only use ~ 12V....

As one of the people involved with the [blue] fleet i must say i am very very unhappy with the lag. Wasn't sure if it was my internet or the servers (guess now it was the servers). I to was destroyed without getting a shot off. 100 million isk rook down the tube :(
To CCP: FIX IT!!!
To MC: I'm glad you guys descided to jump in and congrat's for holding the gate, i think you guys won that fight, But i think both sides took some heavy losses. BTW not smacking but did some of you guys get killed by our POS's?
To [BLUE] and allies: I thank everyone again for coming to support us and the carebear frontier. I hope this lag fest didn't deter the minds of those helping us to defend the pill and the rights of newer players access to 0.0 security space
As my internet has been f*#ked up for weeks and is worse tonight. I'm gone for the night to get drunk. Have a good night :) . . . . |

Yep, in the lag a lot of people clicked on planets and ended up at moons 
I must commend BB for their valiant defence of BWF against a force that they knew was much more experienced. Also with that, there was no smack at all (aside from the crazy guy now in a noob corp)
Just a pity the lag ruined what could have been a very nice fleet battle. Oh well, hopefully CCP can sort it out quickly and we can have some more exciting battles. (Unlikely i know but we can hope)

Looking through the MC killboard, I am getting the feeling that BB just ordered everybody to get in something big and put random mods on to show up in force.
Understandable that BB is a industrial alliance, and should not be expected to overcome tough PvP groups like MC, but I must seriously question the planning put in by the members of BB.
Shield tanking almost all your Scorpions... is BAD. Cap recharger fitted Megathrons with Blasters... are bad. This is not meant as smack, but I hope that BB leaders can get there act together, and get some kind of communication infrastructure that lets people know how/what to fit on fleet ships...

hmm - thats strange.
We fought in FAT against FIX with those sort of numbers, and it was fine - not perfect - but defintiely playable.
Only time I've experienced lag the likes of which you describe are was during the epic 400+ in local battles in 9CG with BoB.
And yes - it really does kill the gameplay  
Steve, if I recall we all had help that day from CCP they watched and set us up a node just for the battle I lost 2 T2 ravens that day, but I never saw no lag that day. man that was fun wish it was like that all the time. Normally in large fleet battles all I see is the station and so you died eh? lol hope a fix is in the works makes me want to cough cough mine in empire

Originally by: munchy and then we sat there for an hour getting 500k off the gate (accidentally turning on your mwd as hostiles jump in 4tl).
I did that in this battle, I landed in a bubblebath when I jumped in, so I turned on the mwd to get out of the bubbles..
Thing is.. MWD wouldn't turn itself off because of the lag, so I ended up about 200 km from the battle before I ran out of cap and MWD shut down.. :/
Also, during the 15++ minutes I was alive I only managed to activate one gun, once.. fun eh? :p

Split your forces into 10 different groups and have a small battle in each system in IPS.
Or just bump this thread more and hope for some more nodes or whatever it is they do in busy systems.

The great battle of VV-V in the days of the JQA didn't lag this much...seriously. There were more ships in space then too and many more drones.
Please CCP do something to increase the cpu or whatever to BWF and the surrounding area.

We knew you had carriers out and fighters assigned so we expected to take some losses. The MC Killboard should be about 98% accruate right now as people wake up and we fix a few pasting errors.
Your support got decimated and I think every Blue-alied BS within about 50 km of the gate bought it. We lost more BS than I would have cared to, but what do you expect when jumping into half a dozen bubbles, etc...? 
We did lose a couple ships to POS's and I believe those have been posted as well.
Overall, as had been said, lag was the winner. Still, it was a great fight simply because I don't think anyone was expecting one on that scale last night... and the war is just starting.

MC would like to tip the hat to you guys for sticking it out and remind everyone that enters the area that BWF is considered a war zone. If we see you assisting our targets in gate camps or such, you will be targetted equally as one corp has already discovered this morning.  -

Horrible lag it was, no doubt about it. Been in bigger fleets but this by and large the worst lag i've ever been in. Was only abt 200 ships in total in system so it shouldnt have been so horrible.
Anyways, was a good fight just had to calculate on a per min basis when to press the F1 keys  |

Battles like this make me want to not play eve. My experience:
Was orbiting the gate in my ares when the fight started, first hostile jumps in, I try to target him and attack, can't lock him. A few more show up, I try locking them all, figuring that the first one that actually locks I'll just attack; one finally does but then because I'm going at 5+km/sec the command to close isn't registered I go out of lock range and lose him. Proceed to start swearing a lot. Double click towards the largest concentration of enemy and try to approach w/ transversal, same thing happens again - by the time I'm able to lock something the super duper lag has moved me to 125km and it's pointless again. I then see some of the hostile battleships clearing the bubble and warping off to planet 7. Since this seems quite pointless (most of enemy fleet is still in bubble so tackling isn't really needed) I figure I'll remove myself from lag city and persue to that planet, lock one of them down and we'll get him there. I warp there and it's the same thing all over again. I can't lock, can't fire, can't approach, even though there's like 5-6 targets to attack. Ok, time for new plan I guess. I get fighters assigned to me, and warp back to the gate; I then figure I'll find one of the new warp ins at range, get in close, lock him down and light him up with fighters. I find a tempest and click on approach - this finally works as I'm able to shut off the MWD before I get out of range, I lock and get off a few rockets before a harpy starts shooting me and I have to warp out. Crap, I just got to actually do something. I warp back in and see a rupture close by, I move to attack this guy w/ my inty and fighters. I again actually manage to lock him, and command fighters to attack. This goes on for a few seconds when I get a jammed bar from a enemy apoc (seems they had no trouble targeting me) who assists the ruppy, then I get hit w/ a big lag spike and when it clears I'm in my pod. I warp out of there having not basically managed to do anything the entire battle.
Now, this char is one of my alts, the week before I was in the 9CG battle with everyone there; that was a 200-200 or thereabouts and it was the same thing. In that I was only able to lock one guy with my apoc in about 15+ min of fighting and the one that the server gave me lock on wasn't even the primary target, not that I had any choice over it because of the server lag. Nothing is new about this and that's where I'm complaining; I can remember fights in JKJ in outer ring and PF-346 in 2004 that were actually not as bad (you could do stuff once you waited the 10+ min for the screens to load). What's the point in getting a large force to attack or defend, if you know that the result will only be that you'll be so lagged out and unable to do anything that 1/4 or so of your force will never even get a chance to do anything before it dies, and another 1/4 to 1/2 will end up being spectators and unable to actually participate in the fight? After this battle I figured it was pointless to hang around in BWF and I grabbed another inty out of the station, warped to empire, and then started to try to bag enemy pods retreating back to their base. No lag for that and I had fun trying, probabally because I actually got to do something, unlike the previous 30 minutes.
Fights should be won or lost because of skill and the proper use of firepower, not because people may have better connections than you. However, in any kind of fleet fighting, that's not the case, and it's why I learned long ago to avoid it if possible - because winning or losing all usually depends on luck, and that's no way to play a game.

I was in the same boat as you . I was flying the ruppy and my armor was getting stripped by something that had me locked and your Ares. I clicked on all my guns and reo hoping they activated and I would live through the lag.

The official line from CCP in regards to yesterday's battle and the lag was essentially this:
"Sorry, we can't reinforce the nodes, the load balancing is automatic. Our logs show no lag in the area and no one else complained about this, and even if there were a problem on our end, there's nothing we could do about it. You'll simply have to move further away from that system if you start to experience lag. Have a nice day, and don't bother replying as there's nothing we can do."  |

This lag is pretty bad. I wasn't there for the massive lagfest, but on a later engagement, I locked a target, press them buttons for the guns, and it won't fire for like 8 seconds. To bad, I would have laid blow on the target before he warped off, and might have blown him/her up before he/she warped off.
After all these server updates and database upgrades. etc...I really didn't expect it.
Hope this gets fixed.
Btw. To MC, gj all, fun fighting.

Considering it's against the forum rules to quote GM's... I'd guess your doubts would be correct. However, it was surprisingly close to being exactly what was actually said (minus the don't bother responding part, but you get that from the tone of the rest of the message)
You know, people would be a lot more understanding of CCP's issues if they actually admitted to them instead of blatently lying to our faces in petition responses. Even a "You're right, there is a problem with lag. Unfortunately we can do nothing at this time but are constantly working to resolve these issues..." would be better than, "Fool, you lie! Our servers are perfect, the hampsters in your computer must have passed out from lack of sustinance, go feed them and see if that solves the issue." |

Edited by: Taurequis on 05/06/2006 12:05:42 Hi,
Just out of interest from those who were in fleet battles recently...
Huge fight in FAT - Not much lag 9cg - Lotsa Lag Coalition vs RA - Lotsa Lag BB vs MC - Lotsa Lag
From checking the killboards and chatting with peeps I don't think there were many carriers in the FAT engagement, where as I presume there were loads at the last three i've mentioned.
Is there a chance that the new fighter code and all the calculations the servers would have to do for the fighters be causing extra lag? Like how the pre-optimisation drone code did?
Was just an idea that popped into my head in this post upgrade era....
Best Regards,
Taurequis

It's possible, but I think the huge POS network in BWF probably plays as much, if not more, of a factor in the problems there. I'd really like to get some clarification on this one.
Then again, the North has always sucked for this sort of thing AFAIK. -

also constant war zone have less problems with lag than zones where a new big conflict begins.
When we attacked outerring with 250 people, we suffered next to no lag. Harldy any emergency warps and everythhing was smooth. When we attacked goons in 4c, I lagged out 3 jumps from the system and we had lots of lag problems, emergency warps after every jump and parts of our fleet unable to do anything (without beeing in fight)

From my (limited) understanding of how the guts of the game works, Id be reluctant to principally place blame on our POS As we know space is divided up into grids, but theyÆre far more than just some arbitrary cut off value which limits the overview range. They seem core to how the server determines which client needs to exchange what data with the server and other clients. A Grid is like an air traffic control region, it handles the transactions of its local activity and exchanges responsibility of the management of an object with another Grid as the object moves out of its control. When you jumped into our home you didnt have 40 Deathstars saying ôLet me at 'em, let me at 'em! Huh, Uncle Scooby, i'll help you catch the bad guy, right Freddie!", simply because each one is blissfully ignorant until someone warps their ship into its Grid.
Eve apparently uses a dynamic load balancer, system resources (CPUs) are distributed to areas of space dependent on the load in those areas. However as the ôfleet battle lagö issue illustrates it may not be a real time dynamic balancing, rather at down time perhaps one server task is to collect statistics on that days load (not just the raw numbers of pilots, but the level of data exchange), this is then combined into some sort of running average of previous days (just like the Donchain Channel on the market history û the spike red tube that shows the range of prices but takes into account previous time), the server then uses such as predictive data to assign nodes amongst the CPUs. Over time areas that see heavy network traffic will thus have a greater share of the resources dedicated to them.
Historically I doubt if IPS/Geminate has ever seen such load (it is the armpit of space after all). During peace time though the numbers of pilots in BWF can exceed 100, theyÆre generally all doing predictable things: mining, ratting, sat in the station plotting with the Jovians, rather than having a big party all on one poor Grid.
Id be surprised if your client would be happy with a gentlemanÆs agreement between MC and BLUE to try to limit the blob arms race (but you never know), thus it may be a matter of biting the bullet and just trying to cope with the lag until Mr Machonet lets us have a bigger slice of the cAkE. - - - The Big Blue, ôExodus realised.ö |

PAH
while in 9cg i was being chased by an army of fighter, luckily i never lagged out on reaching the escape point.. it kept me on my damn toes though..
being chased by fighters in a battleship with mega lag was NOT what i call fun.. i needed new pants every time i came out of warp :F And i believe the actual carrier pilot or the assigned controler was too lagged out to recall them heh. - I Shoot first, ask questions about your veldspar mining technique later

Deal with it, hold your discipline and come out on top or at the very least you have some of your forces in system. Where's the problem?
We, all of us that read/post in this forum don't really expect to have this problem go away any time soon do we?
You pay $14.95/month for lag?
probably 95% of our gameplay is lag-free, so no, we don't.
Unfortunately the 5% seems to indicate that eve is "omg laggy".
For what it's worth, I continue to pay my money because I fully expect CCP to make enough improvements that, though lag will always be a factor, it will be manageable.

Just a porter Miss Seleene. Dianabolic, Im quite happy in my job, thus hereÆs to hoping that there still is a job once the rowdiness on campus has died down.

Indeed, I peppered my hypothesis with perhapsÆ and seemÆs for that very reason.
It sounds like it was part of an interesting conference (link does include actual mmorpg design articles and not just power point presentations, however not Eve specific ones). Im afraid, my googleFu has not turned up a transcript, so weÆre left with trying to piece together a picture from pretty but incomplete fragments.

It was about average in terms of battle si participated. Several of the big ones in D7 actualyl ahd less lag.. some battles had more. And I actualyl got to activate my modules on several targets.. allthough I suspect Cowboy, on who'se armor I helped to chew untill eh warped out,didn't die. *grin*
But yeah.. swapping crystals and targetting new people was a tough job for close in people.

Edited by: Red Six on 05/06/2006 16:05:30 While an interesting peek into the game I'm not sure how truely useful that PDF was for the player since we don't have the transcript of what was discussed with each slide. Though you have to love anyone who manages to slip in a Blues Brothers pic and quote on something like that.
Edit: I say this because this high level was covered in dev blogs back in 2003 to some extent. I'll see if I can find those.

As opposed to the common thought that Euni is only noobs we do have some awesome Directors, Professors, experienced players etc.
Irrilian is one of those who I have the greatest respect for and his combination of in game commitment, knowledge and modesty is unmatched.
There you go that is my Euni recruitment post.. well after the war of course :)
