OK for a while now i have been doing less and less PVP because of lagg. Each time i undock i get blown to bits due to severe lag. many years ago it was never like this. i could happlily be 1 of 50 ppl having a right slug fest and not much lag to worry me. Now though if there 50 of us i cant do jack S*** and die each time or just not being able to benefit anyone except to be a target. I have upgraded my broadband (was around 500) and now stands at 3mb even though i pay for 8mb broadband of which im only ever getting 3mb, even though im told i should receive 5mb. AOL FTL.
Urgrading connection made no difference. i also already have all settings at the lowest possible level in eve. I have a p4 duel 3.2 processor and had 512 ram. i just upgraded my ram to 4 x 1 gig sticks but my 32 os only allows me now 3 gig of ram even though motherboad supports 4 gig.
Upgrading ram also had no effect.
I am willing to do almost anything to resolve this as im seriously considering quiting a game i love, well when it works as intended.
My next upgrade im thinking is a graphics card to which i was thinking a AGP radeon 1900 series 512mb, currently i have a 128 radeon 9800 pro.
Thing is will this be just another wasted investment? A corp mate has almost identical specs as me but only has 2 gig of ram. yet he plays with no lag what so ever and this very system 2 years ago had no problems either.
IM i missing something obvious here? if a corp mate with a less spec machine gets no lagg but i cant do sod all and have lag like you wont beleive. all my losses recently have been down to lagg. pettition and get the same stupid message that they cant identify a problem at that time and there logs show nothing.
is it AOL causing the problem? my firewall perhaps slowing thinsg being sent to me? anything that i am missing would be useful to know right now just before i perhaps waste another hundred pounds on a new card.
Many thanks

Even if it isn't there is no feasible reason to actually subscribe to that garbage ISP.
But if your problem is in fact high latency and not low frame rate then the answer to your question is most likely yesyesyes.

It certainly sounds connection/isp related. I wouldnt expect blistering fps from your hardware, but its certainly good enough to handle small gang engagements without any issues.
AOL have a horrible repuation for poor connections and awfull traffic shaping routines. Id seriously consider changing your isp.

i would but im under a new contract. the buggers made me sign again to get what i was already supposed to be getting under the plan. so im stuck with them for next 10 months. plus i was told a few years ago i could only get a bt line here and then it worked out i could only go with aol to get internet. not sure how that worked but im sure i was conned. is there a way at my end i can sort out without changing isp? im not very good with internet knowledge and workings mind. so if there is a solution a easy to follow one would help.
I just wanna be able to play it rather than fight it.

is it GFX lag or -latency- lag?
I am going to assume that if it is GFX lag you might want to defragment your drive, clean out old, unused, large files. go find antiviral software, run that, defragment again, upgrade your ram to at least 1.5GB if it isnt there already...
might also want to look at freeing up your HDD in general from things you dont usually use. sig here: Myxx - Daughters of Venus - Battlecruiser, Cruiser pilot.

Personally i would suggest stop upgrading and build a new system from parts. My rig costs around $1000 from Newegg. AGP is obsolete and upgrading to anything decent on it costs more than a comparable PCI-E card. And PCI-E cards at the same price will perform better. The processor is also meh at best.
My rig: E6600 CPU (Though i would get a Q6600 now) GeForce 8800 GTS video 320 mb (doesn't matter until Trinity) P8B-Plus Mobo 2 gig ram
I run with Sound off, Turret effects off, "All" effects on. Damage messages off, color tags/background in overview on, trails off, LOD on, Dither on, (in Advanced graphics options, Present Interval is Interval One). Don't really have any issues with client lag anymore. But server lag can still get you...

the above i already have been running for some time and only started the Present interval last month.
at the moment i cant really afford a new system and dont know enough to make one from parts. my motherboard is PCI and AGP and not PCI-E :( so im stuck with AGP whicg there are some good ones out there and 1900 series supports sm3 Your signature is too large.

Try to do a speed test and pay particular attention to your upload speed. Download is rarely a problem with connectivity. If it's low (not sure what Eve requires to run well, but 768k should be more than sufficient), that may just be your problem.
Also do a ping -t to TQ, or use a packet loss tool, to see if that's your issue. If you're getting packet loss, you can do your best to narrow it down to a specific IP, and get in touch with whoever controls that hop and ask them or LOL (I mean, AOL) nicely to fix it.

Edited by: VicturusTeSaluto on 21/11/2007 02:34:25 Lag is not anything on your end. It's an issue of internet connectivity- or in an MMO often server issues. Think of the headphone jack icon back in the quake days.
I can not tell if you are having a problem with lag or trying to attribute some kind of a system issue to "lag" by using it in an unconventional manner.
Regardless, a video card upgrade could not hurt, but I would not underestimate the craptacularness of AOL. I remember back on AOL dialup people would report latency of like 600ms

Almost all of my lag went away when I started zooming ALL the way out and using the overview for everything. No more locks, freezes, delays, etc.
Sure you don't actually "see" what is going on but its smooth and playable. Might be worth trying.

Have you checked your pc for spyware?
You can use a program like spybot to find the countless rubbish aquired behind the scened of the internet.
Are you sure the powersupply on your pc is sufficient to sustain all the hardware? Do you know its rating? aka 350 watt etc
have you tried looking for BIOS updates for your motherboard. This may also fix any issues with your RAM unless the board just doesnt support it.
Upgrading the graphics will be needed for Trinity but as it stands EVE does not use the Graphics card therfore this will not solve your problem. I will also assume you have the latest video card drivers for your existing 9800 card

If so its probably your isp connection ping rather than anything else- somethign which wont show up when you do the basic speed tests on bandwidth...

get a graphics design / 3D video production workstation, a fiber optic LAN card, and plug your fiber optic cable from your computer directly into the CCP network.
You'll "probably" not get any lag after that.

GFX lag is the inability for your PC to run the game, and is usually an issue with your machine. Latency is the internet lag between your PC and the Eve servers, and is usually a problem with your internet connection or the Servers themselves.
When you are in space and have problems rotating your camera (it's jerky and not smooth) then that is a sign of graphics lag. If there is a delay between doing something and it actually happening (activating modules, jumping, targetting, etc) or you randomly disconnect then that is latency.
It is worth noting that the game cannot cope very well with anything close to a largish fleet battle, and will have both graphics and latency problems to varying degrees with anything over 30v30, this is normal and everyone gets it.
One often overlook solution is to shut down any file transfers you may be doing, especially P2P stuff. You may have a 3Mb line but that is only download speed, your upload speed will be much lower and if you are (for example) seeding 5 torrents in the background then they can clog up all your bandwidth leaving none left for Eve.

Lag and EVE seems to be a very odd thing. The client side seems to be heavily reliant on CPU grunt more than GFX, indeed it's inferenced from some of the dev talks that in a modern system the GPU is largely idle; the engine being DX7ish in nature a modern GPU just sits there and goes "yeah, whatever, look at the shiny". Same with a multi-core CPU, current client doesn't do anything with it... Trinity apparently will change all of this... maybe.
Now. You've also got the way the game loads data. So entering a new area or a ship appearing that you not encountered for a while... or Jita. The system goes utterly nuts loading everything at once; not cool. This looks to be changing so it'll load things up as needed and look ahead?
So on the client side issues masqurading as 'lag' should go away, or be given a heavy beating shortly.
Moving on.
The eve client will be exceptionally twitchy to the configuration of your computer, so if you have lots of crap running in the background (little popup weather thingies, malware in general, Symantic/Norton anti-virus and so on) it'll cause your system to chug. Clean the cruft.
Defrag. It sounds like an older PC, but becaue of all the data loading I'd imagine EVE can be a bit upset by excessive fragmentation. Defrag the drive and whilst your at it cue up a chkdsk to make sure all the indexes and such on the file system.
Upgrades.
Whoa there. I would look at holding off and save up, eventually buying one of the common upgrade bundles (board+chip+ram) get a PCI-Express GFx card. If you absolutley must upgrade an AGP card I would look at getting a Nvidia 6800 or 7900 which did come in AGP 8x flavour (check your boards capabilities, if it's 4x you're stuffed).
AOL is the beast of ISP's, especially if they're still forcing the cute software on your before your computer becomes aware of the ADSL link. Ditch AOL as a matter of sensible ISP selection. For the UK, Zen are pretty good. Speed might not change though, ADSL speed is reliant on your distance from the exchange, all of the range checkers will go via crow-flies distance which usually isn't how the cable runs.

my system is alot lower than OP's spec but i suffer from Gfx lag and no connection lag (rarely).
P4 2.4ghz none HT single core northy, mobo is a cheap unknown maker maxed at 1gb PNY ram (2x512mb) 60GB hdd Nvidia 6600le (nv43 chip) 256mb agp x4 (core 300mhz -mem 500mhz) clocked too 324 core and 540 mem. ISP: orange.co.uk 8mb ( running at 2.3)
connection seems fine now after a year complaining. but gfx lag is very bad. ingagements requires me too zoom out of battle. max fps none combat is around 27fps, in battle this can drop too around 7fps. this i blame on the agp and graphics card also the cpu-gfx. eve is playable only just but i hope that trinity will help with my gfx-cpu bottleneck.i use a bt line also and have had bt techs check my line speed and is able too handle 8mb easy. funny how isp's say you can have upto 8mb but in reality your never getting that

If your downloading files (unreal tournament 3, crysis comes to mind) then you might want to limit your upload speeds since eating up your allready fragile bandwith speed is a wery bad idea if you don't know how to limit your upload, just turn them off while your playing
another idea is (as have been said) to cleen your computer from crap, be it unecisary files or virus/spyware by installing nod32 and adaware and have those run a scan for you |

You are saying you are getting 3mb while you've ordered 8mb.
In my experience as a technical engineer for a DSL service provider, you line length is probaly too long to support the bitrate of 8mbps.
DSL is designed so it will decrease the bandwith to an amount where the line will be stable. In most cases, this doesn't work correctly and is only solved by downgrading the line to a speed 10%-20% onder the max attainable.
My suggestion is to ask you ISP what the line lenght is. If it's over 3000 meters, then you are better off with a 2mbps line for stability. EVE should be very well playable on a 2048/1025 or 2048/512 connection. I use 3072/1024 with 4 clients and it runs perfect (on a P4 pc with Gefore4 Ti4200 AGP4x)
If the line is working as intended, maybe try a hard reset on your modem (prolly better to try that first :P)

Edited by: Shevar on 21/11/2007 13:51:10 Dual p4 3.2 and 3gb of ram should be enough even for trinity.
What I suspect the problem is is that your ISP is screwing up (or that you try to PvP in Jita...).
Easiest way to check your ISP is to do the following if you are having lag press start, run type in cmd press enter. You get a black screen where you can type stuff.
Type the following;
tracert 87.237.38.200
Then press enter
You should get something like this;

Trace complete.
The moment you get stuff like *'s or really high MS (above 200 or 300) then it can most definatly be your internet connection. Due note this *might* be because your ISP sucks or could be that you are downloading/uploading a lot of information (either through p2p or because you have a lot of spyware/virusses on your pc). So first step cleaning (not the literal one with a duster and stuff) your pc if that doesn't help then switch isp. ---

Everyone lags in Jita, thats server lag, nothing you can do about it.
Your large gang lag is probably down to your aging system spec (CCP have ramped up the detail of eve several times). I would seriously consider saving up your pennies to get a PCI-E system with a decent Graphics card.   ============================================

Well had to format hard drive last year and reinstall everything like new so from then original windows xp that came with the machine plus regular updates.
my system tbh 3 years ago was one of th ebest around and still now before i put in extra ram was still up to spec on benchmarks that i looked into. from what i gather atm the card is not my problem. i have a 128 one but eve does not use much card support at this time in its life, although i will need to soon upgrade the card for sm 3 and trinity.

This is why I really hate the misuse of the term "lag". The word means long latency leading to what your machine knows lagging behind what the server tells it. Graphics-related performance issues are not lag. This used to be a clear-cut distinction that most gamers understood, but lately people are calling anything from low framerates to load-times to network latency "lag" and it makes the word meaningless.
So, bascially, I can't tell what kind of performance problem you're having.
Eve has an issue with hitches when it loads things and this should be fixed in Trinity. It is supposed to have asynchronous loading.

Due note this *might* be because your ISP sucks or could be that you are downloading/uploading a lot of information (either through p2p or because you have a lot of spyware/virusses on your pc). So first step cleaning (not the literal one with a duster and stuff) your pc if that doesn't help then switch isp.

Your problem might be a stones throw away (literally). It doesn't look like you have a router hooked up, so you might just be getting some packet loss between your computer and the first hop or two. Try the following out to see:
Goto start, run. Type CMD. At the prompt, type: ping -t 195.93.23.129 Place that window on the left.
Goto start, run. Type CMD. At the prompt, type: ping -t 195.93.17.158 Place that window on the right.
Now, watch them for a few minutes, an hour, whatever. You're looking for a message that says "Request timed out." You missed some packets on both trace routes, so you're obviously getting some. Just let the tests run until you start seeing that message on one or both, more than once every minute or so.
If you're seeing it on the left window, you'll probably see it on the right as well, but either way, the problem exists between your computer and the first "hop", which is a connection somewhere outside your house/apartment/dorm/etc. If you're seeing the timeouts on the right screen, but not the left, the problem exists between the first hop and the second hop.
The information in itself doesn't really do much to help you fix the situation, but I had that exact problem, within the first couple hops, and followed those steps. It turned out to be a tree that rubbed a hole in the cable line, bewtween the box outside of my house, and the next hop up the street. Long story short, if you can help them narrow the problem down, you might get them to fix it, especially if it sounds like you know what you're talking about. PLACE SIGNATURE HERE What?!
