Ok for context I have a Dell Precision 7710 ( https://www.dell.com/support/manual...ed19d1-97bb-441c-b0d7-49fd9d5ed312&lang=en-us) When I 1st logged into ddo after my computer had been fully shut down and restarted I got an error message that ddo was not responding which asked me to quit or wait, then it finally logged. I was experiencing some bad lag in the common areas. My husband who sits right next to me was not experiencing these lag issues so it was not our wifi. I quit logged in again, same issue. Checked my computer not hot at all cool to the touch. Entered DOJ raid with our friends, lag was so bad it was unplayable. I quit mid raid shut off my computer for a third time and came back on. Lag was still VERY bad. this is a client server connection/server overload issue. Not my computer, vid card, memory or wifi. I stuck it out till the end of the raid and my friends had to protect me and carry me which I greatly appreciated <3 and profusely apologized for. We then went into HOX and lag was still incredibly bad and made playing incapable. This lag was as bad as the night we experienced the wipes in the HUNT raid twice and everybody got very upset and took to the forums. But I wasn't the only one in the group experiencing it at the time and was the reason why I started my threads in the first place because I had NEVER experienced lag this bad prior to the 59 update. Also the reason I started recording our raids for proof. It is also why you guys are seeing other folks commenting that others are just trying to troll by saying your build is bad and why are you even trying to raid. Our builds may not be what someone would think it should be but we have been raiding for years so we must be doing something right. After restarting my computer for a fourth time I was FINALLY able to get a stable client server connection and experienced very minimal lag in the rest of our raids. Anyways I digress here is the horrible lag I experienced last night. Trolls have at it tell me its me, my computer, wifi, memory or whatever you like. I am posting this for the devs not you. Please Devs look into client server connections and server overload.
The latency of a network connection represents the amount of time required for data to travel between the sender and receiver. While all computer networks inherently possess some form of latency, the amount varies and can suddenly increase for various reasons. People perceive these unexpected time delays as "lag."
High latency can also cause high delays. For example, your video game might experience high latency, which causes the game to freeze at times and not deliver a live update of the other players. Fewer delays mean that the connection is experiencing lower latency.
Network lag happens for a few reasons, namely distance and congestion.
In some cases, you might be able to fix internet lag by changing how your device interacts with the program.<------ After the update some people were not able to log on and we were told how to go about trying to fix this connection after the update.
Bottom line is if they don't get bigger better servers it wont matter what they do to try to "fix" lag in the game aka monster pathing, high DA to get folks to stop zerging, changes to xp calculation, changes to to hit calculations and so on. This is a massive game with a massive following. The CEO's have to spend more money on better servers or this type of lag is going to become a constant and and folks will start playing other games. For instance I started playing Dragonheir: Silent Gods recently to try to find another online game that I could play with my friends instead of DDO if the lag isn't fixed and they make raiding an impossible joke for folks that don't have reaper wings and completionist.
Oh and making the game harder for new players to play aka DA and having to kill everything in a quest to reduce server load because the CEO's don't wanna spend more money on servers than the new players are simply gonna be turned off and not spend any money and never play again.
UPDATE:
Ok so I checked my settings and they were all set correctly to try to reduce lag. Nvidia card was already selected in ddo. But I did go into Nvidia to check if it was set to my card and it was not so I changed that.
Cordovan told me try changing my graphics from DX 11 to DX 9 so I did that as well. But it didnt work and the game crashed saying I needed a higher Gx then 9, which mine is Gx12
Now I will have to keep recording to see if this Super Lag happens again, which I am fairly certain at this point it will because it is a server issue and not a my computer issue.

and its an us problem. Yeah I've leveled up to 30 already. It's pretty cool. Not as cool as DDO, but not bad.
