Before the new expansion hit I had a perfect game connection and could play without many fps drops and with the complete absence of lag spikes but since the expansion has launched it has made my game almost unplayable.

 

Every few seconds inconsistently my MS will jump into the 1000s and my connection will stop entirely. I have noticed this is much worse when the server population is high, very late at night my issues nearly completely go away and the game is again playable.

 

I thought this could be a server issue with the population increase but then everyone would be experiencing this problem too and I haven't heard anyone else having it.

 

Let me know if you are experiencing this too or if there is anything you think I could do do improve things, thanks.

I have the same problem on the german server. Before the update everything was fine, now my connection spikes between 90ms and up to 13k ms. I would really like to play, but it seems now impossible to do. Staying up late is out of question for me.

Yea I have this too.

 

I updated and played SWTOR for a few hours before the launch of Onslaught and everything was fine.

Finished 3 chapters of KotET on twink with no issues whatsoever.

 

After the update to 6.0 SWTOR became downright unplayable.

Latency seems to jump all over the place.

Very frequently the latency reaches 20000ms.

 

I suspect something with the update isn’t to the liking of my ISP: Vodafone.

I can't stay connected for more than 2-3 minutes at best. Everything was cozy before Tuesday.

 

It's also nice to see that I can't open an EA ticket and show them my traceroutes and pings showing that it's not me or my ISP. I can only open a ticket in game. I can barely stay in game fast enough to type a sentence. I have one ticket open that I can't add to or close.

 

Great support, guys.

I have been facing the same issue since the update launched.

 

I am brazilian and usually get around 145ms of latency, with spikes here and there to the mark of 160ish. Playable. Never felt it could impact the gameplay.

 

Now, it's borderline impossible, to the point that completing a quest is a very difficult task, walking around to a NPC and the latency keeps skyrocketing from 150ish to 14k and stays there for some time. It happened during prime-time and early morning periods.

 

Connection looks fine with other games and even other EA games.

same here, starts at 4pm mez. primetime unplayable

 

lagspikes from 300 - 20000 atm

window: 16 mez - 22/23mez

loc: germany

loc ig: any places

chars: any chars with or without comp

 

spikes are begun with "onslaught"

not amused atm

The same with me. (Server: Tulak Hord)

 

Since Onslought is available, there are enormous peaks that go well over 1000 ms.

 

Without VPN or programs like WTfast, it has become completely unplayable.

But this causes additional costs that not all players can afford.

Same problem for me. (Tulak Hord)

SInce Onslaught I have massive spikes every 1-3 minutes in the 100-10000 ms range. Sometimes even up to 30000+ ms.

I have been experiencing this problem as well and I too play on Tulak Hord. No outright disconnects, but combat is very laggy and every second to third ecnounter downright arduous.

 

EDIT: Today I had flawless and stable latency and gameplay in hours where the server traditionally has the least population. As the day progressed, this worsened considerably until arrving at the near unplayable state again.

Same here.

 

Every 1-3 minutes I get a crazy lag spike. My ISP is fine. Didnt have the problem before 6.0.

 

(Server Dath Malgus)

Same here. I play on Darth Malgus, but live in Germany (ISP is Deutsche Telekom).

It was fine before 6.0 hit but now it's almost unplayable, random lag spikes every few seconds. The latency bar is jumping between three, one and zero pips back and forth. I also have zero issues with other online games and the internet in general.

very strange indeed, I'm on a 1Gbps glassfiber connection playing on Darth Malgus and it keeps going from 40 to 5000ms.

one again since 10am cet, lantency to the top of 20k. pingplotter said: ffm-b4-link.telia.net , same situation as every day. the whole telia hops lost packets from ffm to dublin biowareserver.

I'm also experiencing this issue, although it's seemingly at random intervals. Everything is fine on my end, this problem only persists in SWTOR, since the 6.0 Onslaught update. I was playing a lot before the expansion dropped, and I didn't experience lag a single time for weeks.

 

This is making the game borderline unplayable, as it is entirely dependent on servers.

 

Playing on Darth Malgus

Edited October 27, 2019 by PainusFaighter

Almost unplayable... German server spikes up to six-digit ms. I even die in storymode XD What to do? My internet is fine but swtor wont really run anymore without lags.

Some people claim using a vpn fixes it?

 

Dont ask me how...

Tested with pingplotter myself today and for me (Tulak Hord Server) it's package loss as well. The hops to ffm-b4-link.telia.net, ffm-bb3-link.telia.net etc. - the rest of the hops is fine. The b4 one looses almost 60% of packages set its way. *sigh*

once again at 4pm cet the telia hop closed for filetransfer and brings the latency to the top of 20k.

plz do ya fk'ing job and bring a fix.

/push

Darth Malgus server and showing over 80 fps but click on my Legacy cargo hold and nothing happens...

 

All the time I get in combat there are horrible lag spikes and I need to have a rotation memorized... very frustrating!!

/bump, had 320k latency during a bossfight recently. Get your **** together, bioware.

same here.. 4k spikes..

/bump

Same here Im on Darth Malgus and every 1-2 min I get terrible lag spikes from 30ms and then in a sec it go to 2k ms and more even disconects. My ISP is fine and I have no problem with other games latency.

I have the same problem, and the lag spikes get progressively worse until the game is completely unplayable.
