Ok is it just me or are the servers the worst they've ever been today?

[Noctover]

Thanks all for the responses. Im guessing its a mixture of easter + new patch week, glad it isnt just me!!

 

[SeaFireliv]

Got a disconnect just now, right in the middle of changing cargoes in outfitting. Seriously? I can`t even stay and outfit without a blasted connection?

I have fibre-wire net in the Midlands.

I`m going to go F04, at least i know I won`t get disconnected there.

My best disconnect today was at J memorial while outfitting. Logged back to 0% hull and a 50k repair bill. Don't trust the maintenance staff there anymore if they can do that much harm in 30 seconds.

 

[Smykes]

I've lost count of how many disconnects I've had today..
Solo or Open it doesnt matter...
FSD charging... 4 3 2 1 disconnect..
another time, warp in.. stutter stutter disconnect.,.didnt go splat btw
and anytime I dropped into a USS to scan datapoint or scoop mats and had to fight baddies to get out..
I hope I dont get an email from ED querying my NPC combat logging hahah (cynical laughter)
Its a Sunday and a holiday for the next few days.. I expect servers to maybe improve slightly midweek..maybe
Think Ill go fishing..

edit:Virgin media 100 down 8 up no issues before 2.3
ping to Maidstone = 22ms
ping to ED server wherever it is...ingame 170ms

No idea exactly how the ED servers operate but I get the feeling that somewhere in the chain of connections there's a particular thing that's slower than all the others.

It's most noticeable if, say, I'm playing in solo and I see a friend log in.
I'll quit to the main menu, start in open mode and I'll immediately find that the maps & station menus are horrifically slow.
I can then quit to the main menu, log back in again and this time everything will be nice and speedy.

Dunno if it's a symptom of a problem with my ISP, with the game's servers or with the internet in general but it seems like one (or more) of the connections isn't as efficient as the others.

I'm disconnecting frequently and experiencing long delays waiting for contract boards etc to open. It's been like this for three days for me.

FDev, please. You insisted this game had to be multiplayer and an always-on deal. I still don't know why, since that's a total departure from the previous Elite games, but okay - that's what you wanted. But given that, please, at least give us a server setup that allows your playerbase to be 'always-on' if they want to be.

Just hit frequent disconnects. On top of my outfitting transactions not being saved.

Something is rotten in the State of Denmark...

 

[Alric]

Yeah just trying to explore in the middle of nowhere, any game mode, multi-minute jumps and matchmaking disconnects frequent enough for me to consider it unplayable.

 

[Cthulhus]

same for me... Almost unplayable ! and I can't understand why the launcher said that all is okay????? Since today, the game is slow in terms of server connection. Sometimes slow delay in game on map, missions board and other server interaction like jumps ...

On the launcher, I saw : Servers OK. I double check my connection and it's not me or my computer.

What can we do ? It's not really acceptable when forced to be online for solo play by the way...

Thanks FD for fixing server issues ASAP and please be more honest about server status on the launcher. For me the servers are not well...

Thanks

Not sure if this is the same issue, but just landed on a planet looking for Niobium where it has a 3.0% yield, 47% Nickel Yield, 38% Carbon Yield and quite a few other nice materials, but Nothing!!!! The scanner did not register one single signal source other than my ship when it landed.

So jumped to another place on this planet....Same, so jumped to another planet in same system...NOTHING?????

I like Denmark. I've been to the music festival there a couple of times. Roskilde.

I can recommend it.

 

[Arnoldo]

I'm on a Virgin fibre connection, no issues with any other connection/app but having adjudication and matchmaking drops, long witchspace cruises etc. - worse than anything I usually experience

Damn, just been binned, now can't get back on!

You know its FD's end because theres no FD post in the thread.

 

[lacaplol]

Same issues here. I login and enter my ship, fly around for maybe 2 minutes and then the screen goes blank. When I try to relaunch the game, I am back where I started so it seems those 2 minutes aren't being registered by the server.

 

[[VR] Frank_G]

Just you; things are smoother than they've typically been (for me).

^ This goes for me too.

Yup, had this problem surface mining in Ebor. Specs said Ebor 2 had lot of stuff, Nothing on the scanner at all. Spent 30 min. searching. Went to Ebor 1 and things ere back to normal.

 

[S~P]

Had to give up, 5 minutes jump time and unable to connect to mission boards, what do you expect when they just release a new update.

 

[gooddoc]

Iv had enough! I'm done for the night!
