Did something happen on the servers since last night?

Hi all,

Was there a server side update or something?

Havn't played since last night when I finally got to Allied with Sirius Corp at Ashby station.
Just tried logging in today for first time and...

1) it now takes over 6 minutes from launch to be at the station services screen for me today.
2) all my rep has been reset! all of it.

I'm in Auckland NZ so keen to hear if it's just me or others have seen this...I've seen nothing on the forums and I've been in here several times today.

I'll raise a ticket but thought I'd check here first.

Around midnight UK time I checked my transactions tab whilst in SuperCruise and it was blank. Checked again a minute later and it was back to showing the Gold CG participation. So I think the transaction servers had a bad pint last night :/

Not trying to be annoying, but just thought I'd say I've been on for two hours now with zero issues or delays so the ED servers are not broken all-round.
I'm based in the UK which I suspect has a lot to do with it. I rarely have any issues apart from a little slow-down in UK peak gaming times meaning mission board/map may take 10-15 instead of 5 seconds to load.

That is odd? Still no issues here I'm in the Mobius group just now. If I do get issues, switching to Solo often helps.
Worth mentioning that I do get instancing issues when Winging up with random commanders.
If I wing with my RL friends, who are geographically close (<200 miles) then, again, we rarely have problems.

I just did a hard reset on my internet router and everything is now back to normal.

Weird. Everything else internet wise, seemed to be working fine...just not Elite.
(Netlogs were full of web server errors)

Not trying to be annoying either, but I'm also in the UK and the lag has been terrible. And not only since last night either, try the last couple of weeks although last night was particularly bad. And up until a few weeks ago, everything was running buttery smooth...now it's anything but. Starting to lose patience now.

I usually restart the game client until it tolls to a server that is responsive. Sometimes takes a few attempts. I wonder if the servers (AWS if the rumors are true) are all in the UK or are they geographically spread out?

Been bad for me all weekend...

I'm sure "something" happened because whilst I have no lag issues (sorry about that), my shaders went through their slow update this morning, which is supposed to happen when something changes either locally or I believe on the server.
Still only took 15 seconds to go through both phases though (usually around 2 secs if nothing has changed, and yes, I have them set to run every time as I find the game is then completely smooth. I even get the mission faces appearing almost instantaneously with the missions themselves.)

Oddly enough, I would confirm the exact same thing happened last night where the shaders started going through the slow update/loading routine. No changes on this end as regards drivers updated, so it was a rather odd thing to happen. While I have had random disconnects and bad lag, (And 2 in the morning is hardly UK peak time), last night was the first time I saw the shaders go through their loading slow routine. Almost as though something were added to the code that wasn't properly bug tested or something, I dunno.

Resetting the router makes absolutely no difference at all...that was one the first things I tried and that was last week. The random disconnects have gotten a little better, but the lag is constant and getting hard to play in now. Considering the amount of players complaining of similar issues, I'm loathe to put this down to the fault of the player. Whatever the problem is, I truly believe it's on FD end of things.

I'm trying to be annoying. I'm just not sure how to do that. I guess I could try pointing and laughing, but that seems too juvenile. I guess I'll give up. :D

Sorry to hear you're having problems, OP (and others). Network stuff is difficult to diagnose/fix. I occasionally have server errors here in the US too, but not too often. It's been pretty reliable.
