What's up with the FSD jumps again?

[The Law]

So starting today evening, I noticed sharp increase of time spend in hyperspace when jumping between systems like when game launched last year, record being some 2 minutes. Is it just on my end, or the part of the galaxy I am currently in or are people suffering from same issue? Could it be related to servers slowly becoming hammered by people returning back to game before the Beta?

 

[Layne Vakarian]

Good question. I'm currently in mid-jump

As you see, I'm also reading your post. Jump still not completed, as I press 'send' on this reply...

 

[MarktJones]

All the new players from Steam causing a bit of a slow down?

 

[drholliday]

Haven't noticed any slowdown so far. Are you somewhere near Eravate? I'd guess it might be a 10 buck problem ;-)

Unfortunately its the server bandwidth on their side. On a Saturday I can stream 8 matches simultaneously with no problem, I have 100Mbs connection and last night 16 jumps took 41 minutes, excluding fuel scooping and 15 seconds per system deducted for transitional flight!

Kind of messes up any delivery missions over 200Ly, explorers and rare traders must be really annoyed.

If by 'near' you mean anywhere within a 30KLy range or so, then 'yes'.

Yes, I am quite annoyed, because I am still some 7k from Sol (returning from Deep Space expedition that took me 3 months) and want to be back by monday.

Pretty much this. Your time in hyperspace during a FSJ is a loading screen, so, if there's lag on one side or the other you'll stay in hyperspace longer. The longest I've been in a tunnel is about a minute. Almost want to use it as a screensaver.

Same happened last night for me.

I was thinking about something a little closer

 

[Macros Black]

Noticed significant improvement switching from Open to Solo.

 

[GunnerBill]

Yeah I was in jumps for minutes at a time yesterday and now the launcher doesn't work

 

[Deleted member 38366]

Is it the same like yesterday evening GMT time?

If so, Solo Mode indeed might be the best Option to avoid 1-2 Minute Hyperjumps. Was very bad yesterday and just noticed another one of these Minutes ago
(worked like a charm yesterday, when both Open or Group mode suffered from massive lag)

 

[ries]

jup got 2 minute hyperjumps and bulletin board not working, was in a private group.

solo works without probs.

 

[V3teran]

Been working really bad for me over the last 2 days. Never used to be like this

 

[Maro-Val]

Same here. Long delays on jumps are back.

 

[Maxulic]

I have seen that they have acknowledged server issues on the launcher. I switched to solo as it has been quite annoying these past 2 days, even thousands of LY from civilized space.

 

[CMDR Ellegon]

Same here, very slow loading screens and long jump sequences in Private Group, much better in Solo.

 

[Monsoon]

Trying to come back from Sag A is a major pain in the *** when you stay longer in FSD than you spend scanning whole systems
Why isn t the FSD contacting the server BEFORE the jump instead of while in jump

 

[Ian Phillips]

Maybe because until you actually engage the FSD no-one knows where you are jumping to?
