Hello everyone,


The DarkOrbit dev team would like to thank you for your incredible support, posting a lot of valuable information here.


We can confirm the following:


· Certain users – not everyone – seem to be suffering from a laggy connection between client and server.

· The dev team has made it their top priority to detect and isolate the issue.

· We have been following several leads and were able to add some tracking features to the game code to find out more details.

· There are ongoing DDoS attacks against several international institutions and providers which interfere with our efforts.

We expect that by tomorrow we will have enough data to continue our investigation.


We have agreed that once the lag issues are over, the following compensation will be scheduled


· The Lambda-Gate pieces players did not receive last weekend will be booked. This issue has been fixed.

· We extend the Assembly Launch Event to make up for the lost time.

· We will repeat the Galaxy Gate Days event.

· We will grant players some in-game bonuses.

· tba


Please keep us updated if the situation has changed – either for the better or the worse.


Thank you for your patience.


Your DarkOrbit Team

Server: USA East Coast 3
Map Location: All
Description: My FPS goes from about 60 to 2 every time I shoot an NPC

Notes: I have to say, I hope Bigpoint will extend the event due to this lag. It has been more than 24 hours since this event started and from what I hear it happened in the test server as well. Since this even only lasts 12 days they should extend it for the lost time.

 

yes, we will get and extra spaceball session, while our premium runs out and our uri goes on repairs....thank you

Map location: So far the only maps I have been on are 2-7, 4-5, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, 2-1, 5-2, and 5-3. In both 2-1 and 5-3 I have not tried to engage NPCs. But on all other maps when I start to shoot NPCs the game starts to lag and freeze up. After about 10 minutes I can no longer play because of my game freezing up for so long and so often. A re log "resets" so to speak the "timer" 'til the game play becomes worse. If I box or collect pally in 5-3 I do not lag. It is only when I shoot NPCs.

 

"Discouraged"

It's unfortunate we have come all this way in a once great game to realize the short coming of the staff and upper management.

What should have been done in this situation would be to remove what was added, make the game work, sort out the problems and re-introduce the game upgrade. But instead, nothing. Yes yes I know "your working on it". See how easy that was to type?

24 hours has gone by since this game became buggered yet here we are, unable to play. I can only truly wonder why that after all these years, I still have some patience left. User since 09-02-2009

Port jumps, Drones revert to standard formation, still
Shoot something, total game freeze, still​

You have been destroyed by a Boss Kristallon alien ship.

First time EVER.
It should be stricken from my record, but that's a support issue. I'd rather live with it.

Some day someone will figure out what "good" business is all about and this game will grow once again, do NOT hold your breath for that to happen.

Hmmm, perhaps they're trying to flog the game. Less active players to cry when they shut it down. Seems harsh but really who knows.

Call me negative, heck call me what you want, but be sure to add "loyal".

THANK YOU Night Mare for the update.
You guys would save a lot of grief if u were to post updates to severe problems on a more regular basis.
Most people get a wee bit angry when it looks like they r being ignored.
Thanks again.............

 

So is this going to be fixed anytime soon. I normally cube all day long and make about 200k uri a day, i havent been able to do that today or yesterday so you guys are keeping me from my uri because of this lag

 

Same as all players before me stated BUT I have to add, --------> The PET salvage protocols have not been working since the update.

 

The lag situation as now become an exploit and players are using it to gain player kills, as stated in the Terms and Conditions bug using and exploit using is forbidden. all players that have made player kills over the the time period of the bugged event should have any EP and honor readjusted so that these kills do not count and any rewards from the kills taken back. Trolling enemy maps to use a bug to make gain is not just unsporting but cheating. It is bad enough just trying to cope the already existing issues while they are being fixed.

 

There are ways of getting around the lag if you can figure it out your all set.
