  1. I have started noticing the countdown clocks seem to be running SLOW if waiting for the time to pass to do something. I used to be able to watch the clock count down to finalize my SkyLab transfer and now I see I have to refresh the page constantly or wait 3 times longer for the counter to actually hit ZERO.

    What is up with this?

    I also am informed frequently there is not enough cargo space unless I wait a full 25 seconds (after selling my Cargo) to make my transfer and some times have to wait even longer, I know this is because of the LAG between servers (Back Page and Client) but this is not the way it was originally so what has been done to create this issue as it is seen on many areas requiring the interaction of the 2 areas?

    I'm having the first part of the problem for ages, if I send few ores so it takes several seconds and stay on the skylab page, it will not arrive without refresh. So I go to some other page for a minute and come back to finish the transfer. Same thing when it's only a few seconds for large shipment to arrive.
    As for the second problem, getting error that the cargo bay is full 30+ seconds after selling or using the ore, I think it started happening just prior to last hangar rework.
     
  3. Well I just recently started seeing the issue with the SkyLab Clock not counting down properly, as I used to sit on the page waiting for the transfer while sitting in the forums but now have to refresh the page frequently or wait triple the time.

    I actually started seeing the issue with the Cargo Bay right after the "Visual Update" April Fools Joke gone wrong. This was also when the MAJOR LAG was permanently added to the game, YES I know lag has been an issue for a lot longer than this but it used to be dependent on players on server NOT time played.

    I remember that joke, which went wrong, but I had to be on some other back page except Skylab in order to complete the transfer way before it. This was the case even before the significant lag was introduced due to ever increasing client memory and resource demands.
    In fact, my problem is not always "fixable" by refresh - when the timer reaches zero it starts blinking forever. Then I had to visit few other back pages and return after several minutes to complete the transfer.
