    I don't know the official name for the text that appears at the top of the screen when you kill something/Kill log/info screen/white text that no one reads/on screen log book thingy

    Anyway, it's sooooooooooo slow!
    I done an alpha gate, then jumped into 2-6 to have a fight, popped 1 person and died myself. Spawned back at the base and was fully repped and my rewards from Alpha were still popping up. This has been going on for awhile. Normally you could do an alpha and see the rewards from the text at the top instantly but now it's so slow it takes you 10 mins to see the rewards
    It's not just kills, when jumping into a gate it gives a 15 second countdown (15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 for those that can't count haha)
    Well instead of being in order, it goes something like 15,14,13,12,11,6,5,4,3,8,2,9,1,7)
    Examples below

    Time from doing Alpha gate
    12.02.2017 - 22:53 Alpha Gate completed
    12.02.2017 - 22:55 Jump credit used
    12.02.2017 - 22:56 You destroyed the space pilot: ŜPζĐΞЯˆΜΩЛКΞΨˆ{Šλм} (VRU)
    12.02.2017 - 22:57 SleepDeprivation from the EIC shot you down.
    12.02.2017 - 22:57 Ship repaired.
    It took me 4 minutes from completing alpha gate to finally see my rewards for killing the prots ... 4 minutes! Doesn't seem much but why is it it no longer instant?
    Why can I go make a cup of tea and come back and my rewards are still spamming my screen?
    Any news on a fix? Anyway to disable the text? Anyway to increase text speed?
    pls fix
    games unplayable srs not srs

    You are lucky.I pally and "palladium collected" texts keep appearing even after 10 minutes.It only stops when i logout.
     
  3. Yeah I also recently have this kind of issue and I though it was because I was lagged but turned out to be a server problem.
     
  4. I have the same problem but find I start lagging really bad after playing for 30 minutes, so have even given up doing gates.
     
  5. I have the same issue, it skips numbers on the cool down and then adds them after too so I get something like 15,14,13,12 .... 6,5,4,3,2,1,11,10,9,8,7

    It's annoying when I kill serveral nps and the rewards are coming several minutes later.

    u get the rewards instantly, its only the text that laggs behind, so i dont know whats the big problem.... its nothing gamebreaking and they will eventually fix it...
     
  7. This problem is annoying, my bonus box/NPC rewards came a few second later, so I thought that I didn't collect/kill it.

    I understand I get the rewards instantly but seeing rewards from 10 minutes ago is a pain.
    I jumped into rZone and fought a few people, used an emp and 12 mins later it was still saying "targeting device compromised by enemy emp burst" after one emp. I was on base in 1-1, so why was it still showing me pointless information from 12 mins ago?
    That's not right, that's not how it's supposed to be
    Im bringing attention to it as it's been going on for about a month now. Surely it shouldn't be that hard to fix right?
     
  9. Actually it has been going on since April-May last year and was associated with the lag generated with the Chat Upgrade, Visual Effect Upgrade (April Fools Joke), Launch of Assembly, and Hangar Update. It also falls into the category of items needing attention like the PvP kills and Quests not working correctly. I often like to know what I am collecting from Bonus Boxes and Booty Chests but with the current state of the game I can never associate one to the other any more. The Booty chests seem to take priority but then they are intermixed with the constant run of the lagging rewards Bonus Box collections also. So IF the DEV team want to fix it they need to look at the Booty Chest Text and see what is different between that and the rest of the rewards system.

  10. I also have seen the same problem. For many things it is no big deal, but for some it is more so. When collecting booty keys I seem to have to wait extra long to make sure the process is complete. I used to see the rewards instantly and know I could move on. Now we I have to wait to be sure or risk cancelling the process. When the server was doing the daily shutdown at 5:30 am the other day the countdown was in many places in reverse order and obviously much delayed. Temporal things matter like that since the scrolling log could be much delayed and we could assume we had close to the time indicated when, in fact, the shutdown is much nearer. I have killed aliens on one map, traveled on to several other maps and had the kills from several maps earlier keep scrolling by, sometimes over 20 minutes later. The messages used to stay for just a brief moment or until there was another one and were always in the correct order. Now they linger for much longer than that even if others should already be displayed. I play several ships on 4 different servers and have found it the same on all of them.

  11. I personally think the insta-log at the top of the screen should be removed, the log window is more than efficient, 3 places you can view your log:

    Top mid of your screen
    Log Window
    or Logbook on the backpage.

    Only need 1 on backpage and 1 on Game Client, keep the window, remove the "Insta-Log".

    Or give us the option to turn the "Insta-Log" on or off :).

    Also, change the BIG TEXT ANNOUNCEMENTS like "Base Destroyed" "Icey Has Spawned" etc etc etc, back to normal, it looks rubbish as a log entry. Or better yet, have it appear in Log and also as a BIG TEXT ANNOUNCEMENT.

    Simples.
     
  12. Yep this is getting anoying!
