New player here.. But is it me or is it laggy? - PSO-World.com Forums

Hey all, I just started out on PSU Online... However... I'm quite dissapointed... Mostly due to the lag that is around.. I don't know if it's just me, but it takes like 2-3 seconds before my dmg registers, which makes it extremely hard to dodge hits too...

Anyway I'm from the Netherlands, connection isn't bad or anything, never had such a bad latency with any MMO... Is it me or do more have the problem?

Also, when will AotI arrive in stores here? Seems like the normal PSU servers are pretty quiet... And I do have to agree on what I was told by someone on the onrpg forums... You either need to play with RL friends or be good at making friends in this community... Isn't as open as most MMO communities that I've seen... But that's just my 2 cents...

Hope I can get some help here, quite dissapointed so far, while offline rocked...

The servers are in the US, despite this being US+EU PSU, so some latency is to be expected. Also, if you're on the PC version, you can simply import the US copy of AotI, there's no region locking. If, however, you're on PS2, you'll need to do some things I probably shouldn't talk about here to bypass DNAS, the PS2's system for online gaming integrity. And if you're on 360, you can just download it from the Marketplace.

You can import AotI, if you don't feel like waiting till January 9th. The regular PSU community is pretty low.

I'm gonna assume you're on PC. You might want to try changing your settings around. Frame Skip set to 3 helps a lot.

Yeah I'm on the PC version... And well, I'm doubting importing an US copy, because of the lag.. I'm not too fond of playing like this... I was looking forward to playing online alot...

EDIT: Well.. It's not FPS lag, it's network lag :S

Yeah the lag seems to still be a problem. Spamming Sacred Stream with a full party will cause way too much lag. ><

Is it any better on the AotI servers? Has it always been like this, or will it be solved? I mean, it's just unplayable in my eyes... I managed to die because of the lag as a lvl 5 on one of the early missions... I can't even imagine mobs starting to hit more, since I just can't avoid it with this lag... I see the mob swing, I move away, and still get hit...

Sometimes is not the connection issue, my laptop got no lag at all but my quad core desktop lags when i am not in town. It may be the graphic issue, try setting ur frame skip to 2 (or play around with it). This helps for my desktop.

ViciousXUSMC · 12-11-2007, 06:00 PM

Just the opposite for me, the game runs PERFECT on my desktop wich is slowly falling behind the times with a single core opteron 148 and a geforce 7800gtx vs my desktop wich is nearly 2x as powerfull with a core 2 duo and a 8600gt.

All games and benchmarks run faster/better on my laptop, but I get SEVERE slowdown in PSU on my laptop, its unplayable with how slow it gets, seems to be tied to mostly outdoor areas, its probably a driver issue or something.

There you go.

Unfortunally, the servers are a bit far from you to have such a good connection. Players from the US also have similar problems trying to connect to the Japanese servers.

Hmm should I give up on PSU then? :S
