I get the "total lag" too. The first thing I do when I suspect lag is try to view my profile, and it's always lagged/not able to connect at those times too. I'm using Firefox, on Comcast cable. Maybe there's a trend there. We should start trying tracerts when it happens, maybe the tubes are getting blocked somewhere close to the server. |

at 1:19 AM, Tuesday March 6, 2007 EST there seems to be a constant time when the game lags.
Everyday between 2:05-2:10 AM, EST, the kdice server is unreachable for a min. |

at 5:27 AM, Tuesday March 6, 2007 EST Typically looks like: Other player's counter runs down and freezes at end. Sometimes it is a different clue that things are bogged down, maybe something I post to chat not appearing, or seeing attack reports but no change to map, or seeing the downloading files slowly grind to a halt (is it just me or does it seem unnecessary to serve every avatar file etc every turn?). At start of game, I sometimes see 7th player sit and game start but no change to map to show setup.
If I am quick on the trigger and far from current player, I have some chance of refreshing before I lose my next turn. This lag happens a few times per game on average, but sometimes it's virtually every turn. Usually a few seconds to reconnect but sometimes much longer. Sometimes I have to try several times before getting back into the site. If the game lags badly enough, then I return to find myself back in a different room because the game I was in is already over (at least for me). Often it is just one player at a time lagging (though usually more than one player lags during a game) but there are definitely times when everyone at the table lags out. I'm using IE6 and cable. (I have seen my connection drop out a couple of times, but almost always my access to all other sites continues fine even while kdice is still lagged out.) Hope some of this helps. The lag seems to be worse lately. |
