Beginning: (As all good stories have one.)
So, I randomly logged in this evening after having no problems at all, all day long...
Connection:
I'm using cmd > ping www.google.com -n 135000
17-50ms normally. 170-180 during chunk updates as I move around.
Speed Test: (Multiple times)
Speakeasy.net was showing a 4-6 thorough-put mbps connection and 70ms to california.
Experience:
I ran to Imperium and engaged Potpete in PVP was very nearly unable to do anything at all. I landed 2 smites at long range and then died horribly. None of my dispels, heals, etc. Nothing was working, even smite was bugged out.
Well, I came back and repeatedly died to him, and then later MrChucklez. I was only able to cast one or two more smites the entire time, and I had to spam every key on my keyboard and mouse to get my pray to work, and then it was freezing me in the "casting" debuffs until it finally landed on myself.
I'm not sure what's going on, further testing showed I was pinging around 500ms+ when I was engaged with players nearby, and then I was experience HUGE rubber banding distances, like 50-100 blocks or MORE! 10 seconds of people standing still then teleporting directions.
The lag seemingly goes away when I'm out of range of people. Furthermore, I noticed that my skills weren't landing unless I was out of "Mining block" range. about 5-6 blocks away from players, and I could use smite. Anything closer or if I target blocks near them or around them I can't use skills. I can't even bandage, scan, dispel, pray, etc.
Not sure what's going on... or even how to fix this, my latency was stable when I was sitting in Nevermore, at the graveyard.. until people showed up.
Then it was spiking and utterly freezing, I was about 60 blocks away, no exxageration, from MrChucklez then I was immediately teleported backwards the entire distance, hit by bolt, 2-3 really fast fire ticks, root, and fireball (on my chat log), all simultaneously and died.
I got fed up losing armor, enchanted items, and diamond weapons to NAKED CASTERS. So I logged and thought I'd share my experience.
The main thing I'm worried about is the lag around players that seems not normal, it was not lagging at all earlier today, infact I kill them naked outside of BG a few times.
Also, it's the fact my skills aren't targeting things when I'm in spoutcraft. I will have to try default client next, but I'm betting this is some sort of server lag at the host end, TS3 was not lagging at all, and it seemed as if my client was increasing processing on the network side or being redundant or looping data and causing the spike in connection speeds. My framerate was completely unaffected by this lag. Which is further proof this is plugin or serverside, or clientside but on the network perhaps?
I'm not sure. Please help.
I'm guessing upgrading or downgrading spout will fix my problem, but I have no time atm to really test this atm, will do tomorrow.
