Hi all. First off, great game. I've been playing for about a month now. Hell, I liked it so much I built a gaming rig just for it, but..
This Sunday morning I started experiencing lagging and reset problems in battle mode. I get very high ping rates that drop suddenly, and 5-10 second gameplay lag. (The last game I imagined a 10sec fireing fuse on the cannons and rigged 5 seconds beforehand. Alas my adaptablitiy is sabotaged by a brief 10sec reset sharing space with enemy vessel, then back to the last battle position hoping I aimed the ship/cannons 10secs earlier and.. I get booted from the server.
I have tested the integrity of game cache OK. 2 server maintenence intervals have not remedied this issue.
I have to say also that I am experiencing minor conexion troubles at my end which I'm hoping to fix today. But I don't think this could be related.
Anyhow, the only upsetting thing about all this, is the fact that in my last attempt to see if the problem had been sorted, my exceptional Surprise ship just vanished from the game.
I have sent 3 reports in-game about this, and I am confidant that these issues will be resolved. Unfortunately until then I simply can not play without my best ship and unable to gain XP.
Would re-installing the game help, or would the 4 hour download time be another waste of? Other than being patient, any other suggestions regarding this would be appreciated. Thanks.
