Severe lag since update

10-second freezes, NPCs and mobs taking a long time to spawn. The game is currently unplayable.

Is anyone else having these issues?

    Don't play on the market server while this event is taking place. People dropping large amounts of items from the sweeping event causes the server to experience load issues.
    I did experience some strange spikes on Mari's market channel but on the off channels the game plays absolutely fine.

    I play in the "dead" channels of alexina and I still get these issues too.

    I can run Witcher 3 and FF14 without lag or very little frame drop rate so its not my computer either.
    I just started experiencing these issues since last maint..
    Tried commercing again yesterday and bandits would spawn without warning and appear late and I can barely kill them from the lag and fps drops.

    I have not noticed these issues yet. try going into options on nexon launcher or steam and click verify integrity of files and see if any of them are missing (I use the steam version but the nexon launcher has a repair option that says something similar) could also be a internet problem so restarting your modem might help and if that doesn't do much you could try doing a ip release which can sometimes smooth out internet problems. here is a guide to do one: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~help/networking/IP_renew.html

    usually when there is a problem it is almost always mabi's fault but it doesn't hurt to double check everything on your end just in case :)

    Not an internet problem for me. I've tested it by opening other MMOs, and they all run flawlessly, without a single second of lag.

    So its safe to say this is on Nexon's end.

    To make sure, try pinging to the Mabi servers and check your ping. (https://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Lag#Network-Side)

    I have rubberbanding sometimes (being only 20-25 ping) however I've never had it to the extent you've had.

    Yeah this is definitely server-side. It's REALLY bad. It's most of the time impossible to do anything combat-related.

    I play on Alexina and the issue seems to be there regardless of server, the CH1 (the market one) is just as bad as for example 5, 6 or 7 when it comes to delays in NPC responses and the time it takes to activate a skill.

    This really needs to be fixed asap, now with the potion event it's like three times as bad because of all the drops (I assume). Those of us that want to quest and

    Weird my post got cutoff.

    Those that want to quest and combat are more or less incapable of doing so 16 out of the 24 hours (Some hours seem..decent at least).

    Update: It's definitely server-side. I pinged the servers and looked into them, I don't understand how they 1) are still up (they're running terrible, at least the Alexina one) and 2) how some can be unaffected by this. Based on people I've asked it seems to be linked to european players, which seems kinda odd since we play on the same servers and have great connections here (most of us).

    Anyhow, hope this gets fixed.

    So I asked some Tarlach European players and they claimed everything seems to be fine. Though this may not be an absolute as it's not the same server but hopefully it does narrow it down (oddly though I would have thought someone would have said something on Discord).
