Is anyone else having waves of 10 second lag spikes where the client just goes completely unresponsive? Or is this just my issue? :(

I cleared cache and relogged. That didnt help. I set my network bandwidth down to 400. That didnt help. I defragged my disk. That helped at first, but then the problem returned. Maybe unrelated.


I checked Windows Task Manager / Performance to see if my system was cpu or memory bound. I saw no problems there.

I started Windows System Monitor with diskperf to monitor my disk performance. I wanted to see if my system was becoming disk bound. I saw no problems there, but the lag spikes seem to have abated.

I dunno why it happened and I dunno why it went.

I've had this problem too, it comes and goes. Happened a lot today. Sometimes I go a week or more and everything's fine, then it happens again. Today I was on my sim on one of the new SE islands that is not very busy at all.

I'm getting a new computer in a few days, hopefully that will end it...

What shows up in DEBUG ---> FAST TIMERS when this happens? (Ctrl-Alt-D for DEBUG menu if anyone who's reading this doesn't already have it activated.) Even if it stalls it should register some pretty large numbers and bars.

Fast Timers stops scrolling, then when it comes back there are large, LARGE bars for the "World Update|Reserve" process. I don't know what this means, but it's been frustrating me all day :(

The WHOLE CLIENT locks up for 10-15 seconds, including Fast Timers :(

That's alright if you don't know what it means--I don't know what some of FAST TIMERS means either, but it's good grounds to take a picture of it and HELP menu ---> REPORT BUG. Quality Assurance can figure it out further, especially when patterns emerge. Who else is having this problem? Please recount your experiences and send a bug report too.
