Sim ping times cycling EVERYWHERE

Still not sure it's a bug. If it is how do I reproduce it - I stand still after logging on. It doesn't make for good data for you.

The other day I mentioned something similar here and Torley gave me a plausible answer. Since then I've noticed the same behaviour in ever sim (which makes me suspect it's NOT a physics problem). I'm not getting silly times anywhere I can see, but the ping times, usually ping user, sometimes ping sim, sometimes both, cycle from their usally 200-ish to 1600ms for a few seconds. Client fps plummet.

Over the last 20 minutes or so I've not moved at all. No one's moved in this sim and my fps have varied from 0.1 to 15 in pretty tight sync with the ping times.

Yesterday it did it in three other sims. Earlier today for a shorter time in two others that I noticed.

This has only been since the last update too.

What route gives me a totally different picture - nice tight pings around the 180ms mark, with a bit of drift to 300ms as shown...


EDIT: Something's changed, and not at my end - things are pretty much back to normal

Thankyou Eloise for sharing this... I'll keep an eye out if I hear any similar reports.
