Season 8 Lag & Hit Registration

What's with the severe lag on the servers since Season 8 launch? I'm having a terrible time with choppy frame rates and very poor hit recognition, eg, unloading an L-Star at close range and only cau...

Thanks for the response.Xbox Platform on an Xbox One.

I have made no changes to my network and all other devices and software continue to work unchanged, this is a direct result of installing Season 8.

It is possible, I suppose, that the heavily populated servers are causing the issue in part, but my resulting step change to a ridiculously low KDR is testament to something not being well.

London server showing 23-61ms ping 10% PL That’s ridiculous.

Usually I get under 30ms ping and 0% PL.

    @WeeWillyWinki3 Can you try going through the following with the change in ping and PL?

    • Basic and Advanced Connection Steps 
    • Static IP 
    • Change DNS Server (You can use the public google DNS primary: 8.8.8.8, secondary: 8.8.4.4, unless there is a different DNS you would rather use) 

    If you continue to see these issues would you be able to share a UOTrace (Requires PC)?

      Thanks for your response.

      I do not have access to a Pc, but is it not common knowledge that DNS servers have little to no effect on gaming latency?

      Whatever upstreams DNS I am using now, with the increased lag/ping issues, are the very same DNS that were used in Season 7, where there were much fewer issues.

        I should add, at this point, that the latency issues have reduced, perhaps due to a drop off in the initial interest of the Season 8 launch, but I'm getting a code:leaf disconnection at the end of every game and reconnecting to the lobby takes longer than usual.

        I don't know for sure, but it seems as though the servers are not up to the task when the demand is high.

        Perhaps an investment in more servers worldwide would improve the situation, but I appreciate that shareholders wouldn't be impressed with their "investment" being spent in this way.
