Whenever I login I have around 40 to 50 % lag minimum not once but every time I login and lag drastically reduce to 10% as soon as I land on a base and also my general ping is 100 to 250 but im getting around 800 these days

Anyone else having these problems ??

I don't know how more than half server having lag over 10% is decent.

Im not an expert but you are saying this might be a server problem ??

[Johl45]

Wow this is strange almost everyone having 30 % lag some even touching 90% now im sure this is problem from server side not my side phew...

It's not you, it's server. I have around 10-12% lag, however, I have a new router and new other online games, like Warthunder, runs pretty smoothy, also internet TV works well. So, it's server's fault, not your

server is being attacked. I have heard it is a DDOS attack. Ask an admin/dev

Yes, well....
DDOS attacks can be halted by good server protections.
By good I mean ones that cost money.
I was an admin on a US based game server that sat snugly behind triplicate firewalls and would not allow unauthenticated access, even just a host query.
And with 500+ users and numerous DDOS attacks never once so much as coughed or stuttered.
But the server blade and the firewall cost approx $110 USD/month.

Long winded way of saying "donate or deal with it."

One interesting thing is that it's not a purely bandwidth-based DoS we've been under, but rather an exploit in the underlying DirectPlay connection handler -- something that isn't even Freelancer's fault -- that's being, well, exploited. It's not a high-bandwidth attack, but because it denies users service, it is still by definition a denial of service attack.
