| How to Fix Your Latency Lag in Aion |
If you're one of many who've lagged horrifically since Closed Beta 5, chances are the problem will not be solved anytime soon. The problem is that certain ISPs have routing issues when attempting to reach NCSoft's servers. This causes massive packet loss on certain hops and terrible lag almost 100% of the time. As one of these people, once CB6 appeared to be no better, I searched for a solution! It seemed simple enough, if the issue is my connection's path, I needed a new path. So, upon some Googling, I found Gamepath. Even if your latency lag isn't unplayable, I still think this is worth testing if you have any high latency at all. If you have like 1/2 second delays whenever you do anything in the game, this can fix that by finding the best gateway for you to use to reach NCSoft's servers. I wrote detailed step-by-step instructions on how to get this working properly. I suggest taking a look at them, as I played for about 12 hours thinking it was working and it wasn't. Once the lag picked up again and I thought I wasted $6, I realized I screwed up installing it lol. After I fixed the issue the lag went away and I was overcome with joy!! Also, there should be no worry about getting in trouble for using this software. Ayase (community rep) suggested doing just this and seeing if it fixed the lag. And all of the programs used are clean and malware/spyware free. |
