Sins Forums
Hey gang,
We've tried something new on the server-side with ICO. So far it appears to be helping, but it's hard to tell. If you can please hop on and let us know how it feels. Please post back with the number of players who were online and in your game at the time you tested.
Thanks!
I tried playing a game on vanilla... and it was really really laggy, and definatly ico based.
*shrug*
I play vanilla Sins and have noticed over the past two weeks that ICO lag is very bad. Just logging into ICO can take up to 10 minutes. Then setting up a game is a hit and miss affair.
Any chance that this will be looked into in the short term or shall I put Sins on the back burner for a little while until this is cleared up?
easy answer: upgrade to diplomacy.
another answer: wait for rebellion.
I thought the entrench/vanilla server was recently restarted... maybe we all need to bug the devs again.
ICO player counts are up into the 80's now. I think people are coming back on board, and I think the fix in ICO lag is what is convincing them to stay. Well done Yarlen!
That or it was the $10 trinity sale this weekend...
Though if things are really a lot better, perhaps I should actually play a game of Diplomacy online just to say I've done it. 
I did a few days back and was pleasantly surprised! My buddy and I played a 2 vs AI and it was awesome! we saw something like 63 players or so online?
Been a keen Sins player for years now and regularly view this forum. My issue with lag has been minimal so far with the exception of yesterday. Both my friend and I usually play against the AI and we used Entrenchment. After deciding to get Diplomacy our first game was marred with awful lag from the beginning. Weird as I heard Diplomacy reduced the lag 
That is weird because the lag on Diplomacy has been much reduced ever since the patch came out.
Yes, happened again when I played on a 2v1 map. Tried a third time and it was fine. Odd. Whatever happened it fixed itself.
