having lag but no fps or ms increase(1)Category: Technical SupportMay-19-2013 11:24 PM PDT (10 years ago) Go to Blizzard forum post
I've been having this problem for awhile it seems now, but I'm farming and I'll be attacking in a mass of mobs and all of sudden my health starts dropping so I run away thinking I'm taking on to much, then I teleport back to a spot I was and then die. Its hard to tell if I'm lagging because everything is animated on screen including enemies attacking me. I can only really tell if it happens if I get teleported like that or if I notice a lack of tornadoes on screen from run like the wind / strange drops in health. I've been watching ms and fps while these "spikes" occur and there is no fluctuation. I'm at a loss.

I have FiOS quantum, ~82.73Mbp/s download 36Mbp/s up speed.

FortySixAnd2,

It's not your PC as far as I can tell. I can get it to happen as well when I'm fighting a very large number of monsters, many more than the designers probably intended for players to fight initially when the game came out. When I play with a Barb friend (I'm a CM Wiz) located in another city, not on my connection, he experiences it at the same time, indicating it's more than likely a threshold being reached somewhere server-side. I never see it happen under "normal" playing conditions and I always fight large groups but nothing like what you can do with the new density changes.

They're still working on tweaking the system for the rubber banding issues so we'll pretty much have to wait and see what happens.
