Lag to the max

[Potato is me]

I know that lag has been a prevalent problem but this time it is so bad that i have to stop my farming routine and take a break from this game...
As a fortunate player, I dare to say that in these 7 months of gameplay after coming back from my break from this game, i have never gotten red ping before, even if i did, it is quickly resolved just by refreshing my wi fi on maybe 1 or 2 occasions which is negligible. However, this few days were real bad, inside km3, i couldnt even see the mobs appear on my screen and sometimes before i know it, i am dead. Please fix this lag problem

What you may be referring to is a drop in framerate.

I believe they mean Lag as in WiFi lag.

As for the lagging, sometimes, lag can be cause by too many requests for the server to handle, so the server starts adding requests into a queue, and processes them in the order they are received. Hence, ping rises because the request takes longer to be processed by the STS server(s).

Another possible reason for the lag may be the distance between your device and the servers (this is sort of beyond your control, unless you move closer to the servers)

Zylx created a Lag log earlier HERE (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?264773-%26%239733%3B-Lag-Log-%26%239733%3B-If-you-re-currently-experiencing-lag-issues-click-here!)

Post there, and I hope one day the devs will look into a way of resolving the lag.

Also I've written this a while back explaining the causes of lag, and possible solutions on fixing it: HERE (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?271222-Troubleshooting-A-Guide-to-aid-WiFi-connectivity-issues)
