Conquer Club

Taking turns has been slow for me several days now, and the rest of the site seems to be somewhat sluggish as well. I'm talking about dicerolls or moving troops taking 10+ seconds where they normally seem to be almost instantaneous. Just tried clearing cookies, doesn't seem to have helped.

I am experiencing incredible lag at the moment. It is almost impossible to take my turns. The lag occurs everywhere including attacks, advancements, forts, jump to next game and forums. I am not experiencing any sign of lag on any other sites at the moment, just this one.

20.30 total bullshit lag in game winning turn lost 4mins he came back and cleared me with no chance of getting back into the game. sort your shit out if its not the fucking dice its the lag. so why only me with lag and not him
Game 12571776

i never actually "time out" but when my normal speed is 1-2 attacks per second, and it takes 5 seconds to reload on a refresh, with a brand new comp and modem... well, somethings wrong on the CC end... been real bad the last few weeks... and many other fs players echo my sentiments.. I usually play sometime between 7 and 10 p.m. EST on weekdays... are here and there on the weekend....

a complete and prolonged time out like that doesn't look like typical CC lag to me Codie... I could be wrong, but it looks like you've got some weird shit going on on your end combined with some site lag from here... comp, connection speed at heavy data use times, modem jammed up... cache... I'm no expert by any means, but I'd clear cache, history, etc and reboot your modem... might be none of these, as I think CC is having issues as well... but some of that may help if you havn't already done so...

Just had a few minutes of not being able to connect to the server

Same again for me now. Would not of minded so much but lost a large PM. This is now happening way to often.

Super slow for me at the moment. No issues accessing other websites.

I regularly time out when starting my turn, especially on speed games and certain maps like ToG and ODW.

Serious lag this morning - on two different machines in different internet connections.

Turns time out, communication link errors, and basic turns take minutes rather than seconds.

Programmers are working on it as I type

I'm assuming there have been updates or changes going on today with all the downtime?

I've been getting the '10 second' warning a lot lately. Not much help when you're playing 1 minute speed games....so I'm not doing that any more. By the time I get iot sorted, I've missed a turn or run out of time. Annoying!!

When taking my turn in 24hr games, I am getting the warning a lot too. Instead of refreshing the map (which often has no effect) I refresh the browser. It all takes time and detracts from the enjoyment.

Sometimes, there is no lag for one or two turns, then it returns again. It's very random....but persistent.

Horrible lag right now.

Does anyone in CC officialdom read this thread?
This is frustrating, and not what I paid good coin for.
Things looked okay....slow, but okay, so I tried a speed game 12860713.
Silly me!

Yes, we do read this thread. Can you give me some more details about the lag you're experiencing (what were you doing, what browser you're using, other programs running in the background, etc).

Cool.
The lag is always a time-out issue. I can't recall the message exactly, but it's along the lines of 'connection to the server is lost, restart in 10 seconds'.

I can attempt a restart, or refresh the map without anything happening, or with things happening verrrry slowly. To get around it in 24hr games (where I have an hour to take my turn) I simply refresh my page. Sometimes this also takes an age. I cannot really play speed games, because I 'time out' too often.

The event occurs more than once EVERY time I have taken a move in the last 4-5 days.

I'm running IE, just like 80% of the population did 5 years ago. I know their market share is now more like 15%, and there are better options out there, but it's the browser on my company-provided laptop.

I don't usually have much else running when I'm playing. I play after work (as opposed to instead of working:) ) and I may have my Outlook Explorer email open, but that's about all.

EDIT: Just returning to the Forum menu after posting this took almost a minute. I don't have this lag at any other site I visit.

Does this help?

Don't know if it's just me, but lag seems bad this morning. Mostly on forums, though; games seem unaffected.

I was working on cleaning some things up in the database, the lag should have been only on the forums, and not for more than 15-30 seconds at a time.

Yeah, that sounds about right.

10pm, Swedish time last night.

About ten minutes of:

"Attention
Conquer Club is experiencing technical difficulties (the continuum transfunctioner got stolen by the aliens). Please try again later."
followed by something along the lines of "Do not refresh this page, click this link to see if CC is back online"

Made a bug report last night before being directed here.

Goteborg, Sweden 10pm Monday 26th August
Vista, Firefox, BOB.

The last two days almost everyone of my games and turns has lagged. My PC is fine. Experiencing same issue when using iphone.

Laggy right now, and has been for a half hour or an hour.

Quite laggy here at the moment and has been for about a half hour...I have to generally refresh since it takes a bit of time to load.

Game has been barely playable for me this evening- its 8.30pm in London (GMT) Sunday 29th of September, i have 100mb broadband which seems to be working just fine. Keeps coming up with the cannot connect to host wait 10 seconds message.

Basically just extremely slow, on the point of not responding at all. I use firefox as my browser of choice. I have had to leave games midplay and rejoin in order to finish my move. No other programmes running in the background.
