Ability/Loot Lag on North American Servers Despite Normal Latency

Uh.

Whatever the issue might have been them nine months back (or really three years ago when this thread was originally created), would not be the case now with so many hotfixes and patches since. This is why necros are frowned upon.

If you’re having an issue, it’s best to open a new thread of your own with the information asked for in their sticky, along with any relevant diagnostic files. It’s always best to just leave dead things dead if they’re anything older than a week or two - let alone the better part of a year. You give no information, only scorn. So it would be difficult for folks to help diagnose your issue and provide assistance.

In Goldenrod’s defense, the issue this thread’s been going on about was the same issue that was kicking around over 3 years ago, unfixed. However, it does seem to have been fixed in the last couple of months (well, it’s the first time I haven’t experienced it since about 2018). So, thanks for finally fixing it Blizz, would love to learn more about what changed!

But yea, high apparent latency numbers like you’re reporting Goldenrod are actually unrelated to this thread, which was about low apparent latency (game reporting <40ms) but users experiencing massive actual lag.

It might seem the same, but similarity doesn’t equal the same root cause. That is why they ask that we not necro dead threads.
