Lag Spikes Worse Than Ever

It got fixed about a month ago but now its worse than it was.
Hope you guys can fix this otherwise I cannot play.
Nothing like shooting 82 pt alphas in my new Atlas S and getting no damage for most of the game and ending with 80 pts total damage or 200 pts total damage and team kills cause I soft locked and my teammates walked in front of me while I fired and killed them yet saw the enemy.
Please fix this now!

I haven't heard of any other complaints like this and it sounds very much like the AVAST issue where it will periodically freeze up almost like clockwork
Take a look?

Stuff like this like can be virus programs, router issues or hardware going out.

I do not use Avast.
This did not happen two weeks ago, it did not happen one week ago. It happens now and makes the game very unplayable. Like I said, not the only one that saw this happen.

And it appeared on the PGI side as the problem, I am getting thru put to servers all over the world with very good service. Both downloading and uploading and moving masses of data both ways.
I have had this soft lock issue multiple times and every single time it has been a code issue for MWO. Please fix this.
Thanks,
Chris

The blame for this however, is firmly on Mulcolm Turnbull and Tony Abbott, for giving Australia the shittest Internet there has ever been.

They tried to optimize the server load a few times now. If it is happening to more than one person doing a match i would guess some backbone is having a problem. If it happens to everyone like we were seeing with the desync i would guess server problems.
Really the only way i could see them fixing this is moving the server again to maybe the U.S.
About the only thing you can do it try a vpn connection($$$) or play during the morning/late night. Slower mechs with less weapons "might" help like say a dual gauss jag or atlas without lrms. This should decrease the bandwidth on your side.

Yes laptop overheats too easily if it isn't an Alienware (cos Alienwares have those HUGE vents).

Still getting issues, have had these issues off and on whole time I played mwo, they put a fix in, it goes away, then they do a patch or two and it comes back.
Still having issues, srms not causing damage again. Fired almost 200 srms in a match, all within 200 meters, none registered a hit or damage on Atlas facing me and not torso twisting, I only registered 28 damage for match. It was a joke and is making playing MWO impossible at this point.
Played 3 weeks ago no problem avg 500+ damage every game with all but lights. 800+ with assaults. Now I am avg 28-150 because I am lagging out and my damage and hits are not registering.
It must be my fault since I had no problem last week, running it exactly the same way. system is defragged and checked for virus' every night. Directly plugged into modem with 100/10 speed. I have checked and I can download 3gb games in minutes and movies in minutes. Yet playing MWO since they moved their servers I went from sub 50 ping to now near 100 ping and have soft lock issues.
I do not use Avast, system runs cool and quiet and was built 6 months ago by me. No other computers on network, modem and router and encrypted and checked for freeloaders every day.
Sorry PGI, cannot play for now. Sucks since I just bought clan wave 2, got my new Atlas S and Centurion and havn't been able to grind up my atlas cause more than 3/4 of my games are worthless as I get soft locked and then finally come out of it and I am by myself in the middle of nowhere getting killed by lights or lrm'd to death as my team ran away from me and even when I do fire most of my shots do not register. Nothing like using seismic, sneaking up on another Atlas in the back and shooting an 82 point alpha and having 50 pts not register as srms do not cause damage. Shoot again before he turns, same thing. He then cores me while I do only 20 -30 as my srms are useless and do not cause him any damage and he sticks me then kills me. This has happened 2-3 times in last two days. Score less than 200 damage when I know I should have had 500-800.
Sad, very sad.
