There are no server load or network issues on our end. Bad routes in your region, probably.

Define "bad route". Does getting a faster connection solve it?

Generally, it means that there's significant lag somewhere in between you and the HV servers. It doesn't matter how fast your computer/local connection is if there's a DDoS or network outages going on that are forcing your packets to take long detours.

Oversimplified? Maybe. Good enough? I like to think so.

I was just about to ask if there was any other way to overcome/bypass the problem, but you've answered it, basically. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Which region is Ehentai/Hverse server based in? (Pretty sure it's UK/somewhere Europe)

And by any chance, is anyone else who replied here playing from the Asian/Australian regions?
I thought I was the only one having this problem until I read all your posts. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) It takes 3~5 seconds a turn even though I'm the only one (I think) using the line in this apartment, no torrents/programs up and max 2 windows open while playing HV (The ehentai main page & the HV game itself). I have reset my router a few times already with a 30 min waiting period in between resets. Recently the lag has been going on and off during the day and sometimes at night too, it's already caused me to fail riddlemaster quite a few times...Stamina loss because img won't load/load too slow is really rage-inducing (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

small rant :

Spoiler text - Highlight to read...

Slugging through ALL the arenas up to the Trio & the Tree took me a total of 6 hours, to top it off the freaking Riddlemaster repeatedly kicked me in the balls and made me lose a crapload of STA just because the answers didn't show up fast enough/page load error...Whoever thought it was a good idea to put CAPTCHA-like systems in their games? Jagex implements this system, and that still doesn't stop a whole bunch of botters doing their thing (albeit restricted to activities which characters don't move around much/use alot of inventory clicking eg. Magic skill grinding near a bank with alchemy) >:(

I guess I'll stop fighting in anything other than Random Encounters now, will just go back to other games (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

UPDATE : just reloaded page while typing and saw these posts

@destructorspace
Thanks for explaining it properly (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yes.

Still experiencing lag (from bad to horrible) with a few precious moments of smooth playing ... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Not finding any news about any DDoS attacks or network problems.

Oceania region for me here.

Ping times used to be around the ~300ms mark; they're now around the ~400ms mark, and depending on time of day, going up to ~700ms.

A 33% increase in latency is horrible enough - and it will not matter what font engine you're using, how much caching you're doing, how fast your PC and the connection is - it's just dreadfully slow.

Quote from the article :
Once again an undersea cable has been cut — the South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 4 (aka SEA-ME-WE 4) cable and that is causing an internet (and communications) slowdown in and around Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia. The cut was said to be near Alexandria in Egypt.

Normally in online MMOs, Australia is grouped together with Southeast Asia (SEA) for nation/region-locked servers so I guess this is also relevant to your situation if what the article stated is true

(IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I'm not sure how that will help?! At least I got a good laugh out of it...
A pity I don't have the funds to donate atm. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)


The only news that was reported in my country was related to this, but that was already a few weeks back.

If it some game client which downloads all information needed right before the battle series starts and at the battle end it sends the data to the server.

People would so cheat here so only Catgirls would be able to get it because no one would risk a ban on a 1000$ Account. Also Tenb can look closer if it are just a few clients.

Oh neat, something similar happened to the Spamhaus subforum that we had here one time.

The servers are hosted in Netherlands, I think.

As for bad routing, there are 2 ways to go about it. 1 is complain to your ISP until they change the route for you (never gonna happen) or route your traffic through a proxy. If you have fast and reliable connection to 1 country, like the US, you can use a proxy to play HV (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Dear E-Hentai,

I owe you an apology. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Goodness, make the game unlaggy already.

now i feel the same thing (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

suddenly HV become so slow (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)

A bitter slow for few times.
But HV is fast in most situation

Ugh, getting a lot of lag and 503's right now, and usually my connection is very fast. I can't play it when it gets like this, but it happens every so often I guess...

Yeah got 503'd 10 minutes ago here too. A bit sluggish but still playable here.

I've been experiencing lag for over a week now. Sometimes it takes 2-3 secs to load the page but sometimes it takes as long as 7 secs and in rare ocassions, like today, lag made riddlemaster cost me 1 stamina. Is the server under attack?
