New house ban mechanic

[Blair]

Today we've changed how the mechanic works when you are banned from a house. You no longer get sent to the leave house tile when walking onto a house you are banned from. Instead you can't walk onto the house at all, it will act like like you are trying to walk over a foot stool or empty keg (give you a visual rubber band effect).

We've also changed the way the server handles resynchronize commands from Sallos. This should be much better for high ping Sallos users.

Will that fix @Baby Blue's woes?

Well done. Next step, move the duel pits off water on to land.

It should yes. I appreciate his, and all the other higher ping players, patience while we sorted out the issue.

The update seems to have fixed the resync problem for me, very much appreciated. To tell you the truth, I would probably have already quit over the issue if I wasn't so addicted to the game.

Thank you. I didn't have any problems with my clients, but my friends like Jani and Manolo were having and I haven't really been able to play with them cause of that. Now it will change. Thank you staff!

Don't lie you just like me too much and can't leave.

@Blair

Does it being on water cause problems?

Yeah it's pretty laggy. I seem to notice a lot more resyncs there too but I haven't dueled since the fix.

I'd like to know this answer as well.

Hell yea, now running into houses while flagged doesn't disintegrate my client.

So after few days of playing I can tell something has happened. A lot of Euros are feeling them self "laggy". Most of these players use Razor/Steam. Some low pinger Americans said the same. For me it looks like I am losing a tile one per screen, even tho I got told by Blair I don't lose any. Some sallos users see them self or others to lockstep even they don't have that option on. Many complain pots missing a lot more than used to. If there is multiple players on my screen the more tiles I lose. I have tried with/without VPN and with diff routes. Nothing seems to help. I logged on a few other UO servers and didn't have this problem. My connection speed is still the same as 2 days ago, so nothing has changed to that either. Yesterday did few recordings with Blair and showed to him how it looks like for me to run in straight lines.

Please, can we do some kind of a test of turning things back how they were and see if that fixes immediately our problem? I know your change should had not caused the problems I have shown/described but I can not find any other reason why this is happening to us rather than the resync bug fix change. For me this is so annoying that I really don't want to PvP until I can run like I used to. Sticking to PvM until then.

If I can help with anything, please let me know. I am willing to spend some time to figure this out and help the staff. Just ask and you shall receive.

Me @K A Z and @manolo expirenced some strange shit last night too thou ive not played today to see if its any better but every time we threw a pot we ended up with like a 500ms delay before the pot animation was actually thrown. I assumed it was me but i was in call with these 2 at same time and we all had same problem.

it could of just been last night thou ive not tried again since i wll post again if it continues.

I've noticed more spikes in latency, but it seems like it affects everyone and not just me. My ping is normally around 35, just like it is on most other servers.

Not sure if it's related to recent changes or what, but every few screens I got a small latency spike and it looks like it's happening to other people at the same time.
