So i have this issue for a couple of days now. When I join a server, sometimes when its downloading skins/mods it loads super slow, or it even times out. But when Im on the server, I have no problem whatsoever with lag or anything. Also ive been told my ping is fine. Its just downloading skins and mods can sometimes take forever, like its stuck or something. Its not always tho, sometimes it just loads quickly, like normal. But alot of the times it goes super slow. It also happens when Im already in the server, I can see on the top right that its downloading a mod, but after a while it times out, while im still in the server having no connection issues with other players. Its the same with the website, for some reason it sometimes is super slow. Like even when trying to create this thread, it even took time to load the icons above the textfield (Bold/italic/picture/smilies/etc.).

Why is this? Am I the only one having this problem with (seemingly) the LFS servers?


the website:



modlist ingame:



during online session:

Known issue with no solution yet sadly.

There's an experimental option in the newest test patch (https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/102117), it would be good for Scawen to hear from as many people who suffer this problem as possible.

It's not really a known issue for people in the Netherlands? Previous reports of such issue have been in Australia, China, India for example, and sometimes more surprisingly in Eastern Europe. But Marty's case is the first I have heard of, on a good connection in the Netherlands which is where the servers are located.

I'm not a networking expert but would a tracert bring any useful information?

(run cmd, then type tracert lfs.net)

For me, I get 9 hops and the 8th one times out (I don't know what that means). But my access to LFS is fast.

For whatever it's worth, it loads very quick over here.

Quote from Scawen :

(run cmd, then type tracert lfs.net)

I get 3 request timed out (4, 5 and 9) of 10 hops. Ping delay is normal.

Loading images is also noticeable slow (slowly vertical revealing), but not too slow... I haven't measured speeds.

i ran the tracert thing, no idea what im doing but here it is:

update: Last days/weeks i didnt have any problems anymore. Once i got a patch it still occurs but then for some reason it seemed to have fixed itself.

Yep i have this problem aswell.. Slow loading website and all.....

same for me, 20 hops with some failures between.

The website and mods do load slower than asual.
Also the sending insim commands to the server is slow sometimes.
