EVE General Discussion

I too have the same issue.

I've had it on modules. My strip miners seem to be fine though. There have been delays in the last few days on the time it takes from when the cycle ends to when the ore actually shows up in the cargo hold.

I'm surprised to even see a thread about this. This has been a common occurrence for years, now, and it only became much more common after they included a "fix" for it in a patch (I find many of these issues never happen to me at all until someone mentions fixing it in patch notes).

Here's a fun scavenger hunt for you: let me know when one of your modules like a microwarpdrive becomes stuck in the "on" mode and can't be toggled off. That's been going on too.

I've had this as well, it's not particularly a major issue but a bit odd.

confirming problem exists and not just in the last 24hrs

This is likely due to the server being on a 1 second cycle, mix lag in with that, and the server needing to respond that "yes you did just activate that module". Once that gets done your client likely interpolates the current accurate location of your cycle and starts it there.

The client could instead assume that when you click the button that the server will start the cycle there and just start showing the animation right away.... however it will need to correct it when the actual information comes back from the server. A 1 second internal cycle would make such interpolation not a very pretty sight.

In other-words, what your seeing is likely more accurate than what your asking for. So if I'm correct about the above, then I would rather have things stay the way they are then attempt to visually compensate for it.

I thinknit has to do with different boni you get from fleet and other boosters...

It seam to be coupled to your ping time.

Covert Kitty is correct. The situation is caused by server running on 1s tics coupled with your connection latency.

Let me describe the situation on an example. You activate module X with 3s cycle time and effect delivered at the end of the cycle. You expect that you will see cycle start right when you activate the module and effect delivered 3s later.

What actually happens is this: Your client sends information to the server that module X was activated. It takes some time for information to reach the server (latency). Server then sends back confirmation of module activation. So the client may get confirmation about module being started after 1s+latency after real activation.

Server knows your cycle time so he adds cycle time to your module and determines in which next tic should the effect be applied. When that moment comes it applies the effect and sends notification to your client. it again takes some time for the information to arrive to you.

So in worst case scenario you will get 1s+2x latency lag between your action and real response (assuming no server overload).

In the end the cycle timer has to be out of sync with effects.

yes. the same is here.

Looks like it is only animation. Cycle time isn't affected. However this is very annoyng...
