Warp / Instant Warp still working properly ?

Hy, since the patch yesterday I have a lot of issues with initiating warp as usual, it tends to lag or freeze for no apparent reason.

Usually, when getting close to armor or hull (depending on the fit) I align and get speed up to get a few more rounds off before warping to kill that one more ship (you know, how it is). Hitting war instantly catapulted me into the warp tunnel. Now, not so much.

A lot of times now, i got stuck with nothing happened, saying 'warping' without moving but taking damage, this last up to 10 seconds now. Went into middle hull 2 times by now because of this.

I pre aligned, speed to maximum, even the ab running, canceling ab, hitting warp just before the ab cycle ends, which gets me way over the 75%. Then traveling speed drops to 0 (ship movement) though the speed meter says warping and nothing happens. Second time I was even webbed, which should help even further.

Yet I am stuck in space and for 10 seconds nothing happens, then I slowly accelerate, not even getting the warp tunnel right away.

Something is really off.

Anybody else notice this ?

I haven't noticed this..... but I'm not sure I've tried it since the patch...

One thing I know from my experiences bombing (which ideally you pre-align to a warp out point, decloak, bomb, and insta-warp), is that some Align points do not match the warp to points. This is especially true for planets, and exacerbated when the planet is close (<2 au)! I don't know if this is the cause of your issue, but it is something to be aware of!

I don not think it is the case, since no directional adjustment takes place. The ship just halts and nothing happens at all, like being stuck, it does neither drift of course, stays transfixed and with all signs on 'go', but nothing actually 'going'.

And then after felt 10 seconds and checking if everything is as should be or one forgot to click one or the other or being suddenly scrammed, and then staring at the ship - might just be 6 seconds, but long enough to make the last 15% armor and taking 50% hull damage (and not instant either, that after armor tanking for about 5-10 minutes), it starts slowly up.

Warping to station btw.. and from gate to 0 happens rather quick, so i guess its not the station, more the out of combat while pre aligned and actually prepared.

I don't have that issue by just flying somewhere and hitting warp, then auto align and warp as soon as 75% are reached, seems to be the usual time frame.

On another note, I got a light, fast frigate fitted to travel to jita and had some spare inertia stabilizers installed just as an extra and the ship aligned very much slower then it should have.

All + turned to - ?

I noticed anything after oddessy. But there has always been something that occassionally will make ships take a long time to warp. Its not due to bumping into anything either. When you get this bug you may want to try to stop your ship and start the warp again.


Also before odessy was occassionally getting a message something like the warp drive was unable to lock on the object I was trying to warp to. I am not sure what that meant.

Been doing a few more dry test, it seems to work properly with he ships I just had out now, so it might be a Navy Drake only issue or related to being in combat and taking damage, both cases present during past occurrences. - Gonna check it out further.

I saw similar behavior yesterday. It sounds like a latency issue, you click Warp, your client updates your status with Warping to ... , but by the time the command goes to the server and comes back a noticeable amount of time passes.

It was probably due to their network being overloaded with people downloading. I know the web services were slow yesterday as well.
