Did the patch fix the server lag?

I am still trying to download that new installer version they released, downloading at 1kbps, while other torrents using utorrent download at 1mbps. Does anyone know if last night's patch fixed the lag on the server or not? If not, what is happening? Was anything else broken?

I'm sorry but no patch will ever fix the server lag.. I been on and off in beta and all I can tell you is since first day its almost like they made just the engine and it was a naked empty world and since they they been building the game :S
SNIP
I was in block A, I was in when the world was empty. I agree not much as changed. I agree that they released an empty world where they would eventually start adding new content. Which is why the lag is here. It was laggy when it first came out, and now since they keep adding more and more content on top of a system that was laggy from the start, the lag will always be here, I understand your position.
I just want to know if this patch did anything, if it broke something, what it broke, etc.
It seems much more stable to me. I didn't lag at all today for the hour or so I was on. No delay in taking out my weapon or anything else. Seems like it worked.
Server has crashed repeatedly since patch. Currently down with no ETA on bringing it back up.

Judging from all the posts in the MO support forums, it broke a lot of peoples' spirit.
Played almost all day , had no lag at all , some minor spikes once in a while but nothing major , the server drops where as normal since they are working on the game.
That's all.
So some people saying it worked fine while other saying it broke the server? Which is right?
Both are right. When it's up, the lag is much better, if not gone, it still managed to crash though, which isn't new since the patch.
Just follow the official server thread I linked above...
My personal experience is around 10 minutes connected playing in the last 5 hours. Some people were apparently able to stay connected when most dropped and then the login server was down.. so for those people there was no lag... but just a fraction of the number of players were on. When I was actually in the lag was better.. still noticable but it was 2-3 sec lag instead of 10+ seconds. The town i was in also had maybe 15-20 people total.. as compared to last night when there was double or triple that.

Patch is still downloading, been over 24 hours since I started downloading initial installer 0 - 5 patch.
Got on for 20 minutes.. lag was good.. not sure how many were on. Then they took the server back down for a reboot... not sure on ETA

Server lag not computer lag. Server lag is "you do something and it happens 3 minutes later."
It was unplayable due to lag, now its unplayable due to crashes.
I win!!! LOL@U
Any info about that? I am still sitting here downloading the first patch after you install the game. Downloading at 1kbps the entire day.

No info other than Im not alone, check the IRC rage.
You need to do some portforwarding if your downloads that slow. You'll still have another 1.8GB and 256MB to go after that.
All the crashings keeping the population down, so who knows if they really did fix the lag. We'll see once NA prime gets rolling shortly.

Some people are able to get on... some are not from what I'm reading and seeing.
I've managed to connect, but am still at work so can't fully test the game.

DMZ is enabled as I run torrents also. They go at full speed of my net (1mbps) all the ports are open for mortal its just really slow I guess.
Worst part is, if you crash you have to get past the launcher again. Its been throwing "Time Outs" and "Scan Errors" all day. So now people are opening numerous launchers in hopes one will work, making the issue that much worse.
Good times.

Do this :

I did a fresh install to fix the "missing books" issue and hoped to fix all the nowgame.exe
Only took 2-3 hours.

Trust me...I've got 2 posts! And I like exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's better to lurk in forums and be thought a fool...than to endlessly "Quote" and remove all doubts.
So I have to uninstall and reinstall the entire game again?
