I've had this problem ever since the 1.3 update. I keep trying to log on every few days to see if Notch has fixed it, but so far no joy.
Interesting note: I can log on to my account and server from other computers without the glitches happening, even though one of them has horrible connection speed and the fps goes down the tubes.
It's gotten really very bad.
To the point where I can't simply wait for it to stop.
Three minutes before anything registers on the server is just unplayable.
Oddly enough, I believe it to be only uploading to the server, I seem to get messages from others straight away.
That said, it could simply be coincidence.
But, If it continues to act up I'll not be able to continue playing (and Administrating, at least in game), which is a major bother.
I have these problems I bought the game yesterday and I try to join a server but when I do I go really slow I can play but its slow. I then try to get resourses and it takes minutes for them to actually be put into my inventory. When I talk they don't get my messages for a few minutes but theirs come instantly. I like single player but its not always fun to play by yourself. IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Getting the same server lag problems as well as a really crappy FPS. I really never had this problem before, I hope a solution comes soon :sad.gif:
I also read ThatCanadianGuy's guide, and it didn't help my FPS at all. Except for maybe Optimine which boosted it up by 5 fps max.
Bump so Notch can read this...I didn't think the thread would still be alive when I got back from New York.
I guess we're all hoping this can be fixed.
That said, where do official bug reports go to now?
As far as I know Get satisfaction is no longer being looked at.
I got the problem again, though it was only about two seconds of delay this time (I've seen it up to 25 seconds, but others here have gotten worse). I just replaced some redstone torches and voila, fixed. It seems to be a recurring issue with them, but can be resolved in a case by case basis until a fix comes around. (others in the server experience the same issue when they are near the broken redstone torches as well) I'm surprised no one has responded or tried my solution yet despite my two posts. There may be other causes or other lag issues, but this so far has consistently fixed the problem as described by the original post, so I think it's the same thing.
(again, this isn't a network lag issue [50ms ping] or a performance lag issue [100+fps].. things are just delayed)
Wish I hadn't completely missed your posts...
You're right.
Removing Redstone torches clears up the lag almost completely.
Luckily I'd only just begun wiring in my town, and only had two so far...
I performed some tests with the wonderful SysOp of my server, at one point it looked to be a problem with the version of Bukkit.
However, it wasn't the case after a few more tests, and the culprit is most definitely Redstone torches.
This will at least allow me to play in my own town, though I can't exactly impose a server wide ban on RS torches. (They'd probably actually expect that from me, though. :tongue.gif: )
I have to thank you for discovering that, you've saved my ass.
Still, this remains a large issue, given that Redstone is a fundamental part in at least my own playing of the game (My character is a damned electrician!).
I recommend everyone tries this, remove RS Torches or navigate to a place empty of them, and see if it is the problem across the board.
If so, that will make it a lot easier to get it fixed.
EDIT: Upon further play (will teach me to post two minutes after finding a 'fix', it appears it doesn't remove it completely. I still get rather bad random lag, and it doesn't appear to be Redstone related at all, as I removed all Redstone items. Still, it did seem to help marginally.
Poop.
Same issues here with the lag, and 99% of the map not loading. The Server i'm on just started up a brand new map yesterday, and its still there. Along with there being no redstone wiring :tongue.gif: Have updated and made sure everything was up to date on my end.
Same problems here.. I run the server on my computer, no problems in game myself, but others are having the exact lag described. We're at most 3 folks on the server, two with lag, and me.

Where = Me, Still falling.....
Even with animals and monsters off, I am now receiving lag as well.
The dream didn't last very long!
MINECRAFT MUST HAVE GLASS STAIRCASES!

If enough people complain, it should be fixed, right?
Because Author of Thread says to post here problems
so he can know how many people have same problem with lag

This thread won't die on my watch, or atleast not untill the problems are fixed...
Everything was perfectly fine until 1.3 :/
I hope notch is aware, and takes a look at it.
