Extremely high ping and lag within my game?

[noxyra]

Hello! I recently released a Simulator called Mushroom Magnet Simulator. Everything was fine for awhile but now people who play the game experience high ping (1,000+ MS) and also lag/delay.

I am not sure why this is happening, but I did notice this in console, which looked weird.

9,000 seems a bit high for this, all the other ones are very low, like 14-30. Could this be some type of memory leak or something?

When testing in studio, ping is completely fine, but memory usage is extremely high.

Any help is appreciated.

Probably some network overloading
There’s a limit to how many messages can be sent between the clients and server, anything that goes past the limit will get queued up which is what increases latency time

Hello developers! You may have read one of my old articles on this topic with a similar title: Network Optimization - Preventing High Latency & Reducing Lag - Resources / Community Tutorials - DevForum | Roblox This is my rebooted version of that now fairly out of date article. Over time, the way Roblox has transmitted remotes has changed quite a bit, and, works wildly differently than it used to. Because of this, most of the content in my old article is no longer accurate.

Just wanted to see if my problem was similar to yours in any way. Just recently started happening to me again

Yup, I’ve been seeing this for a week or so. I saw ping times >100,00ms a times on load. Something is wrong with the platform, not your experiences.
