Curious, not saying its your fault but did you have the game installed on Nvme/ssd? On a standard HDD even with high r/w speeds the game is borderline unplayable.

Also free fly weekends are when the game is at its worst, the servers are bought to its knees.

Again, no fault to the player and its completely on CIG but its a shame that a lot of players never get to see the game in its best light because free fly is a nightmare.

I might be missing something - are you suggesting that the elevator blasted me through a wall and broke my legs because I installed the game to a hard drive? I can't remember what sort of drive I installed it to, it wasn't installed for very long.
Yes youre missihg something, SC on slower disks (even ssds) sucks it needs to be on an NvME drive for best performance

It fails to load geomoetry on slower disks sometimes, i.e. insides of an elevtator which causes the player to clip through and the game tries to compenstate and cause funky reactions.

How has ejecting through a wall got anything to do with server load??

And what has that got to do with server load?
