My best evaluation of the variables regarding LAG
Steps to remedy:
- Restart before PC game (Doesn't Help anymore)
- switch to wired connection and ensure connection is free and not backed up (Helps, but barely)
- Defragment PS3 (People claim it aids in better performance, but it is minimal at best)
- Delete Dust514 Save file (Doesn't Help)
- Reinstall Dust514 (Doesn't Help)
- Do a rain dance in your backyard wearing nothing but a loincloth in the dead of winter (Testing to be completed soon, Results TBD)
- Hard reset of PS3 when already deployed in warbarge (Shown to be effective, further testing required)
Potential Causes:
- Equipment Spam (Rampant in PC, if you dont spam you dont win)
- EVE Support (Have noticed more Lag in games where either side has EVE support)
- Explosive Spam (Rampant in PC, if you dont spam you dont win)
- Having a mix of EU/NA/Asia server players
- Transitioning between city and outside objectives (When in a PC and you continuously move in and out of the city area it will cause game breaking lag coupled with almost immediate framerate drop - the only duplicatable bug that I have personally tested)
Everyone else should add their experiences if CCP really wants information, but you know what? This issue has been present for months and months and months and months, even from the start of Uprising 1.0
Please, Fix PC, optimize it somehow. It is Dust's End Game and its amazing; Fighting organized teams running their best gear is the most fun I've played in Dust EVER, if CCP can optimize it I will never play Pubs again.
Figuring out how to improve my own PC performance is absolutely frustrating and nausea inducing because there is no possible way to account or correct a variable like LAG. If I lose because I suck; thats fine, I'll work harder to get better but If I lose because as soon as I turn a corner to face someone and I freeze for a whole second, only for the game to continue working after I've seen the death screen is stupid.
Please, I'm begging you CCP; Dedicate some more man power to this issue if you haven't already and communicate with us more. What are you going to do when all the competitive corps in Dust stop playing PC because of this bullshit? We've already seen so many big and small corps fall because of this bullshit.
