Hello guys!
We had two Test PC matches today at 17:10 Eve Time and 20:40 Eve Time.
I'm calling them "Test PC" because we're going to test various configurations in order to make possible to find a solution to PC lag/framerate issues and we'll try to film everything.
The first one is a mixed PC, so we'll fight against people from all over the world, the second one is local, italians vs italians (just to find out if all those things happens because of lag issues)
Testing results are underlined for each test
- Getting into PC with mics turned off, except a control group of 4. Another control group of 2 will turn the game sounds/music/Graphics down in the options menu.
Game was pretty fine, a bit laggy for some but pretty fine. Control group: nothing different.
- All mics on.
Some lag spikes as soon as everyone turned their miss on, game starts to get a bit more laggy, still enjoyable.
- All mics off.
- Calling in the max number of vehicles.
Lag starts to be noticeable, playable for some, lag spikes bad framerate for others
- Recall vehicles
- Spamming explosives (mass drivers, remotes, grenades)
Nothing changed, some lag / mass driver bug
- Mix Explosives with all mics on.
Same
- Mix Explosives with all mics on and vehicles.
Some lag spikes when getting close to vehicles for some
- Recall vehicles / all mics off.
Everything turns normal
- Equipment spam (outside sockets)
Tested but not filmed / no changes in gameplay
- Equipment spam (inside sockets)
lag spikes - games start to be really laggy. Could be still playable, but would give great disadvantages
- Equipment spam and all mics on
Unplayable, lag spikes, teleport and all the issues you'd expect by a PC match
- Equipment spam, all mics on and explosives.
still unplayable - some crash
- Equipment spam, all mics on, explosives and vehicles.
not tested / unable to play at all
- Destroyed every kind of equipment
slowly turning back to normality
- All mics off
Everything normal
- Equipment spam (not exactly on a certain point) and all miss off
Some lag but still playable and pretty good
- Equipment spam (not exactly on a certain point) all mics on
More lag and framerate issues but still playable
Control group haven't noticed anything worse / better, so probably it's not because of sound issues.
- For what concerns the second PC fight, we didn't have any kind of issue. Some framerate spike, but nothing game breaking. It was EU vs EU and we were all exactly from the same region.
Only one of us were experiencing these kind of issues for unknown reasons.
We'll upload videos as soon as possible. If you have any other idea please let me know.
TL;DR
It might be "simple lag" then.
In the first match, we intentionally let Immortal Guides in first, so that they'd have the server on their side. Still as far as I can see, they were having the same issues. We placed Drop Uplinks and nanohives here and there, calling in vehicles etc. but the most game breaking things are equipment spam in large sockets, server location and voice chat. Nothing else seemed to influence the match.
Still one thing is strange:the second match against other italian guys was smoother even than pubs, even if there was equipment spam, voice chat on both sides, vehicle and explosives spam.
Videos for both coming soon.
