DUST Search - I never lag. I seriously feel sorry for all of you who do

It might be because I live a block away from the Comcast building. I don't know. But I seriously RARELY get lag. And when I do it's either minimal, or the entire 32 player match lags to death.

Some guy in my squad the other night was complaining about frames per second issues. I told him I dont get those either.

Even when my corp had a PC against Mottainai JAPAN and they got the Oceania server and lagged us to death, I didn't experience that lag while everyone else did.

Other players will lag sometimes. They will be in one spot and then warp to another spot. But it's hardly ever an issue. I can still target them easily.

I do remember in 1.6 or 1.5 I had serious lag issues, where my player would walk in directions I didn't tell him to, and I'd have to stop touching the controller for up to a minute before it would work again. It was really bad.

Then all of a sudden it stopped. Forever. They must have fixed it during downtime because I have never experienced it again. Recently I have been getting a MINOR version of this lag. But it goes away after a second or two.

Seriously guys. The thing everyone talks about with equipment spam? Lag switching? None of it affects me.

None of it affects me. When I started playing in closed beta my lag was rough and then my router died, I bought another and it died shortly after. I bought a very expensive router and it helped but what made the most difference was when I connected straight to the modem. Up until about four months ago I never played without being directly wired to the modem. I have had more lag and rubber banding in those four months than I have in the last year. I can tell a difference in almost every aspect of the game when I change between wired to the router, wireless to the router and wired to the modem. Direct modem connections, for me, fixes almost every performance problem I have and even the difference between wired and wireless to the router is noticeable. I also replaced a comcast modem right after beta started. I do believe that some of the performance problems people experience is caused by poor connections. I had a fatal error about two weeks ago and that is the only one I can think of, people complain about fatal errors a good bit but I never have that problem. "One of God's own prototypes.

Bro story cool. Better than having a poor connection or router and blaming CCP like many of us do. He is right, the better the connection the better the performance of DUST. My son plays DUST and is wireless to the router, I am wired to router with my PS3 and there is a noticeable difference and I payed over $100 for my router about a year and half ago. Time of day, distance to the the ISP, distance to the router, quality of service, quality of router/modem, quality and type of connection to the home run devices make a huge difference. 8am-10am at my house, it isn't even worth trying to play an online game because of morning business internet traffic and school internet traffic. Trying to play a FPS is like putting a pissed off pit bull in a cat carrier, it isn't going to happen and if it does you aren't going to like it. "One of God's own prototypes.
