They don't work in DUST. If I remember correctly for them to function properly you need to be the hostZ

If this is the case, you flip that switch and everyone else sees you just standing there.

In other words, lagswitcher = free kills.

I don't know, that looked like a lag switch to me. I would have liked to see the end kill screen to get a better idea how he did.

Lag switches simply do not work in a game like DUST.

i bought a lag switch for battlefield 4 so i would know what it looked like when it was used on me.
ive also tested it on this game.during testing i made zero kills.
if your visual is moving all crazy but you keep walking and you end up where you thought you would be, lag switch
if you end up some where you did not walk to, network lag.
opponents taking no damage while you shoot, you will notice your clip isnt loosing bullets
lag switches work just like that. your mistake was to stop shooting. i see them at least 2 nights a week
i recognize them instantly. it is not a sure win on this game like it is on battlefield BUT
you keep shooting them and when they let go of their button they will go from 3/4 armor to a kill as long as you keep shooting and watch your clips ammo. FYI takes six full seconds of pressing the lag switch to be booted from game.
i personally think if the server doesnt get an update from a console after a second you should be booted

lag switchs dont work in dust u have to be the host if u tryed to lag switch in dust you would be a stand still target

This is normal it happens when you play on battles from far regions

"This guy's using lag switches and cheatcodes!!!"
"Dad this isnt Socom 2..."


People see what they want to see even if it cant be done.The only time iv experience lag like this in recent memory was yesterday when squading up, everyone in the squad had to leave the game because we could walk without teleorting within the general area where we spawned,was probably because of the automatic sever filter setting, seeing as that the most likely candidate to cause latency issues between country severs,which is why i stick to my country's sever.

I was of the impression that you were experimenting with your own switch and what'd do to your squad mates which would constitute a form of reproducible experiment in which case your finding would've been potentially interesting. Without that being the case there's no convincing reason to assume anything beyond ordinary coincidence.

The reason I'm saying this is: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The fundamental principle of how lag switches work necessarily requires the "switcher" to be the physical host of the game session and/or to have some authority over the game state to provide him any form of benefit.

In a game like dust the host and authoritative party is always a dedicated server (tranquility and its battleservers) that everyone else connects to as clients without said game state authority. The idea that lag switching does anything to help the "switcher" in dust (or any battlefield/cod game unless you host the game on your machine, for that matter) defies technical plausibility and is thus an extraordinary claim to make.

In other words. I need more than isolated cases of lag that could have been caused by anything to be convinced. Show me that you can deliberately and reproducibly use your lag switch to cause behavior that gives you a tangible competitive advantage over others. Then we'll talk.
