Unplayable matches in which the rubber banding lag last the whole damn time are becoming more frequent every week in my experience. Apparently various worthless douchb*gs are lag switching. All I know is this wasn't happening before CCP announced Legion. Have you abandoned network tech support for Dust? This epidemic needs a response. This is happening ALL THE TIME EVERY DAY. What are you doing about it CCP?

if i remember correctly you usually have worse lag than others, mainly your internet may be to blame.

CCP is in the process of closing down both Asia and Europe servers so we can all play on the American server and all have equal lag... true story bro.

Whatever. Do your corpies know you're a lying backstabber?

LOL, people who still blame lag-switching in a game where lag-switching doesn't work.



He's a Goon. That's a point of pride.

Bump. The lag sucks! What are you doing about it CCP?

Devs are not mysterious. Devs are busy. There's a difference.

Considering most of the people coming in here are not supporting your claims, as well as the fact that I have had none of the problems you're describing leads me to believe that it's either an internal networking issue with your equipment, there's an isolated problem on your connection to the internet, or you're playing on a server that's far away from you against people close to said server.

Also, although apparently temporally resolved, there have been issues for the past 2-ish weeks with the general internet as a whole.

Yes yes but why doesn't lag switching work in Dust? If it's not that what is it?

Whatever. Do your corpies know you're a lying backstabber?

Okay, so lag switching works on games where a player is the host. This was done notably in Call of Duty, to save money. Rather than Activision actually host their own servers, they would allow the lowest latency player to be the server for the rest of the team. Lag switchers would have a great internet connection, and be selected the host for the game. Then, once the match started, they'd flip on the lag switch, and while they continued to have 0 latency, other players would experience soul-crushing lag.

Unlike these games, DUST uses battle servers that all players connect to, and no user has control of the server. This means that a player who lag switches actually slows themselves down, not everyone else. Lag switching does not work in DUST. It never has, it never will. Anyone who says otherwise, is clueless.

The reason there's more lag in DUST is because most games are much more compartmentalized location-wise. In a lot of games, you're playing mostly people in the same geographic area, not just "in the US" perhaps, but "on the west coast". On the other hand, DUST places all people in North and South America in the same battle server. And in PC, it's even common for players to be playing against people on another continent.

The very selling point of DUST and New Eden, that it's all one universe, is actually what causes the lag. Because on almost no other game will you ever be fighting people over an ocean.

You were always so narrow-minded and childish. Look the issue of performance is two fold, the battleserver performance and your own internet connection. Grow the **** up and stop being a ******* pubbie.

It's not lag-switching, it's lag compensation. Bone Snatcher posted this video the other day that explains it pretty well. The gist of it is, people with good connections get dragged down to accommodate people with sh!tty connections. So when you die almost instantly to a guy you just pumped half a mag into, that guy has a worse connection than you do.

Ha! You don't know sh*t about me dog. What I know about you is that your childish b*tching, squabbling, backbiting, and backstabbing betrayed the trust that your corpmates placed in you as a leader and soured me and a bunch of others on The Exemplars.

Look I'm a lover not a hater dog but it's hard to deal with unrepentant tw@twaffles such as yourself.

Less players so more bad combinations being forced to fill matches?

This is some fracking B.S.

I get tired of loosing vehicles because it doesn't start until I'm in one , trying to lay spawns and cant get back into my dropship or LAV which causes me to loose the vehicle and in most cases my characters life from being shot while lagging , don't know how that keeps on happening but anyway .

This has been going on for the past 3 months with this lag crap getting worst .

One of the reasons why I don't play as much and one of the main reasons that I was taking a break from the game , I go back on my own word to myself and I get reminded on why I'm doing what I'm doing in the first place once in-game .

It's cool , it gives me time to play other games and increasingly weaning me off of this crap .

The only thing that's keeping me around is the fact that I would like to see if CCP is going to give a SP refund after Delta or at least infantry ... if not then you all can have this crap that your so in love with to begin with .

Doesn't make sense to try and play a game that's unplayable because of glitches and lag .

You threaten to leave in nearly every post.
Please, follow through with your threat.

Wipe the white stuff off of your chin fanboi , I didn't know I was that popular and next time don't bite down as much .

The only person I've seen use the word "dog" more than you (in relation to a person) is Randy Jackson....

We're actually not down on players really... at all. Statistically, I actually think we have more players now than we did before Fanfest on a regular basis.

No shame in my game dog.

Ha! You don't know sh*t about me dog. What I know about you is that your childish b*tching, squabbling, backbiting, and backstabbing betrayed the trust that your corpmates placed in you as a leader and soured me and a bunch of others on The Exemplars.
