Arirana Negative-Feedback. 984	Posted - 2015.06.12 19:53:00 - [1] - Quote Lag has been an incurable plague of the dust bunnies of New Eden since the birth of our kind. However, there are ways to fight it, and I'm going to tell you how. The first step in fighting lag is understanding the causes, and understanding different types of lag. If you are already well versed in your understanding of the different types of lag, you can skip this part. FPS Lag The most common and recurring lag type is frame-rate per second lag, or FPS lag. Its pretty straight forward and easy to identify, as the main symptom is low FPS, making your gameplay look a little more like a slideshow. FPS lag is mainly caused by memory leaks in the Dust 514 client, which occurs overtime the longer the dust client is running. It also occurs when the hardware in a player's ps3 just can't seem to keep up. Extreme cases of FPS lag can lead to system failure, disconnects, and freezing. Network/Server Lag The other type of lag is Network/Server lag. The main symptom of network lag is something called rubber banding. Rubber banding is the phenomenon where actions performed by the player seem to be "undone" with consistent frequency. Here's an EXAMPLE video of rubber banding. This is most often caused by a poor connection with the Dust 514 servers, either via ping, a poor internet connection on part of the player, or server side problems. Dust 514 shares servers with Eve Online, on many occasions massive battles have broken out in Eve online which can put large burdens on the servers altogether, leading to network lag for both games. How To Prevent FPS Lag As of right now there is no way known to me for a player to prevent memory leaks altogether. There are ways to slow and lessen its effects, which I will explain right now, listed in order of the least time consuming and easiest to perform. For maximum benefit, use as many of these as possible. Open your neocom, go to System Operation, then to options, then to video. Set your texture detail to low, and your effect detail to low. This is very easy, and improves performance slightly. Deleting all mails and contacts is known to yield immediate performance improvements. Similarly, keeping the number of channels you are in to a minimum reduces FPS lag as well. Other things such as how many boosters you have running or queued at once or how many fittings you have have lesser significant impacts on performance. Of course, these options are sacrificial, but they are quick and easy. Resetting your game via quitting the game to the psn menu and relaunching is the most obvious yet slightly time consuming and tedious option, but is known to temporarily replenish memory which has leaked. Hard resetting involves shutting down your ps3 entirely, and restarting it after a small amount of time has passed. This is even more effective and also gives your ps3 a chance to cooldown. De-Fragmenting your HDD (hard disk drive) which is the hard drive a newly bought ps3 comes with, as well as cleaning your ps3 of dust (actual dust). Cleaning your ps3 and defragmenting your HDD is highly recommended and should be performed at least once a week to prevent overheating (which can lead to YLOD), and to weed out corrupted files and unnecessary data. This is one of the more tedious options, but is easy to perform once you know what you're doing. HERE is a tutorial video on how to do both. Playing in standard definition aka 480p is one of the most effective ways to prevent FPS lag, but as can be expected, it looks crappier than 720p. HERE is a tutorial video on how to easily change your ps3 to 480p/SD from HD, and vice versa. Swapping your HDD (hard disk drive) for a SSD (solid state drive). This is by far the most effective way to prevent FPS lag, due to the SSD's superior upload/download speeds, and data reading speeds. However, this is also the most costly and and time consuming option. If you choose to get an SSD, PLEASE know and remember that you should not defragment an SSD, as it does not benefit from it, rather it wears it down faster. HERE is a more thorough explanation. For those that need convincing of its positive effects to make the purchase of a SSD and the lengthy process of installing it worth it. HERE is a video on conducting performance tests between an HDD and a SSD, and HERE is a detailed but LONG explanation about why a SSD is superior. I'll leave what SSD you purchase up to you, but obviously the more space on it the better. Now for how to physically remove your HDD and install your SSD, and then how to install the ps3 OS once its in there. HERE is a tutorial on how to physically remove your HDD and install a SSD on a slim. After you do that, go to THIS link, you will need it to install the latest ps3 software onto a flash drive. HERE is a tutorial video on how to install the latest ps3 OS onto your SSD once it is in there, the site it tells you to go to in the beginning of the video is the one I linked.

Arirana Negative-Feedback. 984	Posted - 2015.06.12 19:53:00 - [2] - Quote How To Prevent Network/Server Lag Compared to FPS lag players have less control of network lag, as there aren't as many things you can do to prevent it. However I do have some useful tips, again listed least time consuming/easiest first. Reset your router at least once a day. HERE is a quick 2 min tutorial video on how to do it. Establish a wired connection between your ps3 and your router. Many people experience a significant improvement to their internet connection. Wireless is fine so long as your router is within close proximity to your ps3. The further away it is, the weaker the connection. Wired being the best. HERE is a tutorial video on how to set up a wired connection. Have a faster internet connection. Alot of you prefer/only have access to potato internet, which is unfortunate. You should have at least 8 mbps, anything less than that is potato status and will make you lag like hell. Well that's all I got. Please keep the thread on topic, feel free to contribute and call me out on anything I left out or am wrong about. The Official Ari QQ Thread

D3LTA Blitzkrieg II 0uter.Heaven 306	Posted - 2015.06.12 20:04:00 - [4] - Quote Solid post. SSD is a considerable investment, especially for a outdated console but the rest of the tips are easy enough to execute. For me personally, deleting all mail and contacts proved enough to eradicate most of the FPS lag. Add in a reset before every PC and I can enjoy a decent experience. Running out of fuks to give
Arirana Negative-Feedback. 987	Posted - 2015.06.12 20:27:00 - [5] - Quote The investment for a SSD is indeed steep, but you have the time and money it is very worth it from my experience. I bought my 120gb Samsung SSD back when they went for $150 (the price has lowered) and it was still worth it then. To give you a better idea of how good it is, I do not get unplayable fps lag ever since I got it. Not even on the lag facility map, even when it was in PC. People accuse me of lag switching very often because of it. "I'm lagging and you clearly aren't, you're lag switching qq" is the gist of most hate mail I get. The Official Ari QQ Thread

This type of lag is caused because TV wants to show screen at highest quality which takes some time do improve image.

Its even more unfortunate that without a hard drive upgrade you are bound to get unplayable lag often. The Official Ari QQ Thread

Will any SSD work or do you need a specific kind? Considering SSD`s are usually in the 2.5inch form factor, they should slot right in like a harddrive. I do remember reading though that the PS3 architecture can only benefit to a certain extent from an SSD so I would suggest that you dont need the fastest most expensive badass one, unless you plan to reuse it in another system later down the line.

Playing on EU server and I'm mostly peachy, playing on US servers and I'm quickly reduced to a common pleb. Which is ok for most opponents, going up against good organized players though, its a horrid experience cause its quite obvious that you lose many engagements due to the game's performance not due to meeting superior players.

Just my 2 isk... If I don't regularly perform steps 2 and 3, as well as play on 480p, the lag definitely gets to levels comparable to when I didn't have a SSD at times, but still not as often or as badly. Even if you have a SSD and the defragging section of step 4 doesn't apply to you, cleaning and maintaining the health of your ps3 can have major impacts on performance. The Official Ari QQ Thread

Kwartoo 22	Posted - 2015.06.13 22:55:00 - [26] - Quote 1/ "FPS Lag". That's no lag, it's called low fps (no capitals here, FPS are First-Person Shooters) or low framerate. I sell cheap dictionaries, send me an evemail anytime. 2/ "replenish memory which has leaked". We're not talking about a broken pitcher here. A memory leak is a coding flaw that makes an ongoing process use more and more RAM. Restarting the game only makes it use its initial amount of RAM. On Windows, you'd have to properly set up your swap (virtual memory.) Don't know if it can be done on consoles. 3/ "Cleaning your ps3 and defragmenting your HDD". You're right, cleaning your hardware does prevent overheat, but HDD defragmentation does not "weed out corrupted files and unnecessary data." A defragmentation moves (when possible) all the files written on the disk as closer as possible to the center of the platters, and (also when possible) puts together the different parts of the same file, and all the files from the same software. It makes it easier for the OS and the softwares to access needed files, that's all. 4/ "due to the SSD's superior upload/download speeds". WHAT.THE.HOLY.**. A SSD does not donwload anything, nor does it have an influence on the limits of an internet connection. The only good points of a SSD (but they are very good points) are their reading and writing speeds. Important: only buy a SSD from a reliable brand. Don't buy OCZ. Samsung, Intel and Crucial are good. 5/ "Reset your router at least once a day". Bullshit. If you need to do that, there's something wrong with your router's configuration or hardware. Fix that instead. 6/ "Have a faster internet connection". NO ** SHERLOCK. Anything to add, Captain Obvious?

TBH I stopped short of obsessing over being technically correct about everything, and focused on making sure each step actually has an impact on performance issues. I'll make sure to try my best today to correct all the second hand info but I can't make any promises. I tried to stay open minded about your criticism because it started off good, it really did, but towards the end your post devolved considerably due you trying too hard to nitpick at minor flaws. I feel like you missed the point of this thread and the target audience. Regarding 1/, 2/, 3/ and 4/ you provided stellar clarifications, I these are the parts I will mainly focus on to correct. As for 5/ resetting a router is a quick and easy temporary fix for a problem that is often difficult to find the cause of, and a problem that many people suffer from. HERE** is a bit of info about how to properly fix it. Its easy to understand why people prefer to just reboot the thing regularly, but I realize I overlooked that fact that many people do not have to reboot their router, I will go back and clarify that as well as post that link for people that want to fix the problem at the source. Finally, regarding your gem input in 6/ I already explained why I included it because of the amount of people who seem to think they can get by playing dust with internet barely better than dial up. Also sorry but no, I don't feel like sending you an evemail anytime. Ever. thanks anyway The Official Ari QQ Thread

Either way this is one of the most infuriating things about knifing.... I have found that I can test it by running up against a blue. If I start bugging out, knifing is going to be hell... Dust 514, the BEST WORST game you can't stop playing.
