 GǪ. Eve DUST 514 has a handful of mysteries for me, that I've never wanted to make assumptions about. And I still won't make assumptions about them.
LAG is one. I don't pretend to fully understand what mechanics and online script allows console players with several different series/models/versions of the console, and several different internet providers paying for several different m-per-sec speeds on several questionable internet connections varying from the heart of Toronto and Manchester cities to barely-lit towns in USSR, NZ, and HondurasGǪconnecting and synchorizing their movements on accounts that are partly stored in the console's drive, and partly stored on a 3rd party Server. GǪ.
Some persons NEVER get lag when playing on their own. But if they author a squad, one out of every 65 matches will encounter some small lag.
Some persons complain about getting REGULAR lag. And they suffer not only lag on a regular basis, but also the dread blank screen, freezes, and item-count bobbles that the first person I described don't ever get more than four times a year.
We tend to blame CCP. No, I take that back. I don't so easily want to blame CCP. I know Sony is a secretive company (with justifications for it), and if a solution to a problem requires drilling down further into PS3 guts than Sony can afford to allow, then the problem is just going to have to continue.
I also wonder aboutthe theories that the 1st category of persons I described MAY actually be causing the lag for the 2nd category of persons, or even the other way around (like a glitch that you only catch when your console with a quality internet connection has to synch with another console that has poorer internet provider... )
The only thing I can feel sure of, is that if the problem had to do directly with the game design, or the accessible part of the Sony equipment, or the player-controlled part of the internet comms (not the service provider portion the customer is paying for)GǪ CCP would have told us how to correct it by now.
That means, that the size of your HDD or the waistline measurement of you console, is something I've always doubted made any difference. If you get Lag, that's not the reason you're getting it.
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...
No story can have life without writers and publishers.
