I would like to preface this with i do have high speed internet. ok, I have been playing this beta for a while and while i see lots of the features improve, better interaction with players, better balance, etc...... the one thing that is a full game breaker for me is the lag. Now i don't fancy myself a expert FPS player, I used to be better but it has not held the appeal for me ever since halo go so repetitive and stale. But when I meet someone in combat in dust, I would say i have a less than 50% success rate mostly due to my own gun jumping around just as fire breaks out or my opponent warping little bits messing up my aim.
I remember playing halo online and not having issues like this. I know this is still just the beta but this is one of the first issues that should have been solved but still persists. I can't find this game enjoyable when i die due to lag ALL THE TIME. I get very frustrated with the game and if it is like this at release, for one i will be really disappionted and for two I will not be playing this game when I really want to.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix the lag issues so I can properly enjoy this masterpeice you are creating.
Thank you |

I had to abandon a game earlier as the lag was too bad, wasting suits is not fun! |

There are many threads about the lag. One I even created myself out of pure frustration. I, too, have an excellent connection and it's irrelevant. The lag is huge problem that persists. I wish CCP would at least speak up and let us know what the problem is. If it is the server at least it should improve when we move to Tranquility. If it's a software issue, it'd be nice to know that a patch or future build will remedy the problems. No information about it is extremely frustrating. It's the single most damaging aspect of the beta and yet it continues to go completely unacknowledged by the Devs. |

For me the thought of spending money on aurum has not crossed my mind because it would seriously be wasting money at this point.
I am glad however that it is not just me having these lag issues because I was and still am looking forward to this game but now that I know that other people are having these same issues I think it is a much large problem that CCP will have to address and if not lose lots of people. |

I get it every day, every match, every game, every second! If this "lag" is still there with the full release, i won't be. |

seems like there is 2 types of lag going on:
the bad lag, the one where the whole match just slows down so much that you gotta fight your way to the "quit game" screen and reboot, that one is bad but it's not as bad as the other lag.
the OTHER lag is tthe one where you round a corner, see a guy or 2 coming at you
and you try to fall back to get cover=
pause/unpause
move
guy fires at you
pause/unpause
you move, notice damage
pause/unpause
fire gun
pause/unpause
dead... respawn.
THAT lag is balls. really seriously sucks. it's so unpredictable that even if the match is going ok,
when you get into CQC with someone and you're getting shackled for like half a second every 8 seconds...
they REALLY gotta fix that.

I agree completely with the above and it is the one issue that really makes me mad. When in a firefight your aim "jumps" and you end up dead. Even when it is a "mano a mano" situation and the screen is not full. |

Yes, yes it is. In more ways than one.

The second choppy (pause, unpause) lag has been ever present since at least June. Spot on description. It is even noticeable in some game play videos. I remember noticing it in some footage from gamescom. It really does make a poor impression.
Gameplay would improve immeasurably if that lag was dealt with. |

I honestly don't even know what this means.
When this build first came out,I had close to zero issues with lag,and can say that it was a vast improvement from the previous build.But as the day went on, more and more lag started to creep into the game,to a point now that,at least for me,only about 50% of the matches are really even playable.
Like I said in another thread that I made earlier,we all know the problems of this build already,so for me,there's little reason to keep playing this build.I might get on for a match or two,or play maybe twice a week,but I'm ready for CCP to put up or shut up and give us at the very least a stable build.
I know it's hard work what they are trying to accomplish,and I applaud them for it,but testing this game/beta is getting very hard to do.
I'm the furthest thing from a game developer,but I would've thought that the first thing that you do with an online shooter is to figure out how to make your game run as smoothly as possible for your potential player base,then balance out the guns and stuff like that.Seems like CCP is doing it bass-ackwards.

Everybody together. Lag does not involve a bad framerate. Lag does not involve a bad farmerate. Lag does not involve a bad framerate!!!!!!! |

Geez, don't move to Australia then:) We are literally stone age with the internet. Anyway, lag has vastly improved for me at least this last build.
Only really had one game so far that was nearing unplayable, whereas last build it was 1 in 5 or so. |

2 games, that is the best I can do, after that I am almost guaranteed to encounter the severe framerate drop.
Total seems to be around 1 hour.
And today I forgot my DUST game, leaving my character in the Merc quarters for an hour, without ever having entered a battle, and still I came back to find it severely limited framerate.
I'm going to try this again in a bit, but if people are willing to test this. Try to just log in, and leave your character standing in the merc quarters for an hour and see if the frame rate have dropped. |

I have that jumping aim too when in scope. It seems the moment someone shoots at me, or when I see some visual effects on the screen, frame-rate drops and when in scope the aiming jumps around instead in huge steps instead of moving smoothly.

When CODEX was released, I had very smooth matches, almost no frame-drops or lags. From that point the game was a big improvement for me and I consider that level of performance "release-ready".
Then it started to have occasional frame-rate-drops (I notice them more than lag). And for a couple of days now it is getting worse and worse. There is almost no gun-fight with no frame-rate-drops. It is barely playable for me. |

I quit every time I load in and see the 5 point map. Avoids team chat where you have to be told when your dead or not. |

I have to agree here. Now that you mention it the framerate drops have been getting progressively worse over the time the build have been running. |

I don't get as much lag when I run solo. For me, the worst lag occurrs when I am in a squad with people from the other side of the U.S. When I am in a squad, I always have bad lag in game. When I'm solo, I have bad lag less than half the time. |

It's not as frequent as it used to be for me, but when I do get it it's completely unplayable.
I hope there is a fix in the pipeline. |

This is probably the only sensible decision to make at this point.I'll have to start doing the same thing the the limited matches that I'm willing to play. |
