I've tried to ask CCP to explain what factors contribute to laggy games, they told everyone to use push to talk.
But I have come to the conclusion, IF your entire GROUP of Players doesn't have the same type of connection, wonkiness and bullplop abound. What I mean by this is that everyone should have ports open or their router in a DMZ. They should all be hard wired with at least 8mb down and 2 up.
SONY Support requests that you leave Upnp ON in your routers settings as the psn needs it to get past the ISP's (general) firewall.
CCP Support recommends turning OFF Upnp....
SO what does a player do? I've left it on and turned it off, when I turned Upnp off it was some of the laggiest games I have been in, yes I made sure to open up the correct ports for both dust and the psn.
It eventually comes down to squads at this point.... I play solo and I have less problems with hit detection, IT is also tough to tell if your bullets are missing or they are hitting someone who went invisible either by legit game glitch or they actively did it and because auto aim even when off will do some strange things like track the enemy just enough to miss them no matter how far in front of them you shoot to compensate for lag.
Then ask yourself this, did you have a team made up of multiple region players vs a team of players from 1 general region?
or reverse it.
But all this is rendered a moot point as the basic system is flawed, each side should have the same amount of clones, no matter what the facility produces... you are already gimping the match by having a set time, but then again there goes a sneak attack....hrmm how many real world battles have been won like that..... if the defenders are not online when you attack you fight their drone defense ( I just watched the secondary character opening movie cinematic again...drones looked like it would distract me from the monetany that is the random skirmish battle and the pc that just stinks) but we don't have that.
The situation gets compounded because CCP said themselves that they deliberately didn't not open up more than 5% or some such value of the total area that could ONE DAY be contested, to test what would happen. |
