8v8 matches servers are less stable than the 7v7

Asia Singapore 8v8 Matches are less stable (yellow-red connection circle) and sometimes completely drops all the player in the server (only happens 2 times)

this doesnt happen in 7v7 servers.

Hit registry and TTK is also significantly better in 7v7

You still have 8v8 servers? Wtf lucky.

Totally normal. The more connected players there are on a same server, the more he’ll struggle, with identical broadband and hardware configuration. If both are the same, you should have the conditions with the number of players connected. Pretty hard to keep a 8vs8 server with 14 players, but that’s how you should compare the situation.

UE3 is quite sensitive to numbers of players, and the overall server quality decrease significantly the more players there are on the server, exponentially pretty much. Not only it has more clients to deal with, but some pointless elements are also taken into account such as ragdolls… And it clearly does not help.

So yeah, there really is a sound barrier for UE3 servers.

With the lack of a merc limit even 7v7s are chaotic and lag-fest filled, especially during free rotations with explosive users on it; let’s not kid ourselves here, the servers can barely handle what they deal with right now. I’d take 6v6 servers over either of those, if they even still existed in my region, because all I can get right now is 7v7s; which are as unpleasant an experience as 8v8s, for me, with how spam-filled this game often becomes in public games.

The game feels much more spammy than it used to. I can see why though, some guns were nerfed to hell and abilities have taken over a bit. I mained the driess for the longest time, but it’s so much worse now. I wish we could get rid of the RNG :’(
