Netcode : Game became unplayable (desyncs, teleporting)


(Begin2018) #1

Hi there,

My ping to EU servers is about 80ms. All was fine until few weeks, but now I’m constantly teleported. I am on a bridge? Teleported under the bridge. I’m in a room? Teleported outside. Etc. It happen every 5 seconds and make the game unplayable.

Please improve your netcode and fix this desync issues (need some kind of Lockstep).

Kind regards.

there is nothing wrong with the Netcode or Server, that what they going to tell ya. They don’t care about their Shit.

I’ve been teleporting all over today. It’s unplayable at the moment. Normally i blame it on my internet, but today it’s different. Internet is fine and have been playing other online games without a hitch. Just DB giving me problems.

ask them to slam the server with a wrench or something

asia works well btw

I’ve seen teleporting players with sub 40ms in AUS/Asia servers… I’m just reviewing footages of gameplay videos at the moment to ascertain it isn’t me or my ISP (and I’m not even on wireless anymore).

If there is indeed something wrong with the servers, they likely only be able to solve the issue on monday. However, did you guys tried to send a support ticket yet ?

I’m not yet certain if it’s ISP related or game server related. It comes and goes so it’s more likely to be ISP related. Sometimes, it’ll drop me out mid match, which is strange.

If you do send a ticket this will most likely be the reply.


(neverplayseriou) #9

Yeah lets send a ticket so SD can assure you that it’s either you or your isp and that their servers totally aren’t complete garbage!

I feel like the servers have been going downhill since SD started to host the game instead of Nexon. Hard to believe Nexon’s servers were better. I’d like to think it was a transition phase, but it feels like it’s been getting worse and worse lately.

The games netcode and server performance used to be one of the high points of the game for me. Now sometimes the game feels so laggy that I can only stand playing for one or two games and log off.

Yeah, while I wouldn’t say it unplayable, I’ve definitely noticed more rubberbanding and teleporing enemies than usual (I have 80 to eu West and ~50 to eu central)

Oh, and rubberbanding around EV is so tilting.

Definitely this. When Nexon was hosting it, you could play with or against pings of 100+ with no problems. Now, if I try to play with a steady ping around 100-120, I teleport everywhere, hits don’t register, and have a constant yellow/red connection icon popping up on the right side of the screen. It’s awful. However, it’s better on some days than others and idk why. My internet isn’t the greatest, but nothing’s changed since Nexon for me. I noticed these problems right after the transition.

Personally I’ve felt more improvements since SD boys have taken servers in charge.
Less server crashes, less servers in terrible shape, less server suddenly pinging twice more for no reason, overall better sensation and less weird hits. And those were recurring issues during the two years Nexon had servers in charge. There are still issues, but overall, there are mostly due to UE3 binaries making servers degrade over time.

Also, they might have changed servers parameters to better fit to the 99% people who can play with a ping far below the 100 ms ping. Which generally causes more erratic situations for people having high pings, because it can worsen how the server handles packet loss.

Yes, there are more players rubberbanding, model hovering on the ground, but at least you can hit them. I remember the cases where a 150+ ms ping boy was coming right in front of you, you can’t hit him and suddenly all his hits on you register… I have not seen that in a while.

And no, playing with your torrent client opened is still not an option, it never was.

lots of server issues seem to be due to horrid weather systems along the East Coast of USA

I’m in Midwest, just started experiencing the piss out of them today. Thanks for the update @Nail

Was in a US West server and about 10 minutes into the match with 40 kills and 6 deaths my game experienced an every other second (not literally, but it seriously felt like it) “connection to server lost” experience and this constant yellow or red connection issue yet I had a rock solid 80 ping. Ended 65/30, and the last 5 minutes were absolute pain to go through.

Done for today after that, hope whatever’s going on is addressed, either on SD side or other connected providers.
