[Performance] "Chugging" feeling in multiplayer: PC

(Aalatar) #1

Offline the game plays pretty well, but online I always feel like im chugging along. The movement isn’t as fluid and it’s a lot more chunky. Has anyone else experienced this?

I think thats because in Brink you aren’t just a “floating gun” like in other FPS. They gave the character some weight behind him, I for one really enjoy it. I feel like Im the actual character, especially when I vault things

Then how does that explain single player being much more fluid than multi?

Do you feel like you are being pulled back or pushed forward?

Is this behaviour consistent across multiple servers?

That is a good way to describe it. That makes it sound like a latency issue, but I have only played on multiple servers with pings around 40, my ping is always fully green and the servers are dedicated.

Sorry, I’ll be more clear.

Do you feel more like you’re being pulled back or more like you’re being pushed forwards?

Yes. Like im being slowed down

I have noticed this as well. At least, I think it’s the same thing. For me it seems that I can be running in a straight line across a flat surface and my run speed does not appear to be consistent. It feels like I’m periodically being slowed down slightly.

I feel like I remember this happening in Quake Wars at some point as well (I had a different system at the time).

Current system is i7 860, Radeon 5970, 4GB RAM

Same issue here… I’m guessing it has to do with network latency

I also experience this chugging movement. It’s like you slow down every other step. It seems related to ping/netcode.

Jeah, i feel like i get pushed forward a lot of times. i really have the feelings that the game teleports me if hold sprint. seems like ur not the only guy having this problem.
