Really bad Server CPU lag - EU

(Ctrix) #1

Let me first of say I havn’t played the game in a couple weeks prior.
The last days I’ve been playing on different servers, at different times of day, and I get the consistent feeling of playing against people who’re pinging at like 200+ But the board shows everyone being at 30-40ms. I’ve asked people if they had the same issue and they’ve told me yes. Seems to me like it’s what the title says. Servers are trash hardware. They just can’t keep up. Idk when this started or why, but this needs to be fixed asap.
Making this post here so others can share relevant experiences.

Yeah been having a bad time with the servers as well. Sometimes the rubber banding is too much and I have to calm myself before I rage :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve not seen people physically rubber band (at least I think so), but getting shot by people with M4 and it fells like they killed you with one burst from a Stark, or generally dying way too fast after they come around a corner. Other times just dying and not even being sure they were on the screen prior to you being dead.

Yep, happened to me today too, quite a few times. Many people on the servers also complaining about rubber banding all over the place… Kinda ridiculous -.-

So this is what’s going on?

As of last patch sometimes only at the start of the match I feel like my FPS drops, but my FPS remains either 60 flat or flickers between 59 and 60.

Only today did I ever get lag spikes so hard in DB, that the screen froze. And everything was running perfect on my end at least, the usual ping, no changes in FPS either. Maybe it was Thunder though, I mean, the effect was the same, my DB looked frozen, but my actions carried over. Either that or my mercs learned to teleport.

Wait a second… could this be a new merc… The Lag?

Lag, allmighty, just please don’t crash the servers! What else will I play? I don’t have the beta access to… you know… Game-What-Must-Not-Be-Named…

Time for the servers to be reset again.

IIRC they restart every 8 hours.

When did they introduce this?

Either the last patch or the patch before it. Smooth mentioned it on a stream last week.

Thanks!

I also experienced those issues, not as warping client but I definitely saw a couple of players having those issues. It’s been more occuring for a week now. But that’s a bug which has always been there.

Those issues feel server related, but it’s not guaranteed in my opinion. It looks very much alike the “ghost 200ms” ping bug we could encounter in the past. But EU servers are struggling way too often anyway.

I get 60-70 ping on EU servers and there is a lot of rubber banding, teleporting and lag in general. However when playing on US servers I get 200-250 ping but the game feels much better. No rubber banding, no mini teleports, nothing. I couldn’t tell I was playing with 200 ping before I clicked Tab. EU servers may be different than US ones. Who knows…

Sorry if you cant tell 200ping after the first firefight, I doubt your judment in this matter.

Also, on the note of servers, last two weeks I have never been able to join a 15/16 server, none of them. Either sticks to auto-join or actually gives me the message that the server is full. But refreshing server list and seeing the same servers still at 15/16.

(RazielWarmonic) #15

Looking into it.

(strawberryJacket) #16

Server issues are here since open beta start, why does people act as if it was the first time.

They are “Looking into it” for months now, so dont hold your breath.

Other than really hing ping times in public matches(obj/stopwatch/execution) i rarely see rubber banding and lagging though. i have seen it only once or twice this weekend. but i do tend to see it realy bad in ranked matches.

(KnightDemon) #18

There definitely seems something strange going on with the servers, I’ve gotten worst pings of recent in U.S. West than E.U. and I’m over on the east coast. Even amongst some east coast game servers, they seem marginally different as far as pings go. Granted, I mostly play execution, if there is any connection there, but I’ve seen it in comp as well.

(Ctrix) #19

That might just be because there’s only a couple internet highways across the pond and they’re high demand.

Its all servers. Servers havent been crisp in around 3 weeks.
