Re: Major server LAG/rubber banding issues.

Thanks for sharing some steps that can help alleviate some of the lag or rubberbanding. Some PC users might have Killer Control Center which could be related to rubberbanding. 

The team is aware of slow server performance and mentioned this in the 3.8.2019 update.

SLOW SERVER PERFORMANCE AT THE START OF MATCHES

We’ve seen these reports and are narrowing down causes and making improvements. If this could be fixed by spending money on faster/more servers we would do it, but unfortunately there is no silver bullet on this one. We’re just rolling up our sleeves and digging in. We’ll keep you updated on any progress we make.

    I like what I see!

    I'm looking forward to seeing all this being fixed, and I know it'll happen eventually.

    I don't have killer control center but I do have other Killer programs due to my gaming motherboard manufacturer being MSI, never used them so I have disabled or uninstalled most of them. My Network adapter is from Killer too.. So I guess the dots connect here. 

     Though I've played with people/friends that don't have MSI motherboards and vastly different setups but we all still experience the lag and rubberbanding at the very same moment. So I'm guessing that I can happily say that my Killer network adapter isn't causing these problems in my end, when I experience lag the whole server is crippled by it too. 🙂

    Of course I knew that this issue was already being looked into, but I'm so glad to see it being brought up in update. Instead of receiving empty fix copy pasta that blames me for having bad PC and followup with ending line that tells me that my system is corrupted and no good. :eahigh_file:

    Good luck and hope y'all find fix that benefits us all!

  • this stuff is still happening, I have golden ping that sits at 40 at all times with no packet loss yet I am always rubber banding along with my buddies just played 4 games in a row and died due to rubber banding, as of right now I would not recommend players playing this game, hope to see this fixed soon.

    I have tested my ISP connection with dsl reports and have A+,A,A+ yet I am constantly rubber-banding. Two steps forward one step back.

    Well, two years later it's still happening.

    Jittery play and terrible hit registration are making this game a miserable experience.

    With an average ping of around 30ms, I'd have expected better performance, but something is off for sure.
