Servers Are Super Laggy

Not our connections - the servers are worse in S20. When are we going to get better servers?

  • I'll be honest, I've not lagged or anything this season so far, everything seems very smooth all round

  • @Midnight9746Actually I was going to call my ISP and complain about this but then I experienced stuttering on the menu screen which clearly shows issues with the servers.

    I have had 5 different ISPs in the past and currently sitting at the FTTH - which is the best connection that exists. I have below 30ms to all European servers (at the selection screen).

    Last season I did not really experienced much lag  (with my current ISP) but this season is atrocious.

    Constantly being shot behind the cover and "time rewinds" are very common. 

    This game could be good when servers are working but when they don't it's just not a good experience at all - very frustrating.

  • I get the prediction error and packet loss symbol in at least 3/5 matches and when I ask my randoms, they comfirm they got it too. However, I dont "feel" any lag on my side. The game actually runs smoother than it ever has. But with that being said; who knows what kind of latency and server sided BS I actually experience without knowing it haha.

    For me the game overall does feel smoother than before but that being said there is some funky stuff going on the netcode. 

    The best example of this is when I chase enemy and he disappears around the corner, when I peek the corner he is already way, way far than I would anticipated. This always boggles me.

    @PsyhiX69 The lag happens around when half the teams are left, which is weird.

    In one of the games, my teammates had said that they only had lag when they were in the Trident, with me as the driver. Once they got out, the lag stopped. In another game, one of the randoms was pushing a squad, while me and the other random were rubberbanding a lot trying to catch up.

    Its unclear what's going on, but my ping during these times have been saying its around 45-85ms with over 100 FPS, which when it has been my connection before in the past, my ping spikes up to 100+, and the FPS drops to like 25-40.

    As we know, the servers also run on 20hz, so its anyone's guess.
  • @Midnight9746 I haven't had any issues and I haven't seen anybody else having issues. Compared to 6 seasons of DDOS attacks this is probably the best season yet it terms of connection quality. My friends have all mentioned how great the servers feel compared to previous seasons.

    The biggest issue that persists are the aim assist abusers who use controller on PC and the wall hackers are in every lobby...
