Dodgy servers
Want to know if people are having trouble playing the game atm, trying to play ranked here and I keep ending on bad servers that make me lag out of existence. My ping is fine, I checked if I joined w...
@apostolateofDOOM playing gold ranked with youngtree over the last few days on the London server and the lag was horrible at the start of most matches until numbers were down to about 10 squads. It was consistently odd.
Yt was on pc and on my xbox I was getting at least 4 of the red warning indicators.
There was no issue with my Internet speeds!
@OldTreeCreeper Maybe you had mainland European players on the server and experiencing packet delays on the border due to brexit? 😛
My solo rank grind was awful this season. At times it's reasonable playable but the game just feels sluggish, bloated and frankly horrendous on the whole now. I honestly don't mind these things in most genres but FPS i want quality and responsiveness above anything pretty and shiny.
@apostolateofDOOM it's probably all those customs forms they have to fill out that's causing the lag 😃
As an interesting side note the kc games I played recently when it started again, had a very fast and fluid feeling, with no lag and were a joy to play.
I have often wondered if latency can build up in a server, much like it can on a WiFi extender or router. The simple solution there is to unplug the extender for a few seconds and then plug it back in, good to go. If not a quick reset does the job.
Anyone know if servers need defragmentation? Have to do that on youngtree's pc after every update to keep it running smoothly. Minor defrag every update, defragmented files only, major defrag every 2 months or so, complete drive defrag, using defraggler not the windows one. Game files are on a seperate drive to the os.
@DoYaSeeMe
Did I understand correctly, is this really about hard disk defragmentation?
They don't use ssd's for servers?!
Just in Case a CEO is reading that... we life in 2021!
