Re: Respawn, Olympus is [Admin - removed] unplayable

@CaptWrekAlyfe I never see this on my ps4. I also know xbox people that do not either. Seems really odd one map changes your connection. FPS I could understand

    @hayhor I on pc have much better and smoother games on worlds edge. Olympis i dont know if its a gpu thing or what but it is far more unstable in areas for me then anything worlds edge has ever done to me. I made a post about this earlier in the season.

    @E9ine_ACYeah but that isnt a net connection thing. That's something else. I mean on ps4 I see more frame drops on olympus too. It is huge and with all the open spaces you can see far. There is way more to render.

  • @hayhor This has nothing to do with frame rate, quality and clarity of graphics, or any other nonsense like that. I'm talking about the basic foundation cornerstone of GAMEPLAY.

    Now on Olympus many times when I encounter an enemy squad, my ping and packet loss shoots up and enemies are lag teleporting all over the place. They can shoot me up all to high hell but I can't even get a bead on them.

    This happens largely in Olympus. I normally blame the player, for the sake of argument, they may be in Cali but choose a far away server in NY or across seas with high ping so they can lag teleport on the enemies side of the connection for an advantage. But this is Olympus specific when I see my performance numbers in the upper right side of the screen increase in the wrong way anytime I get close to a battle.

    @E9ine_AC weird, it's the opposite for me, WE completely destroy my fps, especially in capitol, i lost around 20fps, while olympus is pretty much optimized on my end
  • @bosourd here's an idea to try: restart the game before each rotation, see if this still is the case.
  • So according to @hayhor lag, high ping, rubber banding, snapping and shot no reg is something new for the forums. Priceless...

    I played for about an hour after the Winter event ended and things seemed to have settled down but it was only an hour. My ping didn't go over 75 on Olympus and anytime I got gakked it was because I was trying to win a fight against 2 purple armored enemies with havocs and spitfires when bringing vanilla armor and an eva 8. We will see how it goes for the rest of the week.

    I'm wondering if it has something to do with the event, not playing during the "struggle hours", or if someone from Respawn spilled some Mt Dew on a console and it fixed the issue.

    As I stated earlier I got a long laundry list of issues to eventually air out so thank you all for comments and hope the new year brings everyone what they need

    I wholeheartedly take my last post back. Not only has the bull$#*% returned, it's back with a fury. Now, when I go to Olympus, the lag is so bad I cant even reload my gun or jump walls and I'm hearing my squadmates say the same thing

    Now I got a NEW bug! When I go to test in the firing range, I'm lagging out there and I have another completely different name tag.

    I'm sure a Respawn dev will double down on their fanboy appeasing rhetoric saying no that's not true, that's exaggerated, but it's difficult to be dismissive and set up strawman arguments when you got pic and video proof

    @CaptWrekAlyfeNo I didnt say that. I said that I've not seen anyone say they have ping issues due to the map change in the rotation. Others here have mentioned the frame rate issues, which could feel like lag and teleporting but it isnt network related in those cases.

    I actually saw the firing range name bug first hand when a pro did it live in a stream. Was really weird.

  • OP I don’t know if you play on the base model Xbox (VHS model or Xbox One S) but that’s what I played on for a while and I think the hardware just cannot keep up with the game. I would get constant micro-stutters at least once every 30 seconds which lasted anywhere from a split second to almost a second long and this was very frustrating. Constantly getting the “player prediction error” symbol on top right and ping sometimes spiking for no reason. 

    Well I was able to get the Series X and it eliminated all those problems so I have to chalk that down to hardware. Obviously other players with terrible connection will teleport but on my end I have pretty much flawless performance for what it’s worth. Unfortunately I just think getting it to run well on base model Xbox is a pipe dream...and I hear what you are saying about Olympus because as soon as I saw it I said there is no way this will run well on Xbox One S lol. I know what you are referring to seems pretty unique but saying if you are on a base Xbox model I would suggest the hardware is an issue

    To@MyName1sNotJohn - Perhaps I shoulda been more clear. I play on the Xbox One X. I don't run off 4g or 5g wifi, I hard pipe the ethernet of which I get an average of 170 mbps DL 10 mbps UL times with 20-30 ping. People tell me I should go and upgrade to optical but, JAYZIS.... I don't get these issues on any other MMO's. How hard is it to get a stable connection?

    And now that we got the new Pathfinder town takeover event, I can have one match in Olympus that runs clean with no issues, then the next 3 are worse than when I made the initial post during the Winter Train event. It's gone beyond lag, rubber banding and enemy teleporting. I go to reload and nothing takes effect even after the animation. I go to hop a wall and it's like a bad dream where you're moving slow and can't do anything.

    There is one thing I noticed and I have not been DC'ing and being bounced to the lobby right when I'm getting good momentum in a match and about to get a DUB as kill leader. I solo queue alot and I meet many random players and a good portion of them concur they've been dealing with issues, maybe not as egregiously expressed but I know I'm not alone.

    @CaptWrekAlyfe Since the update everyone is having issues with disconnects. It is really bad. It happens every update and every new season.
