LAGGY ONLINE GAME PLAY

Product: Command & Conquer Remastered
Platform:PC
Summarize your bug Horribly laggy online gameplay. Unit selection took more than 1 sec to comply. You were trashed then on online play.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Player Multiplayer online 8 players map
What happens when the bug occurs? Laggy battlefield control response that diminishes the point of playing an RTS Game. Units only response (Select Team 1, All units accross screen etc) after 1 sec lag
What do you expect to see? Fix this issue. The game experience is more enjoyable with C&C95 red alert online if lagging control issues still persist. Single-player campaign missions are fine.

Fix this issue. The game experience is more enjoyable with C&C95 red alert online if lagging control issues still persist.
Single-player campaign missions are fine. Running on modern Core i5 8th processor.

    I have this problem too. It makes multiplayer impossible. anything more than a 4 person game makes the game completely unplayable. Lag lasts more than 5 seconds. it is really bad. any suggestions how to fix this?

    This is lasting 30+sec for me

    multiplayer and single player - if lots of activity/lots of units

    Extreme lag and the ability to control tanks and Q during combat dissapears. 

    The worst part is that certain people don't seem to be (as affected?) affected by this and are able to control THEIR units.  For example just now in a game, the lag begins and nothing is responding and I go back to my base and see a player has somehow been able to destroy the entirety of my inner base with a tanya.  Seems his inputs were functioning just fine as I watched helplessly him click every single structure being UNABLE TO REACT WHATSOEVER DUE TO THE LAG AND INPUTS DISSAPEARING.

    FIX THIS GAME OR I WANT MY MONEY BACK.

    We are now well into September and this doesn't appear to be getting fixed.

    @trancemixt hey buddy, did you try a workaround mentioned by Jim during the public beta patch update:https://www.reddit.com/r/commandandconquer/comments/hrrh2y/remaster_update_and_july_beta_patch/

    If you saw increased framerate stuttering or launch crashing after the June major patch versus the launch version, we have an experiment you can try:

    Go to your C&C Remastered Collection page on Steam

    Click on the Manage button (gear icon)

    Select Properties

    On the General tab, select “Set Launch Options…”

    In the box, enter “NOSPLASHPRELOAD”

    Click OK and launch the game

    This will effectively revert the texture optimizations we made in the June Patch, and may help performance / stability with certain hardware configurations (This launch option will also work with the standard live branch as well)

    @trancemixt i Also remember that, Jim had told that some more optimization to resolve the lag issue was already in-development. Hopefully, the next Patch has the fix for it.

    Thank you, I will try this and hope to see many more great updates to come... if you build it, they will come!
