Let me clarify again...
As I've mentioned, I have a gigabit connection wired to a PS5 using a Cat7 cable, so there is absolutely nothing wrong with my setup from a HW perspective.
When I say that the issue is not with my setup but with the game itself, I mean:
How the online gameplay works:
1. My device to router:
Using a Cat7 cable, the data travels directly through the cable, stable and fast connection with minimal latency (delay).
2. Router to ISP:
My router directs the data packets from my device to the internet using NAT.
3. Routing data to the game server:
When I connect to the game server, my device sends a DNS query to translate the server's domain name into an IP address.
Once the IP address is known, my data packets are routed through the internet.
4. Game server communication:
Data is sent in packets, which are small units of data that include information about actions (moving, etc) and the game state, packets from my device are sent to the server, and packets from the server are sent back to my device.
As I have no issues with my bandwith then I can conclude that main issue are :
- Ping, which is basically the distance to the game server and even with a fast connection, if the server is far away, the data packets take longer to travel.
- Server performance, load, and poor game code optimization, all of which result in a bad online experience.
Is my technical knowledge sufficient to attribute a bad online experience to the game itself?
Is your router compatible with CAT6 or CAT 7 if its 6 then thats the issue
Cat7 cables support speeds up to 10 Gbps and are backward compatible with lower category devices, so there is no issue using them with such devices.
Ok, in order to fully utilize the benefits of Cat7 cables, the entire network infrastructure, including the router, must support Cat7 standards, but I don't think this is a must to play online.
Conclusion, Cat7 cables will deliver the maximum data transmission that your Ethernet setup allows.
I don't get how this can be an issue.
Trust me it makes more of a difference than you think I was using cat 7 i switched to cat 6 as thats what my internet provider suggested and its been a f loads better
As mentioned, technically makes no difference at all—it might just be a placebo effect.
Regardless, it no longer matters; the season is over, and this game remains the worst and most unpleasant experience ever.
As for the game support, it's truly awful...
Good luck with the next title, to anyone brave enough to try the same game with a different look.
