Lag switchers are back

Like to topic says. Sudden 1400+ ping and and the game completely stopping for half a sec for their team to score or ours to fail at it. The thing is i could identify one of them but i have no proof. How could i have? Judging his messages he sent me, its obvious. Any ideas proving he is one of the low lifes would be appreciated

    Hi there, @HearFailure 

    Did this happen just once? Chances are far higher that you had a lag spike rather than someone lag switching. That is far more likely on P2P connections instead of the dedicated servers that WoC games are played on.

  • Lol it's better if E.A just tells the truth. lag switching is a problem and and E.A can't compete with  the cheaters and if they can they fail to handle the problem either they are in on the cheat and hack..... BBB has so many complaints on EA it's not a coincidence. EA does not have security in place to protect the player from cheaters and hackers. Be very careful when playing EA games

    Only just noticed this or I would have posted sooner.

    My team has definitely been on the receiving end of nasty ping with the puck only for things to improve when the other guys have it though it's never been 1,400 ping severe. I don't/can't believe true lagswitching is still a thing nowadays but there are most def times strange things coincidentally happen.

  • The lag cheating is RIFE in this game. EA lie about it. Go to eBay and buy you a lag switch, it’s the only way to play nowadays. EA should sell their ultimate edition with an included lag switch.

    This doesn't happen in WoC due to playing on dedicated servers. It can happen in Online Versus since those games are not played on our servers. It's possible there are issues with your connection. If you want to go through some troubleshooting, let me know.

    @Gitcho_Azwoopd 

    What exactly is happening? Also, what system do you play on and is a wired or wireless connection being used?

  • PC wired

    -lag heightens when inside opponents goal box

    - passes are greatly underpowered regardless of how long button is held 

    - lag between controller input which often causes player to drift out of bounds while running

    - sprinting impeded by lag input, cannot outrun players even when completely clear. 
    - extremely powerful goalkeepers 

    not sure what you can suggest to fix at least one of these problems but I’m open to hear about it. Playing online vs playing squad battles feels like 2 different games due to lag.
