Glitchy

The game has been very glitchy in terms of connection issues. It is not only myself but every one of my friends. This is very annoying.

    He's talking about lag.  ...not your typical (more acceptable) online gaming lag but to the point gameplay becomes glitchy/unplayable for competitive play.  Glitch is the true action occurring... for example, lag might cause a delay when your bullets fly or you're pressing the trigger but the same scenario with horrible lag will cause a variety of glitches.... bullets not firing at all, hit points not registering on your machine (even though you SEE damage on your opponents), etc....  

    For a truly competitive gamer, it RUINS the game (and is the very reason I'm not gaming more right now).  I am one of the few that enjoy Cats V Dinos and on this current portal event, glitch hit me my 7-8th game.  My first 6 games were smooth sailing but after that, the lag got too glitchy for me to enjoy.  To give you an idea of the lopsided results, I averaged 8 to 12 kills per match with one death or less and after the lag set in, it was all I could do to go 1 kill to 1 death.  MANY times, I'd get kills that didn't register for me (as in, I'd see the death icon and hear the sound but not get credit for the kill - not even an assist)...!  

    It's truly a game/community killer.

    (Just to clarify, my internet is fiber 100/100 and I test drove the 1,000 download for a week and the gaming experience was the exact same... there's issues with GW2 servers).

    @spIash_damage Just because your console tuner and mouse are acting up, doesn’t mean you need to get into your conspiracy theories.  Anyone number 2 on the leaderboard always has something to say.

    Having this lag issue for a while now. Unknown cause. Confirmed to exist by multiple experienced players.

    Its not simply some lag, its lag spikes. Sometimes eating inputs so skills don't activate or certain projectiles come out twice from the delay.

    Don't know if EA/Popcap are already working on it or want it that way.

    Convenient argument for someone who sits in first place with a second place performance....!

    (Those who don't know - the guy in first place is dwooten's PS4 account.)

    Now the forums are glitching; this picture is HOSING ME!

    No matter the orientation I set it.... It turns left or right.

    I digress (with a hefty facepalm).

    I noticed this today as well playing Europe Team Vanquish on PC.  My PC's a beast but I play on low settings to squeeze out more framerate and both the disc and cpu were railing randomly throughout playing so my guess is one of the updates added this problem.
