After the patch, there has been a significant increase in lag and stuttering, even though my ping is very low. Also it happens a lot that i hit an enemy and I see the hit marker, but no damage registers. This happens alot during the match and is really breaking the game for me right now. Before the patch these issues were non existent. Anyone having the same problems?

i posted the following in bugs & issues section i suggest following up on the thread there because it seems to me that it is there it belongsthe post:I am experiencing a veriety of glitches on PC that directly influence the core gameplayI have already checked all my hardware and software multiple times and I can easily run the game at ultra setting at steady 60 Hz..I have a very fast internet connection and my ping is registered around 45(in the game). I have forwarded ports on my router and disabled upnp. I have not experienced any similar problems on any other application or game.1) Generaly unresponsive to controls, for example i have to press the ability key several times before something happens. This makes character that rely heavily on abilities unplayable (like orange or chomper)2) Cannot seem to hit the targets consistently even if i see the "bullets" passing through them. This is especially true for explosives like the zpg. I can hit a group enemies dead on but then they get usually low damage or none at all. I on the other hand usually get shot around corners and explosives like the zpg always hit me dead on (even if i am sure i took cover in time). I have the feeling that other players percieve me as standing still even though i am dodging and jumping for cover.3) Frequent invisible and soundless chilibombs and burrowing chompers that do not leave a trail or incoming invisible ZPG or other missiles are other worries.4) Damage will not register in a consistent way. For example i can get hit a couple of times untill i am down at 50% left and then the next shot will die. This is regardless of which enemy type I currently fight even if they can not possibly do that much damage with one shot or two shots . This happens so often that i am sure i am not hit by multiple enemies.5) When interactions between players take place on the screen I experience something like a formidable decrease in FPS although my registered FPS is constant at 60 here. Also the camera seem to stutter irraticly around. Interactions can be like bumping in to another player or being hit by enemies. The more and faster things happening the worse the problem. For example when a scientist teleports towards me for an attack and jumps around while shooting the game stutters crazily (steady frame rate on my end though).All of these issues makes for a very unsmooth experience with matches that seldom seem fair (not regarding any character imbalances or other intentionally designed aspects of the game).

Before the patch these issues were non existent. Anyone having the same problems? Even before the patch. This really makes single shot characters with low ammo count very useless. I've literally have upgraded my home network, port forwarded every single port that needs to be forwarded and I still have a very high ping, along with long load times, and major lag spikes.

Yes this has been happening to me like crazy! trigger is red but no damage, meanwhile they're able to hit me!For the love of god fix this please.

This has been dreadful on Ops all weekend. Lag, disconnections, crashes. Even when it's telling me my shots are hitting, it still takes a ridiculous amount to kill a simple browncoat or weed.Corn is suffering the most. The game falls to bits when it gets busy and his abilities just don't work. But every character is suffering and this is every match. Some worse than others but none acceptable. Crazy difficulty is now finally genuinely crazy, but not for the right reasons... When you try to escape to safety, the game just rubber bands you back into the mire!And it's not my connection or anything at my end because Turf Takeover is running fine (well, it might crash here and there but no abnormal lag issues).

Yes please fix the hit problem! It's so frustrating

zen cactus has hit detection bug.
Popcap/EA
- every balancing have a big problem.
- popcap's balancing ability is very poor (compare to Call of Duty series)
- every character need more DPS.(like a GW2 beta)
- more add character with accuracy and long range
- support split screen for multiplayer game mode!
- I will never buy PvZ GW3!

Recent two days i sometimes have a glitch where i don't see the enemy (in Garden/Graveyard Ops). Also, earlier today i had a new tasks list, as scheduled. Right now i logged in again and have a new batch of tasks. Anyone else having that? Not that i mind the new tasks, since it will give me extra stars.
