Re: ZPG problems?

I spent a bit of time leveling up my Soldier and had no issues at all in Ops and a couple of games in Turf Takeover had me at the top of the team despite a late entry so no issues there either- but going into Giddy Park gives a completely different experience, but that’s also the only area where I experience significant lag.

    @realitysquared I played a lot more Ops (split-screen again) yesterday with Soldier & had a lot less problems, but playing Snapdragon with a couple of others doing the same was horrific - effects slowed us down so the game felt like a video being replayed frame by frame.

    So the solution stands that it is lag rather than ability issue. Overall, lag seems worse in most areas for me with the arrival of new players & it may just be that split-screen is making that way worse.

    It seems that, when playing on split-screen and the game is lagging significantly, it gets to the point that abilities just don't activate, primary fire does not shoot and you can't sprint properly! It is very annoying to deal with, hopefully if split-screen lag is dealt with at some point, this will happen a lot less often!🤔

    Not lag.

    I can play Ops solo (in PvE areas) and still experience all of the Soldier rate of fire issues.

    I have so many videos of Soldier bugs I can’t explain but don’t care to spend the time transferring and uploading video.

    Feels like servers that need to be rebooted and/or an issue with virtual memory, if games function the same as other networks?

    @ToastedSarnie The only place I personally experience crippling lag is in Giddy Park- in Ops there are occasional glitches where everything disappears for a split second and then immediately pops back up through the ground but whatever packet loss or lag that represents isn’t enough to disrupt my gameplay at all.

    In other areas, like Ops, PvE and Turf Takeover I do get severe breakage in the audio whenever things get too busy or the action gets too concentrated- animation is fine but all the sounds get scratchy with gaps in the audio. Before they reduced TT to 8v8 the maps with a payload to push would suffer from severe stuttering just with the animation of the payload if a large number of players were clustered around it pushing.

    It's very strange, for sure! I've never really had a major problem with Soldier before this weekend though - odd primary stutters perhaps & occasional non-rocket jumps but have never experienced anything to this degree. But, I've also never used him split-screen other than in regions before & similar problems with Snapdragon makes me think the majority is split-screen lag.

    I've reported this in another person's post about split-screen lag under Technical Issues - the mysterious workings of servers in this game or any other are completely beyond me!! 😂
