ZPG problems?

Was playing Ops earlier in split-screen as Soldier & was finding about a third of the time that my ZPG fire action wouldn't complete.

The Soldier would bend forward, sometimes I would get the sound effect & the * backwards but the shot itself didn't appear to happen, others Soldier would go from bent forward to standing straight up with nothing at all in between.

Has anyone else had similar? Not sure if this is just to do with the horrible on/off lag you get in split-screen or a more general problem with abilities that's been mentioned in other posts . . .

    @ToastedSarnie I had massive problems with the ZPG while in Giddy Park at a time when the server lag was hideously high- there was breakage and desyncing with either parts of, or the entire, animation and sound effects.

    In some cases the ZPG animation would not execute and the audio would lag behind by several seconds.

    There's also issues with the fire rate of the Soldier's primary weapon.

    When the sever lag is absent I don't experience the same issues

    @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!! 😂
