Thread: .3 Second Positional Update Delay (Requesting Dev Response)

You sound pretty hostile to me.

People complaining about the lag issues aren't riding their first rodeo. We've played other online games without this lag. I've played other new MMOs that suffered from problems like this.

Denialism is not helping the game. I sincerely hope Square doesn't dismiss their netcode, animation delays, graphics engine, whatever problems as merely random complaints. It's borderline game-breaking given the mechanics they've programmed in.

Please tell me how this is hostile...

So have all you people tried anything to fix this issue yourselves? I mean it is all well and good pointing the finger at SE but it would effect everyone if it was something SE could fix.
Why would some people lag and other not lag?
I am in the UK and i can get out of circles without problem. I do not lag either unless it is a really busy area and that is normal for an MMO.
Have you guys tried turning your game graphics down as low as it can go for instance?
How about plugging your router into the Master Socket (for phone line users)
Just because lots of people lag doesn't mean you are all suffering from the same cause.
How about moving cordless phones away from routers?
Not using wireless?
Even mobile phones can effect things.

This is not hostile, this asking straight forward questions. Not everybody has the same level of knowledge. Offering help is now a crime is it? Just because some people are effected by the issues in this thread are you suggesting that it is impossible for someone to stumble into the thread and mistake all the talk of lag and mistake it for some other easy to fix problem?

Again, your denialism is annoying beyond belief.

I can assure you I've played WoW, Rift and SWTOR on this comp without significant lag issues. This game, no. There are lag spikes, there are animation delays, there are unregistered actions, there are problems.

These problems are very similar to what I saw in the very early days of SWTOR. So I have every reason to believe it's a fixable issue on Square's end.

I have no reason to believe you, and you have no reason to suggest that other people are somehow at fault for their lag, throwing out obvious suggestions that aren't helpful at all.

If you have an actual suggestion that could cause lag in just this game and not every other online activity, please suggest it. In the meantime, your denialism offends me.

1 game being treated as P2P while all others are not could cause problems in one game leaving all others fine.
Also if all other game servers are your own country and you have defective hardware this could hide lag that would show up far more on a server outside your own country.
Also i was not saying that there was not a delay on SE end. It is well documented. I only pointed out that some people may stumble into this thread and stop looking for fixes.

Dude, enough. This thread is not about network lag. Unfortunately many people keep using that word. Lag != Position update delay. I could plug directly into their hubs in the data center and the position update delay would still be a thing. It is a thing for everyone. EVEYRONE!

So people coming to this thread to comment who are effected by the design flaw more than others, can we please stop using the word Lag here. It gets inane useless comments like the ones from this user, which in a thread about network latency would actually be relevant. Lets call it PUD if we need to refer to it in three letters.

Personally my game play is largely unaffected, mostly because I get 90 FPS almost everywhere. Even when my system bogs my FPS does not dip low enough for any frames to be lost. People with lower end pcs that suffer frame loss will be very effected by this.

Well that was what i was trying to get at. People throwing the word lag around. Coming into here and thinking their lag is to do with the delay. Which is why i was asking people to do simple checks. Instead i get hostility and now you are gonna start on my case as well? lol

I know the thread isn't about network lag. If you read all of my posts you would see that.
