CQ Lag- Beyond a Joke

[slowhand90]

The Lag on this game is getting pathetic. For example, If 2 or 3 X-snipers are grinding close to each other, and im anywhere near, the game crashes. When entering orbit of most planets, espescially after a long flight, say 4-6 mins, I hover around at the gate or planets orbit in limbo, usually for around 45 seconds to 2 minutes. and when your paying for the game that in itself is bad enough, but on CQs, the lag is an absolute joke. The game then become a series of erratic snapshot stills and Im unable to do anything but look at my pod while my health status is still full. And Slitscreen, DONT tell me its my computer, or my internet connection, graphics card, or settings, which seems the usual stock answer I get whenever I moan about this subject as everyone Iv spoken to on this game has the same if not worse problem, no matter where in the world they are situated.
Would you PLEASE sort it Splitscreen.

I would like to add my two-bits to this thread also.

Crashes in the game have INCREASED remarkably for me! Infact the reason I cannot even play CQ or Invasions or any large event is due to LAG-CRASH! If I get too close to lots of action (such as invasions) I lose total control and turn into a POD! Hence the reason why I stay WELL AWAY from them!

Indiscriminate crashes are another problem totally! I have been watching these crashes for about 4 weeks now (since they started to become more frequent). Unfortunately I have been unable to narrow down the trigger for such crashes as the times it occurs ranges from mega intercept kills to doing NOTHING AT ALL (as in just drifting and reading the comments ppl are typing!)!!

I have noticed that if you shoot mantis that someone else has damaged (OS or tank aggro bomb) that can cause an instant crash! Also if I OS TWO lots of interceptors I often crash (I think this must have something to do with my internet connection speed - simply... TOO much info/data going and coming ).

Often, also, I crash when I click on the ground to move with the mouse left or right click. Even selecting items like greens/ bps/ E etc I have crashed.

Personally I think it must be some type of "checksum error" or "buffer over run" with the data as I have found to be the case in other games (and tested this to be so).

Who knows? And I think there is also an inbuilt anti-cheat system in place which contributes to lag and quite likely checksum errors. Remember when this was tested when SOL first came out? I think it has been transformed into a new package. And it happened about 3-4 weeks ago after I noticed my marked INCREASE in *** crashes!

These are my thoughts anyway....

Try blowing up only one lot of interceptor drops at a time to minimize crashes as I find this helps.

Guess 1 time why I stop making Cqs what I loved to do over all, there were no more active CQ'er in my clan than I was, and now I haven't done them for ages.

I simply HATE them now!!

I feel the need to respond here, from Solaria's viewpoint... We had maybe 30 people on a planet and it lagged like crazy and, like usual, I crashed in the cq ship and podded by the time my client loaded back up (I don't know, 20 minutes later). That might just be because SOB and affiliate have 3 CQ ships to our 1, but hey... Another attempt but a few minutes ago, 5 CQ vs. 5 CQ and it lagged a little more, had to be twice as many people... Fix please?

If you ask me it seems that some players rather complain and moan about something that as easily can be due to there own system then to play & enjoy the game.

Oh really? 3/4 of players in game experience the same issue and you think it's from their own system? I have amazing internet connectionn + new laptop, I crashed twice today shooting a behemoth. I still can't believe I died in mars 0,0 ..

I think they should do something about it.
