Isnt it just simply amazing how a game update really shows flaws in Network connections & Players PC's?

There is Numerous posts on the Issue of Lag & the least common of them are the Servers. 9 Times out of 10 it is not a Server realted Issue but rather the Network or the PC that has the lag

so ur saying that Lag can be caused if u have a computer with 208GB and internet with 100mbps?

208Gb of What? Hard Drive Space? The current Ram Max for a High-End PC (Usually a CADD Workstation) is 32 Gb & a 100Mbps Internet connection doesnt guarantee you that thruput on your PC. Also you need to look at the Fact that you do not have a "Direct" connection. There may be lots of hops (Connections between you & the servers with your connection to your ISP being just 1 of them.

Example: PC to Router > Nat thru the Router> Router to ISP> ISP to Internet BackBone> Internet BackBone to other ISP> ISP to Data Center > DC Switches to Routers> DC Routers to Server Switches> Server Switches to Servers - This example has 9 Hops going 1 way, any 1 of which may cause lag. Multiply that by 2 you have 18 hops & if any 1 of those connections drops a Packet of the data you will see lag

A PC NIC is either 10/100/1000 Mbs thruput but then you have half duplex, full duplex auto etc & unless you have a Gigabit (1000 Mbps) Router & Switch you are not fully able to use the 1000 Mbps setting on the NIC but default to 100 Gbps so that in itself would cause some lag. Also the actual System Bus Speed, Memory Speed, Processor & Video card play a big part

amazingly before the update these people didnt have these problem.. stop pointing the finger at the players.. u graphically enhance the game so better pc's are needed to keep this running..
u wanna tell me that lag is always caused by the players end network & pc?
coz everytime it's the same standard answer when ppl complain about lag..

if lag is never on the gameserverside how come:

- that in buddylist ships are changed to avatar coz ppl switch ships the whole time n when players have a lot of buddies this takes up too much bandwith so game becomes late/nonresponsive or laggs.
u switched to avatars so the game server has a lot less impulses/signals to proces?

- a bit the same with the ladder tab.. it normally had to update on the background
so now u have biuld in a feature that u have to update <what just means: retrieve info here> before u see warcores..
this results again in a lot less impulses/data traffic so on gameserver side there is less data traffic <so less pressure on servercpu> and on players end same story?


i see the tricks to cutdown on traffic overall <not saying it's a bad thing to do>.. thats says to me it's not only on player's provider or pc side.
it's also things ingame and on the serverside
