Re: Lag compensation ruining multiplayer


[re: Alnath] [link to this post]
 
As I think you know, I've been posting in Fibre today to try to get more info on the interleaving controls on FTTC.

It won't make a massive amount of difference, but getting my ping to 35-40 rather than 9-10 would be a start. It has dramatically reduced my attention to MW3. I'm now only playing online for co-op and private matches with friends, but the code is applied to that aswell. The only difference being I can choose the people I play with so as not to exacerbate the problem. It killed BF3 for me on the spot I'm afraid. frown

If you are anything like me you will get massively frustrated with listening to people talk about 20 kills and 1 death, knowing full well as we do that the connection acieved that score, not the player. Getting them to admit it is another matter. wink

I hope this gets sorted as I have a ps3 and the reason for getting infinity was for gaming. Bt even say on the adverts "get the edge"! X box otherwise I guess.

Question?


[re: deleted] [link to this post]
 
For those with low latency FTTC, does the lag compensation mess you up when playing against other low latency users?

Any sign of acceptance of an issue by developers?

Any one on Virgin Media seeing the same, or is latency not so low to be an issue with faster cable products. Surprised that soem Be users never complain, as they have 9 to 15ms latency very often, but perhaps not enough upstream to get picked as the host I guess.

I probably have an average delay of one second. If you shoot somebody inside a building, you die, then the replay will show him exiting the building and shooting you! My accuracy in survival mode is slightly over 30%. Online it is less than 9%. You can blame someone for being slow against human competition, but that doesnt alter their accuracy. My line wasn't good at 0.5 mbps with a 25ms ping on ADSL. It's much worse now on 38/10 with a 9-10ms latency.

I don't know if it's the compensation code or just poor matchmaking. But the only response I have seen from the developer is that the slower the latency, the bigger the advantage that player has. Getting acgame on a console with similar latencies is random at best. Even mercenary TDM suffers and that doesn't allow parties, sonthat doesn't say much for the matchmaking.

Console or PC?

No issues here on fastpath FTTC. BFBC2, BF3 & source games are very smooth (PC).

No issues on the PC and I haven't seen a single complaint from anyone else. It might be worse on the console but I think some just use it as an excuse.

You could try googling and you will find plenty of debate. To the gamers who are suffering the effects, whatever the cause, that is a deliberately incitive statement.

You could be constructive and show a little empathy for fellow gamers, or alternatively keep your pointless opinion to yourself.
