bagsta69 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hi yall, Well for the first time in around two weeks I got a p2p host last night in the Netherlands, Ping 35-40 ms game play smooth as.... I even got a 3 KDR in one game and positive every game During the day it was the usual suspects of dedicated servers and the game was awful, Has anybody else experienced anything similar?

A7Legit Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I played at 2:30am my time until 3:40am and it was the worst, dedicated server in Adelaide (AU) absolute trash. I rage quit after dying 6 times in a row in a matter of 40 seconds. It's been almost 4 weeks since I cannot find a P2P host. I just hate the game now. Glad you had some good games, but I'm ready to abandon all things Sledgehammer Games from here on out, I really dislike this mob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsta69 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Aww man that sucks, it's crazy and unpredictable, During the day it can be real nasty and then mostly at night even connecting to servers and friends in the States from the UK the game is playable. Usually I can tell in the first 3 or 4 games what the session is going to be like and if it's horrible ill just bail and try later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bagsta69 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Sometimes I have a mare on them too then just walk away from it and when I try again a few hours later no problem, No rhyme or reason to it at all but it is a pain in my shiny metal butt!!!!!

ltr7 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Is anyone running the new patch on X1, it supposedly had some connection fixes. I thought maybe someone noticed any differences on that system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ca11mecowboy Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I played for an hour last night before I kicked a hole in the wall, threw my controller across the room, lit my face on fire and put it out with an ice pick. If they did anything to fix the connection it's not apparent to me. I only got games on the dedicated servers and it was choppy as hell. I did notice a big difference in the weapon balancing though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ca11mecowboy Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Xbox1 had great pings too (20-30 ms). I was kind of optimistic about the patch but didn't notice anything that made the game run better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toby jugs Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 was playing earlier on ps4 , it was impossible not to be tractor beamed onto a dedicated server and even though ping was good i had the worst session of all time. it was an uphill struggle not to go seriously negative and only managed to go >1 kd once in about 15 games , i switched off in disgust.

Akic Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Unfortunately getting a good ping to a dedi is no guarantee of a good game. Had awful games with 20ms pings and awesome ones at 50ms. Some weird net code / lag comp going on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsta69 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Agreed, lobbies been awful tonight so switched off geo filter and friend invited me to his party east coast USA, game played a lot smoother and better than a 35ms ping lobby on a dedi over here in blighty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsta69 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Its as if they keep messing about with something, one day games are great and smooth then the very next day its all stuffed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A7Legit Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I think SHGames has the worst netcode algorithm ever and that's the problem. They should stick to just doing single player campaign games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drock678 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I tried playing a little last night. PS4 TDM was unplayable. Let me preface this by saying I could be totally wrong, but I believe a host is selected then players connect to the host and if possible you are placed on a dedi that is close to everyone. This is what i believe happened last night and I should probabaly test this more thoroughly tonight to be sure. When the game is selecting a host a big circle appears that i can rate but you have to be quick. I assume this is a host everyone connects to first. Next we are put on a dedi verified by not being able to exclude as host. After playing the game it was horrid the connection was not smooth at all even though i play on this dedi regulary and it always pings 25-30ms. Well luckily I still had the person we all connnected to before the game selected, when i pinged them it was 80-100ms and riddled with lag spikes. I will further test this tonight but could be the explaination as to why the game experience keeps fluctuating from great to poor even though we are playing on a stable dedicated connection. I would ping the rateable host before you are sent to a dedi to see if these results are common. To compound things good hosts are no longer playing which makes for a perfect storm of frustration. Just a theory as with most things I am not an expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsta69 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 I started out a bit sketchy last night and kept getting put on that dedi Germany/Netherlands area. I asked on here and was advised by Fraser to leave it 2 minutes so that the R1 loses the servers on the map then try again, I did this putting the bad dedi outside the geo filter and lowering the PA to 35ms. Best gaming experience I have ever had connecting to the dedi on South coast of the UK. If it happens again try not connecting to a game for a couple of minutes and see if it connects you to a different host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
