shantzonpoint Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I cannot for the life of me find a game where I'm not way behind. Ever since this last patch the game is god awful for me. I've tried everything I can think of short of joining servers in EU (I'm in USA). I have decent internet 90 up/12 dn and 13ms to server. I never play in a game with a ping over 35ms. I swear this is hindering me more than helpling. Up until a week ago the game played pretty consistent in the Kansas City servers. Now it doesn't matter where I join (Boston, Dallas, Kansas City, Seattle), I'm behind. My stats have plummeted in every game mode I play. The game feels completely off. I can't do anything where before I was a well above average player. Any suggestions would help. For reference, I have an Arris Surfboard modem and wired connection thoughout. I don't have any kids so it's just the wife and I on the network. She doesn't ever use much bandwidth so that doesn't come into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonicBoom Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Some games are awesome, some games are awful. It just depends on what kind of connections get chucked into the lobby with me now. If everyone in the lobby has a decent connection then it plays great, if there are a couple of laggy connections in the lobby (especially if they are half decent players) then it will be horrible. Symptoms of a depleted player-base I would assume. I've noticed that since one of the larger updates about 6 weeks ago the dedi lobbies seemed to open up to lesser connections from further afield (the number of 2/3 bars attest to that), I assume to keep it fast at finding games. I for one would happily wait 30+ seconds for it to properly filter lobby connections but it doesn't. It will always find me a dedi lobby within 5 seconds of hitting 'Go'. But frequently they're not well filtered by connection at all. Assuming that 4 bars (not exactly accurate I know) means roughly the same in BO3 as it did in MW2+3 then I find it hard to believe that connections in Europe have taken a massive dump just for this game - the only alternative is that matchmaking throws virtually any connection into a BO3 lobby just to fill it quickly. On top of this, the short time to kill makes it really obvious when the connection isn't perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy clam Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Like CB said I also believe there are less people playing the game now,throw in the DLC and how that fractures the player base even more and on top of that the forced match making it's a crap shoot at best and not a consistent experience for most of us. I don't play that much anymore but when I do it's still fun but only because I'm running with friends,not because of the way the game plays.But this happens in every title about 7-8 months into it's lifecycle,always hope it won't be... rinse,wash,repeat but usually is.

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 16, 2016 Administrators Share Posted August 16, 2016 If you're using congestion control and Geo-filter to ensure a smooth low ping connection you're doing everything you can from your point of view. I'd recommend moving your home around to get different servers as well as temp banning any terrible ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RL317 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Don't think that's even gonna change unfortunately,gotta love that 3 bar bullet sponge kill you in one shot perk... Got the Peacekeeper today. 9 months in and I finally get a viable weapon drop. I even set up my BO2 class for a bit of nostalgic fun with Ghost, Fast Hands (Dex), Scavenger and Tac Mask... and I'm getting those kind of connections where even the VMP isn't enough to deal with the 3 bar gods who don't average a kill per life usually. Got my ultimate gaming settings on (home in ocean, 25ms ping assist, hyper lane for my PS4 and sliders set for A+ bufferbloat and quality even though I'm the only one using my line) and I've averaged 33% accuracy with it according to my stats on it so far, yet it's not good enough. There's just no hit detection while rocking 9ms to my local server sounds a bit misleading considering the accuracy stat but I'm talking about getting on target before the enemy knows I'm there, staying on target while I pull the trigger, getting two hitmarkers then there's a delay and I drop dead in a frame. Love those laggers who have anti aim assist over them too lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
