Wake Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Hi I am someone who plays CoD 95% of the time in private matches by playing Gamebattles matches or Wagers on UMG, but something I've always noticed is that my connection feels so different from when I'm hosting a private match to playing on a low ping public match. Now as far as I know it shouldn't be this way because I am the host of the private match. But it does, when I'm playing a public match (which inst my host by the way) I feel such a smoother connection and the game feels so different. I would love to hear from some top networking guys on an explanation because I just don't get it, the game should feel great for me if I have no delay because I'm host but its not. I actually feel like I'm on a delay when I'm hosting like I'm playing off something else instead.
abc123 Posted October 2, 2016 Posted October 2, 2016 what you are feeling is called lag compensation... here is a huge detailed description of it: http://forum.netduma.com/topic/16499-networking-lag-compensation-and-hit-detection/

Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted October 3, 2016 Administrators Posted October 3, 2016 You are connected to everyone else in the game so if their connection isn't the best you will likely feel it a lot worse than another player. When playing pubs you're connected to the dedicated server so it doesn't fluctuate as much.
abc123 Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 I fully understand lag comp, but what I don't get is why my host feels awful compared to host. Hey Wake, I was giving you the answer, Lag Compensation is a two-way path...you being host actually means you will suffer the worse end of lag comp. This is explained in the above linked post.
b00stg0d Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 your connection as host is drawn upon for upload and download for every player in the hosted match plus you will received the greatest lag compensation of all since as host you will have a base ping of 0ms. give or take.
