Packet loss symbols


BENORMOUS

Recommended Posts

Playing IW I've noticed and it's not every game but when ever an explosion goes off near you either grenades or something major like bombardment the game slows down and shows packet loss symbols,I've only just noticed it as I was looking at a clip I made on Xbox yesterday,surely can't be on my side can it?

you play via wifi? playing over wifi is susceptible to packets being dropped!

I have it too Benormous. Every single time an explosion goes off but I don't actually notice any packet loss or lag when them symbols come up.

Its not your side I'm sure of it.

could just be a buggy game, players that have more experience in IW will know the answer. IW is not a game I like! But as I stated playing over wifi will lead to packet loss whatever the game.

Funny you say that BD because I was gaming over wireless last night,fantastic hit reg etc but I've never really noticed the symbols when explosions happen

I play wired and when an explosion happens, I get them PL symbols too. Its the game, them health icons are mostly BS. Even bots have them in custom games lol.

It's not your end Ben, I see those game health icons so often. The game is a mess.

More than likely it's frame drops which are causing "packet loss" symbols

What a mess of a game lol roll on ww2 for more of the same

no, it will not happen in the next cod as it is gonna have a tick rate of 60hz instead of the current 30. :)

I remember Boom and myself testing all sorts of things to understand the symbols, as said earlier the bots have them standard, and it's odd as Iw brought in the symbols and have never came back with there findings as to what they where monitoring, and how or whatever they where going to fix.Frontier I see them alot when grenades are going off, I get the three yellow sometimes then it goes, odd really odd.

Remember, this is Sledgehammer Games we're talking about, the guys who made AW... Remember, AW? lol :)

Remember too they always promise something but are only speaking in half truths.

This will not stop low frame rate issue's in certain areas of the map and when there is lots of action / explosions, your on screen slow down (console frame rate) effects your updates to the server, that is why the algorithm thinks you have packet loss etc.
