*im not very knowledgable on this sort of thing, so sorry if im just spouting incorrect nonsense*
As far as I know, all the servers for this game are hosted in Europe, so people who don't live in or near that place will have significantly worse ping than people who do. I play in the US, and my lag/ping gets pretty bad which makes the game a lot less enjoyable. Something that I think could fix this is if you hosted the game servers in other locations like the US or Asia, so people who don't live near Europe can get better ping. Again, sorry if anything I say here is incorrect, so feel free to correct me if im wrong.
The main solution for that is less players in spawn zones, but that cant be fixed. The only other route is the option to disable particles
maybe they could impose a limit of like 100 players per spawn zone?
ah ok, but I was mostly talking about lag caused by high ping. I thought the further you are from where the servers are hosted, the higher ping you will have?
Judy,
This is partly true, but it causes big problems in games where great accuracy is needed (for example, CS GO) - there games can be losed only due to the fact that one team has a ping of 5, the other has 50.
There are no such variations in our game, so as the guys above suggested, this can often be a problem with your Internet, and also yes - on the respawn where 100+ people can stand, there can be lags with both FPS and drawing.
Therefore, try to improve your internet speed, as well as put smaller graphics settings in places where there are a lot of people at the same time.
Have a great day!
