Lags on Ghost Town, Surge and Mass Destruction

Re: Lags on Ghost Town, Surge and Mass Destruction

Levithan comes and goes. Infact if your on the USA team your fine. Once on MEC on Levithan for some reason the lag starts in. Not all the time again this is random. Thats why I think its model related.

Some people should read the post. The lag is in the chopper only. For the most part SF is lag free for me. I don't have any problems. Except for Surge(Happen the most on this map), Mass (rare but happens enough to be annoying), Levithan( most of the time it just lags if you get in the apache on the MEC Team), Ghost town(very rare), all of those maps give it. It comes in 3 different stages.

Re: Lags on Ghost Town, Surge and Mass Destruction

The only time I have lag on Ghost Town is when I initially spawn but it is normally okay after a few seconds. The same initial lag also shows up with Warlord but the rest of the maps are fine from start to finish. I do not have a high end system just a P4 3.2 Ghz 1gig RAM 250gig HDD 17" LCD monitor and a Radeon X300 128mb video card on a 512kbs connection with all video settings set to low but scaling set to 100%. However, I do not fly choppers at all so that would be the cause of the problem the rest of you are experiencing.

The main concern I have since the release of the 1.3 patch is CTD and server crashes. Yesterday I experienced 12 such crashes and it always happens when I'm having a good round and clocking up some decent scores. I do hope the 1.4 patch comes out soon but I'm not expecting miracles just more issues and crashes when/if it does come out.

If there are any Aussies out there you can get potted by me on the internode servers 17 - 19 most evenings .

Re: Lags on Ghost Town, Surge and Mass Destruction

I don't have lag on either side on Leviathon flying the Apache. Never had a problem from Mec either stealing the chopper or after we get the flag it is ours. I really only lag in the chopper in Surge, but like I said, it really depends on the server. I have been on 64 play games with an ok ping that have not lagged, but been on 16-18 player games with a good ping (still 64 player map) that lagged horribly. It hasn't mattered whether I had a gunner or not, whether there was one or more people with bad pings, etc.

Re: Lags on Ghost Town, Surge and Mass Destruction

Try playing Levithan as often as I do. When it does happen on Levithan, its rare, and it isn't no where near as bad as it gets on surge. It comes in different forms.

Re: Lags on Ghost Town, Surge and Mass Destruction

Lizard, hate to break it to you, but I actually have more than twice as many hours on Leviathan as you...not that it matters. And my high score flying the chopper on that map is is more than 2.5 times your high score. The only time I lag is when I crash and there are other vehicles and arty going off. However, the lag is only after I die, not when I am flying.

Re: Lags on Ghost Town, Surge and Mass Destruction

Yes - I get these lags on some maps and not on some others. Maddening!

Re: Lags on Ghost Town, Surge and Mass Destruction

I only get Hind lag on Ghost Town and not the other Spetsnaz maps. Even without lag, it's a POS.

Well Levithan is a rarely played map. I doubt your any better of a pilot then me. Levithan is easy to get a high score in the apache on. Its just not played enough.

Besides that ths has absolutely nothing to do with you lagging and me not. Why you don't lag on levithan is beyond me but it'll happen. Its been said by to many people here that the problem EXIST. So its not like its anything to do with system specs or anything of that nature. Immunity flys Levithan, and has had it. He has more hours then me by alot, and twice the score i've had on levithan, and hes ranked 13 in the chopper. So its not just me that gets the lag.

Levithan is a rare occasion for me. If I ever get its not near as bad is some of the things i've had on surge, or mass. Mass is also rare, but does happen alot more often then Levithan. Surge lags the most for me, and I've had all different forms of lag.

Diving down, or doing anything lags. However Iron Gator is not a map I lag on.

I never said I was better than anyone. You were the one who responded to a post saying "try playing Leviathan as often as I do." You were making it sound like you were the only one who plays Leviathan. Not that it matters or demonstrates my skills, but my high score on Leviathan is also higher than Immunity's for both US and Mec. He has a few more hours than me on Leviathan and obviously has way better chopper stats.

My ranking and K/D are nothing spectacular since most of my chopper time has been on regular maps where I am almost always the pilot. My gunners get most of the kills and points while I am left with measly assists, random kill and the deaths. When I fly on SF, I end up flying solo more often and do most of the killing with the rockets (no I am not a solo TV exploiter). I prefer soloing on Leviathan as I can rack up more kills based on the huge advantage the pilot has over the gunner with the visuals.

In every post you seem to say that I have a crap pc, or its hardware related. I am getting frustrated that you aren't see that this is a issue with SF, that has been here since the release of SF.

I looked and couldn't find your stats.

Re: Lags on Ghost Town, Surge and Mass Destruction

Find the post that said you had a crap pc and quote it. I asked questions. There is obviously an issue with SF. To say lag hasn't been addressed would be extreme. The game plays significantly better than it did when it was first released.

Having said that, what makes you think they are ever going to do anything about it. Look at the activity level of these forums. Look at the number of ranked servers. The haven't and won't add any SF maps. That haven't focused on any SF enhancements or fixes. Regardless, as much as you hate it, you have put in a fair amount of time.

There are similar situations on regular maps as well. Daqing and a few other are notorious for inducing lag, especially when flying or gunning in a chopper.

Re: Lags on Ghost Town, Surge and Mass Destruction

I am telling you I have never lagged once in the gunner seat. The TV missile a few times would LAG when I fired it in vanilla. However it wasn't to bad.

I never said that your exact words but you keep wanting to pin this on hardware. Its annoying, that because you've never gotten lag on a map I have in SF, it magically doesn't exist, and just doesn't happen.
