Since this patch my ping is also raised from a stable 100ms to 150-200ms and I am experiencing slight rubber-banding for the first time ever which makes this game not enjoyable or unplayable at the worst. So yet again a game killing patch.

Looks like PGI just does not care.

I would normally run consistantly at about 120-140 ping, but since patch I've been spike extremely often to 380-400 with very few drops below 260. I'm playing, but it's frustrating with the inconsistancy and rubberbanding gong on, both of myself and targets.

crazy pings (triple my normal 54 ping) and lotsa sessions lost. W/e was going to get the 3 day premium but its a waste for me. :sadface:

Glad to see I'm not the only one. Been looking at pings of people in game. There are at least 5+ people every game who are experiencing ping fluctuations.

From all different geographical locations as well. I've polled people during game and we had some Aussies, some Europeans and some Americans all having the issue.

So it has to be on either PGI's pipe supplier, or the servers themselves.

Either way, it makes for tough games. Even worse in my lights as it seems the faster you go, the more rubber banding you get. I'm trying to finish off my spiders at the moment, and I have died numerous times to rubber banding or getting caught on the terrain warping back and forth.

Before patch I always had a ping in the 59-62 range... always..
Now it is always between 150 and 180. Makes the game not worth playing.
I know it is nothing on my end since all other games/computers are fine.
Just this game changed after the last Patch. I am in central Virginia (Charlottesville)
and I mostly play late night / early morning. Please give me some hope about this issue, I have spent alot of real money and now I feel RIPPED OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yea, I also paid for the 3 days of premium time before I realized this new problem.
Can you get your premium time deferred until the game is working right again, or a refund would be better.

That's a very, very reasonable request that I doubt you'll see granted.

Occasionally i encounter some inconsistencys of the "Time Dilation" of the game.
In some matches it seems Mech turn around in a "fast Motion" like a Stalker turning 180 dfegrees in half a second and pulse laser not doing "wup wup wup wup wup" but "brwwp" while on the other hand your own gameplay suddenly slows down in midmovement and its as if something roots you for 1 or 2 seconds until a severe hit occours to you.

I dont know if this is a sign of Connection Troubles or a big Serverload but it makes the gameplay somewhat irritating.

Been playing the game since december 2012, and have had a steady ping of 100-110 with occasionaly spike, since last patch ping rate of 180-300 with massive spikes in lag now. games getting to hard to play now, especially with the huge increase in rubber banding.

Even on a european server you would have increased ping because its the game that is causing it.

[Exoth3rmic]

My ping is up 50%, but more irritatingly it will vary another 40% up and down during a match.

I notice more rubber banding when i'm playing US players who have pings sub 100ms.

Either way, its highly unsatisfactory at this time.

[MentalPatient]

Im starting to wonder if PGI even test these patches before release

For me the ping is not the problem. The game has been borderline unplayable ever since the april 2nd patch due to extremely low FPS. I start to doubt they are going to do anything about it.

[BR0WN_H0RN3T]

I've had 2 artefacts occurring regularly since the patch, pretty much every game or 2:

1. Random screen freezes. I need to alt-tab out then back in but even then there's normally a big delay.
2. big fps drop. I would comfortably floating between 45-60-fps per game, averaging about 50 fps. My range now fluctuates from 20-55fps, averaging at about 40fps.

No changes at my end since the last patch.
