Constantly? I see one incident a night on a bad night. Usually it's fine though. It's not exactly something that happens every match as you imply. And if it does to you, then the problem is probably with you, not PGI.

Oh the irony of a forum guy saying there's nothing wrong on PGI's end.... in an official announcement thread by PGI acknowledging the very problem.

lol yea I thought that was truly funny.

Player A "Desyncs are happening with great regularity!"
PGI "We know, we apologize and thank you for your understanding, please be patient while we work on this big problem"
White Knight A"The problem is your computer"

Yet, I'm sure the PGI cheerleaders will either ignore that, just stop commenting because they realize they look dumb now, or try to dismiss it. Quite the paradox ain't it?

White Knight "Game is great! Nothing is wrong!"
PGI "We're having a huge issue with desyncs, we apologize"
White Knight "uhm.... uh..... uhm....." *head explodes due to paradox

Saw plenty of rubber banding and client hangs where it unfreezed and I was dead.

Just wanted to weigh in. I get a disconnect about one in five matches. I enjoy playing light mechs, so this generally results in death due to my mech continuing in a straight path into open terrain or out of bounds. The behavior appeared 2-3 weeks ago.

I run a monitor in the background and do not see either a spike in lag or any evidence in packet loss. My Skype session continues to carry perfect audio during the DCs. I do not have this issue with any other games that I am currently playing online. I have three other gaming computers in the house...they have the exact same symptoms. It is not my ISP. It is not my firewall. It is not my rig.

I don't know if the fix is better traffic shaping, more metal, poorly written code, or shutting down a botnet. Honestly...I don't care. With weeks of data (particularly this past weekend with so many people shooting for 10, 20, or 50 wins), your team should know by now exactly where the issue is to be found.

You are in an unenviable position. Your game is f2p, so it attracts legions of entitled loudmouths that learned their manners from either Xbox Live or trolling forums. That said, it would be a great service to your playerbase (particularly those that choose to support your revenue stream), if you would simply state the issue. Transparency is your friend.

I realize that you cannot forgive losses as Riot has done with League of Legends when there are network issues, but I would really appreciate it if PGI would put their best foot forward and at least refund a few days of Premium Time to compensate for the weeks of DCs.

Thank you for listening.

I agree 100% with this. Things have been getting worse not better with every patch and Hot Fix since the Clans. I could play before that without issues and now I get Crashes to Desk top almost every match. if it was happening Before ..then Sure it must Be ME or my ISP. But If I was able to play just Fine before ...How is it My end? I really Like this game..Ive been a Fan of MechWarrior Since I played Table Top and then on into all the Games up to Mech Assault which I never played as I Hate consoles. I dont agree with all the Changes that have happened IE the Nerfs and Module Changes. But I still Like playing the Game. But right now the level of Frustration is huge. Please Fix the Game. I want to Play and would even Pay to Play if you got everything going including the CW....Just Fix it. And in the Process Keep us appraised of the Progress on Fixing it.
Thanks for listening.

You guys ROCK! Very happy with customer service so far, keep it up.

... where is the dislike button,please,someone show me THE BLOODY DISLIKE BUTTON !?

[UBCslayer]

DESYNC, RUBBERBANDING, WARPING MECHS.... yup, it`s still happening, and it isn`t getting any better.


Fix this before I am forced to move onto that ``other`` mech game.

[PappySmurf]

Even worse than the Lag-rubber-banding-DE syncing is the player induced lag shoot some mechs for damage then disconnecting and rejoining I have over 20 screens of players with tags that are doing this and I think it is a huge exploit of the game just the same as being able to sync drop in solo queue is a exploit.

Of course PGI will say (Don't worry fellas working as intended)

[Ghostwolfe]

Other than the brown nosing posts which look like the same idiots who rated the game a "10" on gamespot, I agree with this current round of posts.


Up until the last few weeks I've had zero issues in game besides the occasional spider rubber banding across my screen. No DC's, FPS and ping have all been ok. I know it's not my rig since other games I play have ZERO issues of note. Now I'm getting lag, DC's, and it's visually displeasing and disorienting when that happens.



C'mon PGI. You got your hands on the license to one of the oldest games out there, has a solid fan base, and you need to deliever.

[Nayonac]

To be fair I have only had it once since the data centre move, and I was getting it quite a lot before hand.
So they seem to have improved it at least for me in the last few ays

[Appogee]

My ping increased 5% (to 240) since the Great Server Move.

GG PGI.

[Unnatural Growth]

My ping DOUBLED. I was always, and I mean ALWAYS below 70 ping. Most of the time I was between 50 and 60.

Now my ping is ALWAYS above 100, and hovers between 110-120 most of the time.

Hey thanks PGI for the great new server...

Can we move back to the old one now?

[BLOOD WOLF]

I have not had much issues, Occasionally but not enough to give to concern

[Smokeyjedi]

I notice a more prevalent traffic jam scenario where every mech starts running on the spot.

Noticeable in almost every match i played today

[xWiredx]

I've had far fewer desync/lag issues since the move, and my ping went from an avg. of about 30 to about 37.

On an unrelated note, the client now crashes more for me since the last patch. You win some, you lose some.

You want some bleach for that brown nose?

personally, I see no need for the personal attack... personally I've had no connection issues... well, 2-3 de-syncs in... possibly 40-50 battles... nothing that would make the game unplayable... or warrant personal attacks on players that say they have no issues or connection problems...

go figure...

How nice for you.

Was just responding in kind to how he put his post through.

go figure that out...

[Darth Futuza]

Depends on where I play the game, if I play it at home, I get the desync rubber banding issues about 1/8 games. If I play at school (fiber line, nice fast internet), I have low 50-ish pings and no networking issues.

[Bulletsponge0]

the server migration fixed the problem for me...

instead of having desyncs every other drop, I now get them every drop

mission accomplished PGI
