Hey guys,

I just bought a new rig and have a GTX 970 installed and running.

Since I started back on MWO after building this I am having serious rubber banding in-games while having my normal to low ping.

Has anyone else come across this or have a fix they might know of? It's a huge pain in the whole that this is happening with a much more powerful machine :-(

[Tristan Winter]

Are you having the same issue in training grounds?

[Viralstrayne]

There is a little bit yeah. The mech will stop and freeze for a second or two then catapult forward. I have tested out ARMA 3 maxed out and not seen any troubles like this.

[orcrist86]

Could be a caching issue.

[kesmai]

Latest drivers for your hardware?

[Viralstrayne]

All drivers up to date, re-installed the drivers again to be sure etc.

I have 16 gigs of ram, an I7 4790k 4GHz and loads of memory as it is a brand new machine.

Ive tried lowering the setting, doing all custom one etc but nothing seems to make a difference :-(

Perhaps the Repair Tool can find something, and it clears cache which may solve your problems.
To get Repair Tool, open the Patcher/Launch window and click the Settings (the gears) icon in the top right and click repair tool. Run it and fix errors if/when they occur.

Another thing you could try is to change each setting individually and see when you don't have issues anymore. Please note that 2 types of AA (MXAA and TXAA I believe) are currently a bit broken. I recommend to test your AA settings first

Edit: I now see you tried changing all settings already...

As Vanguard said, I'd run repair tool. Failing that, try uninstalling the game, then reinstalling.

Then move from medium graphics up to higher, and see if the issues continue.

Could you click "F9" ingame and check the FPS in the corner? What is it running at?

[Viralstrayne]

Yeah Vanguardmk1, i've change everything a few times. Tried taking off hyperthreading there also for the I7 and it didnt do anything.

It was working fine on a AMD card at the start of the week in something with about a 3rd of the specs :-P

[Viralstrayne]

Greenjulius I am running about 116 FPS in a match

Disable anti-virus and PC's firewall (I'm assuming you are behind a router so this is safe) and see if it helps.

Is your router a piece of crap from 5+ years ago? Probably doesn't handle multiple devices connected to it. Get a router that doesn't chug when there are collisions.

Delete your Shaders cache and run the repair tool. Pause the porn download too, and retest. Tell the kids to get of the interwebs for the test. Make it nice and quiet. Disable anything running in the background on your PC, Antivirus or monitoring software.....

[Jeb]

your not having heat issues are you?
I have seen games go into a stutter when the CPU was overheating.

Also if your on the latest video drivers, you may want to try rolling back a few versions just to make sure it's not an issue with the latest driver..

To expand on what Lord Orion said, if you can, bypass the router 100% and see if the problem goes away... things like DoS filters in firewalls/routers could cause issues.

Maybe also check your power mgmt settings? Setting that to performance might help if it's set to low power or something?

That's the thing... Rubber banding is caused by poor latency. The training grounds however shouldn't exhibit these issues if it's latency.

I'd definitely do repair tool if you haven't already.

[Viralstrayne]

Newish router which has 2 channels, never had issues with it even with 3 / 4 devices on it. Going to try knocking off the fire wall and running a match again

Trying the repair tool now also. Speed at the modem tonight is 65 down, 25 up

I just had a thought come up... does it seem to be a hard drive issue? Are you running torrents or something hard drive intensive in the background?

Does the game seem to freeze, start back up fine, then freeze again randomly?

[DjPush]

Are you on a wireless connection?

The game will load up fine, get in...bla bla bla then when I got to move with the lance or head off / take it shot it just stops for maybe one to two seconds. It then fires me forward as the game 'catches up' to where I should me.

I have a new samsung SSD which I have installed it on so unless MWO doesnt like SSDs I am not sure what else is wrong with the drive

[Mystere]

Here's something I discovered. Check if Stereoscopic 3D is on in your NVIDIA control panel. For some reason MWO acts funny with that on and you are not using 3D in MWO.

I am running a SSD just fine so it shouldn't be that.

Here are my PC's stats for reference (hopefully it helps).
