Don't bother playing as Juliana

[riverslq]

The netcode is utterly atrocious on pc.
Apparently the invasion mode works great on ps5, but not so much on pc.

lagging, rubberbanding, totally unplayable unless you get lucky.
and so far i'm 0/5 on luck.

From doing a quick search on reddit, its definitely a widespread pc problem.
So, if you want to play as Juliana? Drop the steam version and play it on ps5.

5-7 minutes of queue time, (despite 10k players and a 1v1) rubber banding all over the place, objective is always for colt to hack a certain object. Repetitive and hardly works

I turned online mode off as juliana players kept slaying me when i made a crap load of progress.

I’ll turn it on when i want a challenge

The first time I played Juli I got lucky because I think I invaded a brand new player. Poor dude. But the second time, I got a Colt with a mask I didn't recognize, which led me to believe he's been playing for a while and he got me. Have tried to enter a friend's game and can't, so a bit disappointed in that so far. It appears they've progressed enough to allow Julianna to enter.

Yeah, it rules on PS5. I only had one match of about 10 where I got matched with some Chinese guy on a VPN, that was unplayable.

i dont think ive invaded someone without rubber banding once yet. how is it this bad i cannot comprehend

Damn this sounds like a great time. I mean who doesnt love going through SAME objectives for hours only to get killed?

You can get invaded multiple times on the same level and its so freaking annoying if you are trying to make progress and you get an elite player who pile drives you into the ground.

What do you mean multiple times, you can only get invaded once per map/time per run. Example if you get invaded in complex morning you cannot get invaded again on that map until you beat it or die for the run.
Also I feel like certain event prevent you from being invaded.
I've noticed that most morning you will be less likely to be invaded while at afternoon and night are prime time invasions.

You definitely can be invaded more than once in a loop, as infinite variations of juliana and cole exist

That false you can only get invaded a total of 4 times per loop once per map in said loop. I would know since I couldn't invade one of my friends after They got invaded by a player.

Those 10k players, how many of them are from Europe, China, or Australia?

[riverslq]

no idea, but if they don't start splitting up people by regions or ping times, its going to be crap forever.

For some reason playing from Asia, I cannot invade a friend who's in U.S. Suspect matchmaking is region-locked.

Not only is only once per map, but I'm pretty sure you can only get invaded on maps that have Visionaries present, so no morning invasions.

I still remember how smooth CS 1.6 was 20 years ago. How instant and satisfying the headshots were. With like 20-30 people on some backwater home made server. Meanwhile this trash can't handle 2 (TWO) people with modern technology and a multi billion dollar company backing it up.

Sad to see how technology has regressed.
