Right. The lag is officially back again. Absolute Shame this keeps happening.

The last time I dipped out of the game was because lag and server issues made the game not just unplayable but I would argue made it flat out broken. Like, there was no joy just frustration to have there. Ridiculous part here was that I did not have those issues on release (though many players experienced them).

I am also not someone that needs a game to have five billion hours of content and upgrade and grind goals. If the core gameplay is good, in this case the smiting of the mutant and heretic, praise be the emperor, in impressive and varied environments I'd be happy. I leave the act of analyzing the fun out of every detail of every game to others.

But there was no core aspect of the game that wasn't gravely ♥♥♥♥♥♥ by the server, network and performance issues.

It was a central part of my then Steam Review which listed every issue I encountered. That was earlier this year.

Now, I like the 40k universe, the game genre of these coop shooters. I am also not someone that doesn't give second chances. If the overall community states that efforts have been made I'll be open and check in on the game again. I want games to succeed.

So a few weeks ago I went back into the game and found that most everything that was an issue to me was fixed. I was so far that I was clearly thinking I need to revise my review.

Until this week. It is not even remotely as bad as beginning of this year but it still makes the game more or less unplayable.

I get:

Ghost shots - I shoot my gun, the gun makes the animation no shot goes out enemies may or may not be hit. Especially egregious when you use slower firing weapons like plasma weapons. If you used plasma it also makes the weapons heat hard to manage with the heat percentage going all over the place.

Damage Spikes from invisible enemies.

Slow down from being attacked by invisible enemies.

Being teleported around and gravely wounded because to the servers eyes some special enemy had taken a shine to me and the server failed to inform me about it.

Etc and so on.

Worst is that this puts me on the bad side of other players. Which is understandable because my involuntary failings wastes their time trough issues that they do not experience. They then have to deal with a lagged out player that can't hit ♥♥♥♥ because what I see and what they see does not quite match.

Not even sure why I am explaining this. Its lag. Most basic of the issues,number 1 Priority to fix when it comes to these kind of games. And it is happening again.

I do not care if it is the newest updates. That is not on me to consider. It doesn't matter. Keep your game playable.

I can not emphasize enough how disappointing and frustrating it is that this is happening again.

This game could be really fun. It was. Now it isn't.

EDIT: I expanded a bit on my post.

If you're using the EU servers it could be as simple as your connection bouncing all over Germany before finally reaching the servers. This has been an issue in many, many, MANY games for at least 15+ years. A VPN could potentially fix it but it sucks having to pay for something like that just because the Germans can't get their network hubs working properly.

Well, I HAVE a VPN. My first step on checking the issues was that I deactivated it.

That said, I did not have the issues before this week. That it happens again is really disheartening.

Try verifying the integrity of the files from the launcher. If not that check to see if your GPU has any updates available. What are your specs if you dont mind me asking?

Come one guys. I am not a complete noob. I know how PC gaming works, even if it shouldn't.

I mean, you could not tell that, so I am happy people want to help. the opposite would be worse.

So take it from me, I have been trough the checks etc. AND, before someone brings it up, I have the game installed on a new SSD.

Have you tried downloading more ram?

Can't. Johnny Mnemonic stole my ram doubler.

I've been getting the same lag issues on and off as well. Got decent internet, but like it's always the same things. Invisible enemies causing damage, rubber banding and movement slows to a crawl as well, like my character is walking through glue or something. It's frustrating cause most Auric runs I've joined have been wiped from it.

[Garviel Loken]

I'm on US west servers and I also feel the lag coming back. Not as bad as before but it has gotten me killed once or twice and it's frustrating.

[Zanatos]

I am also really frustrated. They had finally pulled themselves out of the terrible launch and got the gameplay nailed down and content coming regularly. Ever since the Vet rework I get massive desync spikes where it just won't register I shot or dodged something. It's borderline unplayable.

[White Adjacent]

For me I've run into some weird stuttering issues more so than lag (still some hit reg issues though) since the last patch.

Hoping they take a look at some technical stuff soon because it's pretty scuffed atm.

The best feeling is soloing dreg gunner & shotgunner packs with your MK VI Cleaver. All game you've been playing consistently diving and taking initiative. All of a sudden your next seven heavy attacks, confident strike, and kills aren't netting you toughness to negate the five dreg gunners. You turn around and slide the game locks you into place into a perpetual stun until you are downed. You tried to use your Bull Charge with the last bit of toughness and the ability uses itself then cancels giving you it back then you get downed by the raw output around you. Then the little backlining Veteran gets snotty about 'team work blah blah blah' and how much better he is hard backlining killing a small pack of gunners and a horde instead of bottle-necking enemies at a choke point not reinforcing plays and securing picks. But hey "I'm playing the objective" even though you're the only player establishing a healthy pace, not picking up ammo, grenades, and only snagging resources or the odd medpack or syringe drop the team missed.

Not even three minutes later the lag dissipates, they're backlining again not prioritizing threats and chasing fights on the sidelines they shouldn't. The three of them die to three crushers, small ambient units as you're diving an even harder situation alone and dealing with a horde so your Psyker can get to the medicae without dying. ♥♥♥♥ talking ensues about how bad of a teammate you are, yet the team of three failed miserably. Clearly, I wasn't worth their time being in the same lobby, cleaned up the stuff that killed them to add insult to injury left. It's amazing how lag gives petty players initiative to fault others, especially if you're forced to eat an overhead despite you haven't dodged for fifteen seconds.

Lol. Your grievances in earnest we should focus on the prevailing lag issues. But yeah lag doesn't help the teamplay and player attitudes under pressure.

I feel these issues should have been seen if the patch had been tested. That it went out this way just causes unnecessary frustration.

-plasma gun is bugged
-new map has some weird desync issues for 3 seconds after you detonate the charge in the stairs part
-when you start a map sometimes you will get teleported back to the start after you run for 2-3 seconds
that's all, there aren't any invisible enemies or lag while playing.... fix your internet

Ugh, I hate people like this.

Several people in this thread alone reported these issues but because you did not experience it "it doesn't exist".

Grow up or grow some human empathy.

They always pop in every similar threads

Very low cognitive ability don't allow them to understand that an issue they don't experience is still real

Either that, or they're so bad they don't even notice the lag, probably both tbh

As far as i understood, Fatshark did something with the servers recently, i'm pretty sure i read Catsfish mentioning changing servers

Clearly it's for the worse, our friend "can't switch weapon" is back in full force

[Kotzi]

Back again? There is no day where not at least 1 game laggs for me.
