Rubberbanding Issue For Anyone Else?
For some reason whenever i play this game every 2-8 seconds my character will get stuck in place rubberbanding while trying to run. This doesn't happen to my friends, and when i'm spectating them they move around perfectly fine for me. While i'm in the middle of rubberbanding i can see everyone else, players and NPC's included still moving around perfectly fine.

The games pretty much unplayable for me because of this issue, combat is damn near impossible because i can't move around or maneuver or do anything. If i'm being chased by enemies it's pretty much game over because i'll be held in place unable to run away from them while they calmly walk up to me and ♥♥♥♥ me.


I've tried resetting my modem and it's made no difference. This issue does not happen in other games i'm playing like War Thunder, Mechwarrior Online, Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries coop campaign, or Chivalry 2. My connection in Discord is fine when it happens too, so i have no idea why this is happening. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks

try other servers that are far away from you sometimes it helps

Youll also experience heavy rubberbanding when around other players in solo mode

Switching to a more distant server has sort of helped. Initially when i switched servers the rubberbanding still happened but it was less frequent, however after several games it has pretty much gone back to where it was before.

Yes i noticed this just now in solo i was in a match that for almost the entire time ran smooth as butter. No rubberbanding what so ever, then i suddenly started getting it again while clearing a boss room and i looked behind me and saw a player coming towards me. The rubberbanding stayed until i died while fighting with him. This made me suspect it could be related to being around other players.

Two theories - its a issue with touching corner edges of walls. Happens mostly when that happens. Or, its a internet issue.
Now im on wireless. So perhaps thats the reason? Are you on wireless or broad band cable or Ethernet fiber?

Im getting rubberbanding every now and then even on a 100% stable wired fiber connection.

I'm using wifi. The distance to the modem is like 8ft through 1 thin wall. I've run speedtests and what not and my ping is 20-28 and my connection is stable. I also don't have any issues in the other games i play. Also, the rubberbanding for me at least is not from touching walls. It can happen in an open environment when i'm not touching anything but the floor and simply trying to walk straight.

yeah its pretty much all on the devs side they have to fix it not much we can do if our internet is good and with a ethernet

It got so bad for me a week ago that I suspected the other guy of hacking, clear as hell dungeon run and then MASSIVE rubber banding with the first pvp guy I see. Got wrecked and didn't see any lagging from anyone elses perspective (as if I would though).

Probably just server issues, thinking about what the other person said. I've noticed it near walls/corners...

I think it could be server issues. I have a gb/s connection speed, with my ping being 5-15 in almost everygame I play. No issues. Even in dark and darkers Every single thing that would lag say opening a chest or doors have no issues. Only the fact that i rubberband constantly and consistently.

Goes away sometimes, comes back other times. Regardless of server I play on. Its incredibly annoying and never happened in the playtest for me.

I'm almost positive this is the case. Since my last comment on here i played for a couple more hours with friends and the games were consistently mostly smooth for me.

Then we loaded into a match and started in a 2 floor spider room that was filled to the brim with enemies and it was completely unplayable. Every single one of us in the party and all of the AI were lagging and rubberbanding all over the place. It seemed to subside once we cleared out the floor we spawned on and started to move away from the room, so it could also be caused by lots of enemies and not just players too.

The rubber banding is so bad the game is unplayable for me.
AbD Jun 25, 2024 @ 10:11pm 
yes, I'm tech USe, but got to play USw to avoid the rubber banding, odd to, I'm actuly 2 states closer to USe's server
