Serious lag playing solo?
-EDIT-
For those who are still having this issue, it unfortunately seems todays patch didnt do anything to resolve it. However if you're still itching to play the game you've sunk your hard earned money into i would recommend either subscribing to or using the free version of GeForce Now, its a game streaming service, basically netflix but for games. This seems to be a solid work around for now and you'll be able to play the game without this awful connection/network issue, given its not the most ideal thing in the world but if it works it works right and you'll at least be able to play until they come out with a solid fix for this.

-EDIT 2-
So myself and a fair few others have confirmed that formatting your drive/drives seems to do the trick and resolve this issue, i know this method wont be for everyone in which case i highly recommend using the method suggested in the edit above, at least for the time being while the devs work on a fix for this.


-ORIGINAL-
Just want to see if anyone else is having the same issue as i've not been able to find anything on this anywhere.

Game runs absolutely fine performance wise, FPS is solid and it looks absolutely spectacular. however, and before i get into this i understand its day one for the advanced access and this could very well just be a server problem (though i personally don't think it is)

I boot up the campaign get through the cutscene and have maybe about 5-10 seconds of the game running perfectly to then be hit by game breaking lag, i've played around with settings from lowest to highest and so on and none of those changes have had any impact, just have a little red connection icon in the top right of my screen while playing and can't seem to do anything, i've booted it up in both offline mode and also disconnecting my pc from the internet entirely and both times bizarrely i get that crisp 5-10 seconds then endless lag.

Anyone else having this kind of issue? any potential work arounds or is this just a server load thing?

Any advice is much appreciated!

Game is absolutely unplayable. keeps freezing constantly.

So obviously it'll be pretty hard for me to figure out what was removed that potentially changed things (maybe it was the update from earlier today) but i have absolutely no issues at all now. game is running perfectly. I had to have my entire rig formatted and a new OS installed this weekend so maybe there was something i had installed that was conflicting with the game or the server communication or w/e but everything seems to be perfect now. i've only reinstalled spacemarine 2 so far along with discord and the Geforce experience app so theres barely anything on my system right now.

Again, im not sure if this is due to my PC being formatted and everything being fresh or due to the update that was released.

Same it's absolutely awful, I've not been able to play even though I bought the gold version.

Constant game freezes and "host migration" problems over and over again. It runs fine when it works, my fps is solid but it'll freeze and lock up randomly very frequently.

I thought the update and release would fix it but nope, still same problems from last Thursday!

For those of you still having this issue, someone in another thread has mentioned that they've seen a few posts around your PC's power plan, people have changed it from Performance mode and its supposedly made a difference for them. I know my rig was set to high performance before i had it formatted and its now set to "balanced" so maybe this is related to the issues? not sure but im interested to see if it makes a difference for anyone

I also have the rubber banding issue, ive tried most settings. I think it has to be an internal issue at Focus entertainment, cause i dont understand why i have server issues even while disconnecting my wifi-.....

Same issue, the 30 fps seemed to help a little bit in the prologue but then it was back to rubber banding by the first mission.

Should be absolutely fine running at 30fps with those set ups.

Im at a loss with this now and hoping the devs get a fix out for it soon. Ive spent the evening on spacemarine just stress testing things and so far everything has been golden, no issues with connection or performance, put everything back up to max specs and even played Co-op with one of my buddies who was having the lag/rubber banding issue pretty much our entire time playing while i was sat at 10-15ping constantly and no lagging/rubber banding.

As i've mentioned earlier on im running things on what is essentially a fresh set up as i had to have my rig formatted this weekend and i've not installed anything other than Steam, Discord, Geforce Experience and Spacemarine. Wondering if its an issue with something we had/have installed on our PCs conflicting with the game or the server communication?

Same issue even during the early access really hope they do something I've done as much as I can on my end and I have no ping/connection issues in any other title.
