Extreme Packet Loss

[SkullyxSmiles]

Is anyone else having packet loss issues after the new update? the game is unplayable, constant rubberbanding and laggy

[take tome as core I feed]

Nope. Been playing just fine since before and after the update. (US East/West)

[☣ÐR.BudZ☣]

ive been having this my self. wondering if it was me or the update. I legit am walking around with red squares in the corner 50% of all gunfights these days
I can legit tell when another team is around ..... Ill start laggin and my ping will go through the roof ...

It was an issue from before the update, but yes.

Hi, since 1.61 Hotfix I got packet loss symbols as well, never had before. Game seems to run good so far, no remarkable rubberbending. EU Servers and just in couple of games not in every game.

US servers have been stable for me. Occasional small ping spikes that subside within a few seconds, but no disconnects or anything like that.

Just had this issue.......

Friend of mine sometimes has something similar while me (on the same server) has no problems at all. I therefor conclude, that its very likely on your end

I've been playing on US West, US East, and when I can actually find a server for my own region, Oceania. Not had any other issues asides Latency on the US servers which is kinda expected.

Yes I've been experiencing this lately

Weirdly enough, I get weird rubberbanding and having to aim where the enemy is going on the new map; compared to just hitting them dead on. Completely fine on the old two. Also one heck of a fps drop in the new map in certain areas.

Hi, I had not before 1.61 any issues. What I had found out is, that it only occurs when I play with Friends, in random games it doesn’t happen.
My ping is always between 15- 25 ms.
I have a good connection ( 1Gbit) and a good router (Asus RoG GT- AX 11000), so I do not think it is on my side. I have no packet loss to any server I ping check in the EU through speed Tests, my jitter is less than 1ms and I also do not have any issues in other games.

I've had massive packet loss since the 1.6 update EU and Us East server. can't even play the game atm due to rubber banding.

Ping / packet loss / download speed are all different things.
You can have a 1TBit connection and still experience packet loss and a high ping.
Issues like this are (I think) caused by dropped packets. So whereever you may live, you happen to have a "bad ISP" or an ISP that has some issues lately.
A few days ago one of the top-level DNS servers was down... Maybe it has something to do with that? I seriously dont know, and unless we get actual debug data, we cant really decide anything for certain.

And packetloss cant be measured like "Ima go and speedtest on that website".
Packet loss (can be) individual to one server or one region. So you would have to test that specific server and unless something changed crytek does not has their servers open for speedtesting.
And one thing I also want to mention: Some ISPs from what Ive heard went as far and tried to detect if you were making a speedtest and cranking up your connection just for you to not see any possible problems.

I know the difference between packet loss, ping and DL, but I have also used the Win console/ powershell to test pings to different URLs and servers, not only speed test tools. No problems and no packet loss seen.
These speed test tools are good to find out if there is any packet loss at all in my connection on a lot of different servers....I wanted to exclude overall issues on my connections before I started to jump in this discussion.
So I could exclude that on my end and in my network. If you follow some streamers, you could see that some of them are having the packet loss issue as well in the EU or the US. I have 2 different ISPs tested so far, as I am in the good situation to have 2 different providers (Telekom (glass fiber) and Vodafone (cable).
The Akamai issue a couple of days ago could be related to the problem.

i have hard lag when the match beginns, it eventually gets better as the match progresses, but its always a slight delay, but this has benn going on literally since the game released.
