Title Update 23

Significantly reduced lag spikes caused when someone joined a match in progress.

Added more matchmaking/performance telemetry to allow us to optimize our backend servers

New networking code improvements to be initially rolled out in the Domination playlist October 10th, mid-morning with more playlists to come

Thought I’d play Domination for a bit to see how the TU was. To start with the update was super small. The first match was on Terminal. One of the players was from Japan, which is roughly 10,376 miles from my location. I went on a dying spree with instant deaths over and over again, my bullets didn’t count. No hit markers, nothing. I backed out. Second match, everyone was from USA but the only way I could win a gun fight was to lie down, hide in a corner of the map, behind a bush with assassin pro, blind eye pro and a silenced MK14. When they would walk past I’d shoot them in the back of the head with a full clip. If I didn’t get the entire clip into their head they would turn around and shoot in my general direction and I’d die instantly.

You’re game is garbage and I’m done…

Fix lag compensation though stop denying that it exists and fix it. I shouldn't have to worry about if I am lagging enough or how my signal is I should only have to worry about how good I am.

@ VIMS

I saws some improvements but that was a couple of patches ago and went to crap. Then it only worked with DLC off and now not at all...lol

Out of curiousity, who found the connection to be decent when the devs added the lag comp improvements to TDM?

 

I remember that there was positive feedback on the connectivity improvements to TDM a while back.

 

If it was possible, could the devs revert back to this specific patch or would it be difficult considering the number of matchmaking alterations in the last few months.

I did. It was a very noticeable improvement and for the first time in ages the game was actually playable for me, but it only lasted for a few days. Considering how suddenly it went back to unplayable, I think they reverted those changes on purpose for some reason.  It didn't go back to bad gradually. It played very well a few days and the next day it was back to unplayable. What also makes me believe they reverted it on purpose is the fact that they avoid this whole subject.

E: Just tried Domination again and it's still ****. Considering that there was three host migrations in one game, I don't think I was the only one who though it was ****. I don't see any difference to how it was pre-patch. Another patch that did absolutely nothing. So Ghandi, why did you revert those TDM lag comp tweaks and when are you going to put them back?
