lag even with good connection

Posted by ReliaBleShotZ on Feb 25, 2013 12:21 PM

I have 30 ms ping connection yet when im shooting at someone all i get hitmarkers, Ive never had this problem on any other cod before. Not sure what it is but because of it i can never win any 1 on 1 battles. Im constantly have to flank to be able to kill anyone which is really frustating. Is there anything i can do on my end to improve it?

    so, you're saying...

    when you shoot at people you get hit markers? Not sure why this has to do with lag....

    the true test of how many of your bullets are actually being recorded fired from your gun isn't the number of muzzle flashes, ejected round casings, or number of bullets fired sounds you hear, it's your ammo counter.  On your screen it may appear that you fired 5-6 times when your ammo counter will only indicate 3 bullets have left your mag.  This is latency.  If you're ever feeling like you're lagging, try shooting a few rounds and watch for the delay in the ammo counter.  That's your metric for the lag.  Anything else is either a lag spike (i.e. a temporary fluxuation in the connection) or it's you being too slow.

    What you are talking about is hit detection, which is the same issue I have normally. No idea what you or I can do about that.

    You can change your dns settings, that improved especially those close 1on1 battles for my friends and myself!

    First dns: 8.8.8.8

    second dns: 8.8.8.4 (or 8.8.4.4, try it wich better works for you=

    If you want to know why or how the this works look here

      I tried that on my ps3 and it cause issues with other things, like netflix and such.

      you could also run a program on your pc called DNSBench which will run a bunch of tests against your currently used and public alternative DNS servers. This should give you an idea of if that's even an issue.  You can try using Google's public DNS servers like spktkay suggested but at least from my experience, they're not even close to being the fastest ones available to me.

        Ok, so which do you go by, the one with lowest cached, uncached, or dotcom?

        The google servers are actually one of the fastest for me!

        Thanks again l16ht! I´ll test the other results

      DNS only serves as a host to ip translation and has 0 todo with connection or lag compensation performance you will experiecne in game.

       

      This is false information and if you see any benefit it's purely placebo.

        Actually thats totally incorrect , dns does affect how your games run and changing dns will affect how you matchmake, which in turn affects performance in game, lag comp and everything connected therein

         

        but whatever not gonna bother arguing with anyone over this again,

    BO2 still plays terrible for me but MW3 seems to be dialed in pretty great. 

     

    One thing I've noticed for myself is gameplay deterioriates at around 7 pm Pacific Standard time.  I think I remember reading about bandwidth limits providers use during the weekdays that's in affect during peak hours.  For some reason that's the only time I can play.  You think it'd be the other way around but I guess it goes back to choking your connection.

        Yup.  I hate to do it.  But I occassionally have to throttle my upload after 7pm.  It goes a little up and down because the throttling isn't consistent.  But it's better than being consistently behind.

    30ms ping to where?

     

    The host of a game in Black Ops 2?

     

    Or a google server or a dedicated ping server on a ping test site?

     

    Irrelevant...

    What sucks is my internet runs off 64mb and I lag I never lagged on bo1 or mw1 or mw2 or mw3 never lagged. I thought lagging was a way to excuse a death but in bo2 I found out first hand. Any other game I run 4 bars. This game I run 2 or 3 every game checked my internet and it said my connection was strong. Plus!!!! I use conneced I dont use wifi

      How said that? Your provider? They have many excuses let them check your internetconnection maybe there is something wrong with it. That would explain the problems that occure now or did you play mw 1/2/3 now since you have this problem?

        Lol, I had this problem in just above every cod. It's in mw3 when you play it, it says four bars even though it may be a 2 bar, lol.

          Poor internet availabe in your region? Usually the bars are not lying

          Only exception make the lag switchers (since mw 3, lol), when you are in a lobby with a lag host the bars jump like a kangaroo

          BO2 for me is almost unplayable past 7pm for me, I have a decent fiber connection can max out to almost any test server in the US. But once 7pm hits playing BO2 on xbox live is a nightmare every game lags, even when everyone is showing 4 bars its still lagging and I notice more and more people getting kicked for connection problems, I play with the same people over and over again and we all are on different ISP's ranging from ATT uverse, charter, and fios and all of us have the same problem so its not a single ISP or a single player. After about trying 5 games we usually end up switching to a private match or zombies and they have no lag, its just multiplayer. 

           

          It was not always like this either started happening more and more about a month ago.

            it was great for me over the double xp weekend with 9 out of 10 games positive but since this latest update its became absolute garbage with a great deal of lag, rubber banding about half of nearly every game, lack of hit markers multiple times and as if it was even possible they seem to have made the spawn system even worse..... i've lost count of how many times i've had an enemy spawn literally behind me the last 2 nights.

            its absolute and utter BS that needs to be fixed or at least rolled back.
