out of interest how did you measure this 100-150ms difference?
you do realise a 3bar player has a ping of approx 100-199ms right? theres the difference right there
A demo contains what your client saw and what the server/host saw.
You play the recorded demo and record the output using various hardware .. or you choose to render/upload and download.
With a real "video" of what happend you can use a video editing software or if you want a stopwatch to measure time.
Now you measure how long you saw the enemy and how long it saw you (till you die).
Dang .. theres a difference.
btw i think three bars equals to 75-100ms.
While i expect a difference (due to connection latency) i would expect that difference between server and client to be the latency between server and client.
Now if client and host are on the same console .. where are those 100-150ms are comming from?
From the lagging client? A lagging client adds lag to my client<->server connection?
Doesnt make much sense...unless its artificial and part of this "better" lag compensation (or a bug).
The initial question was more or less rhetorical.. because its difficult for me to proove all that stuff (provide materials/vids/graphics .. PowerPoint slide anyone?
). And .. .. Devs have to reproduce it anyway...you didnt answer my question if you're going to make statements like you measured a difference i was expecting you to come bck with some fancy recording software that can measure in frames.. 100-150ms is round a 10th of a second very hard to measure to that level of accuracy
especially with a stopwatch ....not understanding what your point is really as you seem to be confusing alot of stuff, for example you said
"

the difference is between players , if you're host you still have a difference between players nothing changes sorry im really not getting your point at all here it just comes across as you read alot of the garbled theories people have posted on here and mashed them all into one equally confuddled statement.
