Awful Lag In Mobile Defence

[Lifeshield]

At the moment any Mobile Defence mission I join has absolutely awful network performance. It's so bad that it is unplayable. Enemies are just stood still, allies are just stood still, while I run around freely.

 

If I try to leave it takes a good ten minutes for me to be able to.

 

It is only this game type that causes the game to do this. I never used to have problems running around on Mobile Defence.

 

I find it hard to believe it is my PC or network as my PC has good hardware and my cable broadband network has a decent download speed.

 

Hardware:

 

i5 3570k

8gb Corsair Vengeance

MSI Twin Frozr III R7950

 

Network

 

Virgin Cable Broadband

 

Download Speed: 20mb

Upload Speed 1.5mb

 

Anyone else having similar issues?

Happens to me when I'm with a slow host.

If your host is S#&$, your game will be as well.

Doesn't matter your computer spec if they play at some nice calculator

Yea it happens to me too. Although I don't have the best computer hands donw, it usually runs decent enough for me to do some matrix moves. But mobile defense is a nightmare. the only thing I could do was spam slash dashes since it lagged so much.

Except some people have very high end calculators that are able to handle the game.

 

I think DE has acknowledged that, the netcode is at fault here a LOT (not saying ALL the time because, lol I dunno) of the times stuff like this happens. I hope they fix it soon because, people with terrible toasters who leech use their neighbor's internet connection host with less lag than people with decent or even high end gaming rigs and a nice internet connection.
