Graphic Glitches? Or Deliberate Adjustment?

[2m0ho]

sometimes on a online matching, or might be play during friends i've observed lots of times that graphic effects are being compressed. like lasers in void are not appearing, effects of weapons goes simplified. is that a kind of auto-optimization of improvement for play environments? (related to ping) because it doesn't happen when i play alone. 

 

please reply if anyone had same experience as me or has an answer.

There's some host/client issues, like void defense mission laser consoles might not make visible lasers for clients (but hosts can see and be hit by them).

so do you mean it is a normal?

It's a bug.  If you can find details about what differences there are for hosts versus clients and give screenshots/info as bug report threads that'd help.  In the player squad screen in-game (hit Z to show it below your shields/health) there's numbers for each player, the number 1 player is the host and everybody else is a client.

 

You can generally join in-progress games to be the client, and start solo games to make sure you're the host.
