Long lasting lag sometimes when...

Recommended Posts

Hello,

Excuse me for not having used the search function, I just didn't know what search terms I should use really. confused_o.gif (just having the word "lag" in the search will bring up too many threads, no matter how many search words I add)

I got a very good connection (17 ms lately, lots of bandwith, too) and the game is lag free except when I sometimes enter a vehicle which already contains a player, preferably a tank or a helicopter. This gets so bad that sometimes the lag lasts like 2 min until it finally updates (i.e. yesterday I was stuck on the ground with a helicopter although the pilot took off minutes ago but neither of us showed high ping or desync in the status window).

What's up with that? Does anyone know the cause and the possible solution to this?

Is it with anyone? Usually, if a person has a bad connection to the server or to you then you will experience severe lag when in a vehicle with them. Along the lines of what you describe - years for the vehicle to appear to do anything etc

Does this happen all the time on any server with any other person or just on a specific server/with a specific person? Sounds unusual.

No, it doesn't happen with everyone.

However, I experienced it with one of my buddies and in my last game I did not although it was the same person. crazy_o.gif

The problem is that as soon as a player gets in as a driver in a vehicle that vehicle becomes local to that player.

A vehicle being local to a player means that that players computer handles everything relating to that object.

So if you get in as a driver in a jeep control of that jeep is transferred to your computer.

So if anyone else wants to get in that jeep your computer will decide if they are allowed to or not, not the server.

The problem then is if the one who controls the vehicle you want to enter is lagged. It'll sometimes take quite a while before they approve your get in request, and leaving might be even worse.

This is one of the big reasons why you don't want to let laggy players join the servers you play on.
