Rubber Banding and disconnects

Rubber banding lag is very bad. You walk a few steps and it rubber bands you back to where you were then a disconnect.

I've been getting huge rubber banding lag where its like your fighting against a giant rubber band tied to you. And most cases it comes with a disconnect.

I want to request a Game Developer or a Tech man or whoever to take a look at Server stability. This rubber banding is extremely annoying.

    Late to the party, but I've been having this as well. I started playing during the Delta recruitment about 4-5 months ago

    For the first 3 weeks, it was smooth as butter

    After that however, loading any new map almost always resulted in 10-20 seconds of rubber banding. Any TFO could be up to 1 minute, and sometimes 2 minutes. It sometimes happens in the middle of the session, though it is relatively (and increasingly) rare

    To be fair, I'm from Australia, so I kinda expect this from the typical MMO experience. Its likely a sync error, which is exacerbated by multiple moving parts. Everything getting worse after 3 weeks might be explainable by the nature of higher level content (more actions per seconds, more enemies) but still, this happening on a single player patrol back then and now is puzzling

    Anyway, hopefully it gets better, but it'd be optimistic in thinking there's a magic switch that fixes this

    Firstly you should of posted in PC, NETWORK, AND OTHER TECHNICAL ISSUES but that's no problem a moderator can move this.

    Secondly you are talking as if the issue lies with Cryptic. This may not be the case. Have you run troubleshooting tests your end. 1 Run a tracenet
    2 Restart your router
    3 Make sure all background tasks are shut down
    4 Clear your cache

    Those are just 4 steps to take I'm sure another player can add more.

    @baddmoonrizin @darkbladejk @rattler2 would one of you been so kind to move thread. Thank you
