    What are you doing about LAG SWITCH UBISOFT?

    Lag switching is incredibly irritating. When were fighting npcs, the game was ok, when we faced with another group of agents, the stutters terribly to the point that the game can't be played.

    I guess there is no region separation.

    This is new - we never saw lag before in DZ (me and the 20+ I play with)
    After 1.3 DZ stutters for some of us.
    Makes PVP and lvl35 Elite mobs impossible.

    I notice a lot of people (including one of my friends) always calls out someone as a lag switcher when he dies. I have played against lag switchers in other games, so I know what it looks like. I have yet to encounter anything like that here. There are times wheh the NPC just teleports forward or backwards about 10 feet. I blames the crappy servers.

    Region separation won't be necessary. What I was trying say is that lag switch is another form of cheating. Why use it in the first place? Maybe because some players required "crutches" in the darkzone? Lag switch negatively impacts the game and I'm not going to be surprised if it impacts the servers as well. It's just another ****ty,cheap **** move to get ahead of someone else.

    Lag Switching

    Well, Here's what we know about this now. It's real and it is happening in the DZ and this game.

    Certain players will flip the switch when manhunt just as they are being shot and going to be downed. I can't tell you how many time I've encountered a guy that I've put 2 clips in his back while he's running in place. Only to see him heal and drop you seconds later. All the other players around him are fine. Just specific people who have found away to use a software based hotkey lag switch or have made there own since it's so simple.

    What's being done about this? Probably nothing as usual...

    This problem is WAY more evident in 1.5 since people have learned how to use them.

    And this is why people are getting away with it!!!
