    Survival is unplayable

    Quite apart from you trolls having a great laugh by putting vet fatties on the crash site......................

    Survival is dangerous but it isn't the NPC's that get me, I can manage the cold, the infection isn't my downfall, no what is getting me killed 8 out of ten times is your cheap, potato, rubbish servers.

    Lag is what kills me more often then any other thing in Survival, either getting stuck on or between objects or just loosing control of my toon.

    You people made millions, MILLIONS, when you launched this game and now out of what I can only assume is greed your trying to run it on a shoestring hosted on a 386 in Yanneks bedroom.

    Many other games give us the choice as to which server we play on as this makes a hell of a difference in connectivity, we don't even know where your servers are!

    I've just spent 1 hour fighting lag and managed to get to the DZ, got the anti-virals, got the flare gun and got to an extraction with 2 mins to spare where I helped kill the Hunter all of which WAS A WASTE OF TIME because your ............ game lagged out as I was trying to board the helo and I actually fell through the floor of the ........... helo!

    The language I want to use in this post wouldn't be strong enough to express my opinion of you right now but I'll try without swearing.......

    You are a greedy, money grubbing, penny pinching JOKE that took MILLIONS of pounds from your customers and are now refusing to provide a adequate service.

    While I haven't had nearly the same level of problems that you are, so far LITERALLY every match of Survival I've played has had a constant "Poor Connection to Server" message floating on my screen.

    This doesn't happen anywhere else in the game. Not in the DZ, not in missions, not in underground. Just Survival. Is the Survival server run on a potato or something?

    No, but take in mind that there is instance for 24 players. At first game try to find other agents/groups of same/similar group members count and from same geo region. If there is no possible to do it, it will try to find players with different geo regions so it introduce "poor connection" message.

    For example. I sit at central Europe but recently I played with Matt during his DZ friday. As he is session owner on US server I have to connect to his session and it will be server with higher latency due to geo position. Same as I connect to someones session and player is from US, I get that message no mattere if DZ, LZ, UG or survival.


    Honestly even "poor connection" message, game is playabel without problems.

    I have crashed to the dashboard in every Survival game recently but thankfully have been able to continue after logging back in to the game.

    Damn man, luckily I haven't been taken by the lag so easily. Every time I play Survival I see the "Poor Connection to Server" message the whole time though. What's funny is that I have like 80mb/s internet and usually less than 30 ping playing anything other than this game xD

    This for me is the thing, the whole the thing, the entire shooting match. Patches, updates, balancing, content, all meaningless if you can't provide a stable game. Why more people aren't talking about this I really don't know because everybody should be.
