    It's nice to see Ubisoft getting ready for the new GE by....

    ....gimping your connections to the servers. 6 hours to the GE and counting, and the game is already an unplayable lag fest. I know you guys are abandoning this place soon, so not much effort is being put into it anymore, but you don't need to remove even more servers before a GE to save a few bucks..

    Yea. I came on at 8 o'clock, about 1.5 hours ago, and I got kicked twice, and "poor connection" messages with terrible lag. I thought it was just me, but apparently not.

    If this is a taste of what the Division 2 will be like, I'll pass.

    You need to get better internet providers.

    I have never had lag issues, like, ever, and my connection (300 Mbps) isn't even the fastest around here.

    I think a lot of people experiencing issues might find it a good idea to properly set up their connection (because it matters a lot). Before U1.8 It solve a lot of my issues, but since U1.8 lag for me has increased along with a huge amount of delta errors.

    However, I run at CAT5E Ethernet cable (possible of gigabit speeds) from my gaming rig to a 100mbps fibre optic connection and I don't live far from Sydney Ubisoft Servers.
    On average I get +240ms delay solo (when the game launched I was getting +380ms), I get lag (usually less after server maintenance. It's nearly unplayable if a maintenance is missed) and I've had maybe 10 times the amount of deltas since U1.8 than since the launch of the game.

    Haha, that is just crap, we have a fiber connection here at home, my husband is a programmer at our internet provider, we have the best connection one can possibly have here and I still get lag problems, grenade stagger before the grenades land, delta errors during GE events, etc...

    But I noticed that the lag is more present if I play in a group. If I play a mission solo it is better, if you are in a group is the connection set to the speed of the slowest player connection in the group in this game??
    But still some lag sometimes when I run in the LZ doing a boss run, and that is strange.

    The lag most people are experiencing has little to do with their personal connection. Location, server density, platform and many more things can influence your experience.

    I don't have much isseus with lag, but with so many people complaining, you have to admit, the infrastructure is poop.

    For me it's worse when there's a lot going on, on screen. Big fights in the DZ with lots of players, you usually see a couple of agents running in place.

    And the seeker mine meta during last stand nearly fried my PS4.

    Lol what did you expect from this GE event.

    The game is on it's last legs, they probably have an underpaid intern setting it all up, they don't care about this game anymore, all they want is people to be hyped for TD2 so they can sucker a few more into handing over their money for another broken so called AAA game.

    It is long known that the netcode for this game is a big fail!
