    Massive.. the lag issue...

    Since Ps4 forum just gets ignored.

    The lag is Getting atrocious

    Open map and try to move curser to a specific position? = Nope.. the curser is like a Quija board planchette.. it randomly moves around the map .. (atleast place random letters around the map so it can spell out random words like "This is your dead uncle mike, lagging your game out from beyond the grave just for sh'ts and giggles")

    Tried throwing a grenade .. the game must have though i liked looking at the yellow circle. It would not let me throw the grenade or unequip the grenade.. needless to say i died.

    My character randomly decides to go in his own direction occasionally.. i push up and left and je makes a sharp right u-turn.

    Try to fire gun/ hit med pack = nothing happens = i die.

    And just Forget about trying to look through your inventory or storage = a complete nightmare. Hit a button and Up to 5 second delay. If you accidently hit it 2 or 3 times or move from on item or column to the next fasyer then a snail on sleeping pills, you will be wisked off to another dimension in time and space and goodluck finding your way back.

    (Occasionally hiting the ps button and leaving game and then xoming back 5 to 10 sexonds later alleviate the issue for a Brief moment.. but it Quickly returns with a vengance).

    These are not New Issues.. been going on for a long time and getting worse with every update.

    I am on a wired connection with 100mbs..i Have No issues even close to this with Any other game.. (i have Less issues on my phone over wifi playing games)

    We've had some of those issues on XBL too, not the menu issues though. The rest i've witnessed or had myself.

    Seems you are unaware of how you are connecting to ubisofts servers. If you play on PS4 or XB1 you have to log into their server, then it connects you to ubisofts servers. So you are moving packets over 2 servers to you. Ubisoft also uses multiple servers that you play on. One for connection, one for main game, and one for DZ, underground, survival, last stand, and skirmish. I'm going to do a short video for my channel showing you what I'm talking about.

    Oh dear. Seems you missed some points from his post.
    A= Playstaion
    B= ISP
    C= Ubisoft

    "i Have No issues even close to this with Any other game.."

    Seems A, B and whatever C is, works fine as long as C isn't Ubisoft.
    Don't think he needs a video to allow him to see the issue.. And he isn't alone.

    I didn't "miss" anything.
    1. He clearly states he not happy with no response on the PS4 forum.
    2. He says he has 100 MBPS ISP.
    3. Says Ubisoft and The Division is the cause of it. Correct?
    I never disagreed with OP. Just showing him the problem "we" all have at times. So, latency (ping) can have a major impact on your game. Depending on which server you are on, NA, Europe, or Asia. It also has to do with who is hosting if you play Co-Op. I have friends in India, South Africa, and Australia along with here in the US. So sometimes all of us have lag depending on who is hosting. So yes more servers would greatly help with lag and long wait times for LS, Survival, Skirmish.
    The video is to show you were to look for your latency. As it's not something easy to check on PC, if you don't know where to look. If your latency is low, but you still are having lag issues. Your issue could be overheating of the GPU, lack of power, memory, or a program running in the background like Goggle which has this advance setting "Continue running background apps when Google Chrome is closed" which can cause lag in The Division, but not other games due to "ports" used. Even the installer doesn't make the Inbound and Outbound rules for the game. You need to add them, or you will get "delta's, lag, quit to desktop, freezes. Even on PS4 and XB1 you can open ports for The Division which will stop the lag issue "been posted on PS4 forum since game came out"

    Sometimes your PlayStation 4 might encounter some connectivity issues when you are playing a multiplayer game — you might frequently disconnect from your gaming sessions, or you are suffering from high ping rate. If you have checked your network connection and it’s fine, it may be that there are problems with your PS4 NAT Type setting. In fact, changing NAT Type can be an effective method to improve your PS4 network status.
    Type 1 (Open): This is a totally open type. You directly connect to the Internet. Your PS4 has the least chance of disconnection and high gaming latency. And you can connect to all NAT types of users. The downside is that your connection can be insecure.
    Type 2 (Moderate): Your PS4 connects to the Internet with a router. Compared with the Open type, you will have higher lag and slower connection. But you can still connect to most of the players out there.

    Type 3 (Strict): This is the strictest type. Your PS4 connects to the Internet with a router. The chance of disconnection are the highest. You can only connect to players of Open type. And some of your PS4 online functions may not be able to work.
    If you are in NAT Type 3, it is recommended that you change it so that you can increase your PS4 network speed. So if you have a lousy connection when playing mulitplayer games on PS4, you can check if your console is using the wrong NAT type.

    How your PS4™ system is connected to the Internet
    This information can be used to judge the ease or difficulty of connecting to other PS4™ systems, such as when using communication features of games.
    Type 1: The system is connected directly to the Internet.
    Type 2: The system is connected to the Internet with a router.
    Type 3: The system is connected to the Internet with a router.
    With Type 3, communication with other PS4™ systems might be impossible, or your PS4™ system's network features might be limited. For details, see "When you cannot connect to PlayStation™Network".

    Yeah this game's performance is increasingly running like more and more ****.

    My dad n I got this game Xmas 2017, was on sale, yeah, it was fun. Worked like a charm, but a couple months ago, it started running like complete **** for my dad, just out of the blue. We eventually fixed that issue and like last month again, another random bout with BS heaping mounds of random lag after a few minutes of playin the game. I think maybe he fixed it again?

    Same thing for me, worked fine until like a month ago, I started getting heaping mounds of random lag, game was running fine then one day it just starts to lag like *****. I updated my GPU drivers and it fixed it. Now, as of yesterday, its starting up, with today, its coming to a head again, with tons and tons of unplayable freezes and stutters.

    What the hell is with this game? Can UBi like FIX the fking game? Whats more, they want us to go onto Division 2? They think we wanna have to put up with the same **** there? THey are nutz if they think its building hype. Its like, Div 1 barely functions, as if Div 2 will be better. I wont even bother with div 2 at this point. I dont look forward to dealing with the same ****, cuz lets be real, its not like its really going to be better....or in the very least, we have nothing that really shows that it will be.
