    Issues with occasional lag but sticky flash. Have mercy.

    I have the occasional lag, but thats not my biggest issue. I have a huge issue with the sticky bombs, especially when i use the flash sticky. When trying to do a bit of crowd control (in legendary missions) when being rushed by shotgunners, even if i stick it to the NPC and trigger it, it does nothing. I recently played Madison field hospital where regardless of how many times i used it, i died because it did nothing. There are more issues since the update than there were before. This issue i had occasionally on the previouse update.

    In terms of lag, well I'm from South Africa and have given up on any PVP gameplay, I'm 5m around a corner but die. So got over that real fast.

    Another issue I've come across. Why on earth do i get more nomad gloves than anything else when buying the caches... I have been grinding for hours only to end up with around 9 to 12 nomad gloves. Just stupid.

    A matter of act, it's not affecting a limited number of people. It's pretty widespread. I am experiencing this issue first hand, and I can tell you that it's a problem.
    We have been vocal about this issue since it affects our overall experience with the game. The lag on the ps4 quite horrendous.
    The OP obviously created this thread to bring more attention to the issue at hand.
    I don't understand why this community always has to shun or attack members of this community for bringing up issues from the game. It's counterproductive to get the issue resolved. This toxicity needs to lessen.


    To OP: You are not only one. Most of us have been talking about it and reporting it to the community team. We were supposed to get desync fixes that were supposed to help with latency, but it made worse for me.

    Appearance page = even worse than inventory page .. not only is the lag Horrid . But it will randomly decide that i wanted to equip an item the game randomly scolled to.

    Ingame. I try to place my Medic box.. nothing happens.. suddenly 3 to 5 seconds later the game decides to throw my medic box 30 feet away from me.. since im solo and wanted to set the box next to me = usually end up with me dying since i needed the Heal box for the encounter i was attempting.

    Self heal button and Medkit button = same thing = 3 to 5 second delay = dead.. i needed to Heal.. not in 5 seconds .. i needed to heal when i hit the button... same for grenades and other skills..

    Character = Randomly heading off in its own direction.. im heading right and suddenly my character decides we are going Left...

    This problem is 100% ignored.. you did a tiny nerf on striker.. woopty do.. now pred seems to be the meta of choice... i could careless..

    it makes no differance when there is up to 5 second lag in a game where decisions that are made in under 1 second are the differance between winning and dying.

    I could understand some Occasional lag..but this is a Constant issue that has been known about for MONTHS and its getting Worse..

    Seriously.. think the developers should address the fans (Customers) and let them know that a FIX is coming..
    I find if i move away from stash and reload boxes, or if i go into area away from npcs lag clears up

    Yes i created this thread because
    1) the PS4 forums here = DEAD. Nobody goes there
    2) i have responded and created threads on the Ps4 forums = the get no response other then the generic. And if that does not resolve it open a ticket.

    3) i have listed everything i have done on my system to try to resolve the issue.

    4) i actually got so fed up with it last night that i took apart my entire ps4.. so i could get access to every crevice. I blew out Any and all dust.
    The "Fan" had some small accumulation of dust on the blades but nothing major that would effect the fan at all from cooling off the system (not that i believe it to be an over heating issue. But it is one more thing to Check off the long list of what i have done on MY END)

    As the poster i qouted here has stated "this is a Widespread issue and has been going on for MONTHS"

    I Response from a Mod that they have run the issue up the line.. a Statement on the Live Weekly address that the Horrendous Lag players are suffering is at the Top of the Priority list, they are not only aware of it but are Hard at work to run down the Cause and Fix it ASAP.

    Just becuase some players arent effected. Doesnt justify the ones that are being ignored.

    I have to enter Inventory then hit the PS button exit the game, go to PS screen scroll up and down.. then hit PS button re-enter the divisiom = lag is gone.

    ^^ I have to repeat the Above steps everytime i use the world map. Everytime i use any crafting,recalibration station.etc..

    And as stated if i stop using my controller during Actuall gameplay for 10 to 20 seconds my character goes into Hybernation and i cannot Move for up to 5 Seconds = the majority of the time that results in my DEATH

    These are Major issues.. its not like xbox when the division first launched and they had an issue with screen where it had like a tearing issue onscreen this is 100 times worse.

    And a real response from the Devs during state of the game with a real Fix in the works would give PS4 players an inkling the Developers are even aware of the issue (since they all play on PC...and the PS4 Forums are a useless dustbin.. if the issue is not brought to their attention Somehow there may Never be a fix)

    and the lag is only getting worse it use to be 2 to 3 seconds it is up to 5 to 6 seconds = gamebreakingly frustratingly bad Lag.

    One of the major things i dont understand about the Sell/Buy Items at vender Page lag , the Inventory Lag , the World Map lag , Apperance item screen lag, Crafting & Recalibrating page lag....

    Is why if i hit PS button, Exit the game for 10 seconds, scroll left and right on my PS4 page, then re-enter the division is the Lag gone 90% of the time ?..

    It doesnt last long. If i stay in the inventory page,the Map,Apperance,etc... the lag will quickly come back to taking 5 seconds to move from 1 item to the next if i gently tap the button 1 time and wait.. (if i tap it a few times it scrolls halfway through the items)

    Why does exiting the game for 10 seconds remove the lag on menu and map for a few minutes?

    The 5 second lag when you place your controller down in the game and then your character does not respond for 5 or 6 seconds = DEATH is a major issue in a game where decisons made in under 1 second can be the differance between winning or wiping!!!

    If it was normal lag (like server over load and there happen to be an enourmous amount of players online and the game slows down = that happens very rarely...and when you are in a heavily active scenario like the DZ where there are a ton of players and NPC's all shooting at each other.. the game Slows down = its not lag its just to much for the Console to render at rhe correct frame rate.
    """"thats vastly diffrent than the 5 second LAG"""

    See, its like talking to a brick wall. No response. No "this is a known issue". No "we have run this issue up the line".. no response from the Developers

    (this is the official Forums.. it would be quite nice if from time to time they stop by and even just give a Thumbs up in the Emote in a post to say "we are paying attention".

    But nothing.. this has been an on going and worsening issue for Months.. it is up to 5 to 6 second delay in menu's and in Actual Gameplay if you stop using your controller for a few moments = its not like occasionally my magazine clip un equips itself.. this is a serious game ruining issue = Echooo echoooo Echoooo echoooooooo

    I am from Europe and I noticed that the lag is particularly strong when playing with ffriends from Australia. Additionally, there is always indicated "bad connection to host server" no matter how often I change server.

    I very rarely get the bad connection to host server.. and lag like NPC's suddenly appearing 5 feet away is a diffrent situation than the top in this thread.

    This thread is a Known and Constant issue regardless of what server you are on. It is a Permanant problem that has gotten worse and worse to tthe point it is now with 5 sexond delay Inge play if you stop using yiur controller for a few moment.
    It is any Inventory/Map/Apperance inventory/Crafting that the game suddenly lags so bad that if you hit a button 1 time in inventory you can count outloud 1...2...3...4...5.. before it actually moves to the next item.... and if you try to Scroll down a few items it acrolls down 30 items.

    The world map = A static page. Trying to move the Pointer around the map is a NIGHTMARE...especially in Survival when you need to use the map to locate a heat source becuase you are freezing to death...
    and also Crafting in Survival is Horrible...when you have a time limit,you are infected,and you need to quickly go into inventory to change weapons or craft items and the game is Lagging on ALL of these things. = Game Breaking!!

    This is a well Known,Wide Spread, and Constant issue regardless of what server you are on.
    It is a Permanant problem that has gotten worse and worse to the point it is now is up to a 5 to 6 second delay.
    If in the game world you stop using your controller for a few moment = your character hybernates and is unresponsive for up to 5 seconds = gamebreaking issue in game were decisions made in less than a second can mean win or a wipe.
    It is any Inventory/Map/Apperance inventory/Crafting that the game suddenly lags so bad that if you hit a button 1 time in inventory you can count outloud 1...2...3...4...5.. before it actually moves to the next item.... and if you try to Scroll down a few items it acrolls down 30 items.

    And also Crafting in Survival is Horrible...when you have a time limit,you are infected,and you need to quickly go into inventory to change weapons or craft items and the game is Lagging on ALL of these things. = Game Breaking!!

    And in response all we get is Simon and Garfunkel's "The Sound Of Silence"
