Laggy - slow loading | Forums

[Ubi-MrDrPink]

Based on my own experience (XB1X) and word of mouth from others, I would say:

Base consoles- frame rate/lag issues.

Pro- frame rate/lag issues.

X- runs fine generally, loading tracks can take a while though. Do have odd issues on the occasional TC track, which seems odd.

PC-I would guess okay?

Don't you guys have all the platforms so you can actually test these things?

Ill chime in as well. Ps4 Pro. Im having hitches and lag on both Career and TC tracks. All of them. Typically just a few hitches per track, but enough to kill many Diamond runs, and make replaying stages a chore. Im level 389 and ive played for 236 hours. This issue has been present since day one. My internet speed is on average 52mbs download and 5.2mbs upload. Is there any possible way options could be introduced to reduce lag? Such as completely turning off ghosts (since making them invisible still has them on the track), turning off certain effects (i.e. particle, background, etc.), or turning off the 30 sec network pinging on ps4? Might be comepletely off base with some of thise suggestions, but theres gotta be some way to prevent these lag issues.

Thank you for the additional details. If there was one tracks that this frame rate drop is most notable on, what would you say it is?

It sounds like there are two different issues being talked about here. I've seen console owners complain since day one about brief stutters during gameplay, which seem to be resolved by turning off internet. Digital Foundry talks about it here at 10 minutes in. It's been there since launch, and still no acknowledgement in the "Known Issues Last Updated April 19th i.e. nearly 3 weeks ago" topic either.

I think this new issue people are complaining about in the OP sounds like a pause while loading assets, presumably some side effect of the last patch, maybe more prevalent on one or two tracks depending on their asset use perhaps?

UK UPPER on base XB1. I have heard this is bad with lag. Try that one.

To be honest i cant really pick one. Since im trying to grind for Diamonds, im playong tracks over and over again. And all of them have brief issues. Same when i try a few TC tracks. A few notable career tracks i can think of are Firebase Faceplant, Braking Bad, all Highland Fling stadium tracks, and many more. Again, not a huge issue for those playing casually, but getting top 50 LB time requires total precision, and a brief stutter, hitch or frame drop will kill your run.

Thanks again for sharing these details, they've been passed along to the development team. If any extra information is required, I'll update this thread.
