Possible reason to the "floatyness" of the game | Forums

none of this thread makes sense to me, man.

i swear it's all just psychosematic. none of the above can affect how floaty the game is, surely?!

I know that on MP Evo takes quite a lot of bandwith compared to games like COD ( used DU meter to test )
and i put it down to all the "Ghosts" of the other players being displayed in "real time".

I assume, that if you have a lot of friends that ure racing against on single player, that the "real time" update of thier ghosts could also take a lot of bandwidth and if you have a "moderate" connection, might cause a slight buffer on the gameplay speed? Is that possible, anyone know?

I doubt it, but if you do have thoughts to that effect, turn off the ghosts. If you do suddenly become quicker, maybe you have a point. I suspect that all "ghosts" you are racing against are actually downloaded before you even start your run (during the loading pause) so I don't think it will make any difference.

Easy way to fix this, beat all your friends times and then there will be no ghosts, all sorted

o right. i don't have ghosts on but yeah maybe that does slow it down? i dunno.

only time i've had ghosts on is when i'm playing my rival on the earlier tracks, but that's just one ghost.
