I Would Upgrade to a Gold Pack But....[Desync issues, with GGG response]

Leaving this here if someone would like to read about lag and client side prediction theory. He unfortuantely stops at the most important part, reconciling severe changes inside the step, but overall it's a good read:

Thank you zeto for conducting yourself in a reasonable manner, in your capacity as a moderator, and also contributing something useful to the discussion. The articles are good.

A shame the other moderator who flexed his overdeveloped censorship muscle, and locked my other thread, http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/53626, doesn't take a page out of your book.

And OP is right, you're one heck of a moderator and community paragon, zeto. Nothing but admiration for ya. :)

Dash,

Normally i play on a ping of 13-16 now thats fantastic
never had any issues, no dc nothing.

But something has changed thou, my ping is roughly the same but i have massive rubberbanding

Checked my connection, to make sure i was not downloading something in the background. To no avail

Good to note that this started after open beta weekend.

I've experienced sometihng similar. I never lagged or ruberbanded at all up untill now. Now, there are periods of time where the lag is so bad I disconnect every few minutes for about 30min or so. Terrible, unplayable rubberbanding too during this time.

Everything was fine untill just recently. It's odd.

We all have our uses... many tools in the box ;)

U guys are luck i live in the North of Canada and i have problems like this all the time.

Ping ususaly 150-200 + the de sync + the game crashes

And i play HC mode haha ( i love punishment )

Im so use to lag in any and all games i actualy have to fit/skill to combat it. Not a 100% safe guard but it dose help alot.

Not that it fits all play styles, however this game dose give some nice ability to combat lag/de-sync with a build style. I play a tank marader ,VERY VERY CAREFULLY, even though im constantly fighting the lag monster so far all my deaths have been player related ( well 1 might of been lag hard to say ) but u just got to roll with the punches ;)=

Two days back my HC Shadow was killed while doing a map. His life was low and the life potions used so I ran back to a monster-free area to open a TP. Then suddenly he got a fatal hit even though no monster was visible on the screen. I pressed F1 and noticed 2 lag spikes around 0.5 secs happened at that time.

My ingame latency is usually low at the 60 - 80ms range. The problem are occasional lag peaks happening from time to time. One of such spikes became deadly for my character. It was actually the first time my char was killed from lag.
