I'm very worried about lag.


I know everything is still in pre-alpha, but let's use this thread to discuss what how stable we think the game will be. I never played PS1, but from what I can tell the game was plagued with warping and terrible lag. Will Planetside 2 be any different? Have the Devs commented on the net code?

Don't worry, be happy! I'm quite sure that devs haven't forgotten about that.

The net code for that game was not very good, I'd expect little to no lag in this one, as the team is more experienced, and new technologies will have come out in the transisiton between the two. However, if your internet speed is slow, it doesn't matter. =/

No you are being way over the top. It was not that bad or I wouldn't have played.

Re: I'm very worried about lag.


Have they commented on what improvements they are making, or is this all speculation?

Re: I'm very worried about lag.


I'm curious as to whether they're going to use client side hit detection. You know, that enables you to be shot 3 seconds after running around a corner.

Related to being shot around the corner, is there going to be ricochet in the bullet physics?

I think "improvements" is probably the wrong term, that implies they are taking PS1 and patching it up. I feel fairly confident in suggesting that the net code will have been entirely rewritten.

10 years of development in MMO and online gaming, not to mention broadband infrastructure - I'm sure the system will cope provided the player meets basic bandwidth and system requirements.

Netcode in PS1 was fine, its about the only MMO you can play with a high ping at a competitive level, yet alone a shooter.

Planetside 2 will be a combination of client and server hit detection.

They first game had it's flaws but it was still a great technical achievement for 2003

Lag and stability are top concerns and we have folks on them.

Could you say that you have top men working on it?

Re: I'm very worried about lag.


Planetside came out when a bunch of people used 56k...Luckily I had DSL which made things better..

But comparing speeds of then till now, is way better now...So I think most people should handle it...the only problem now is how the game is designed.

9 years in technology is a lot. Plus, they have experience in those 9 years to make corrections. No one else has that but SOE.

Re: I'm very worried about lag.


Some of us played PS1 from across the other side of the world and it was playable.
Sure there was a bit of lag but that was to be expected and you adjusted.
It was a bit difficult against a bunny hopping jackhammer or dodging Magriders.
I expect it would develop a great deal after 9 years.
