In lockdown, there are many people who say "I'm very laggy", "Unplayable" etc.
And I sometimes say this myself too. Usually I get 2 bars but now I need vpn to play, and sometimes the connection gets very bad.
Kinda figured moaning about lag gives a grim mood to the lobby so I try not to complain on chat much... but that's not the point.
But here's the problem.
Of the people who often say "I lag""I bad ping", most are capable of successfully single switching guns or spamming pola.
And, they type long sentences without a single spelling error.
When I lag, senntennnces teend to turn out likee this
As far as I know, Grammerly doesn't work in the game.
Polaris lines create lag (I'm not an expert on this but I think it does for most cases).
Singleswitching requires perfect timing and unison with the game server for the commands to go through.
Are they really lagging or is the problem different for everyone?
Well there are 3 kinds of lag in LD
1. FPS lag since SK is poorly optimized so sometimes you'll have freezes or extremely low FPS.
2. Server instabilities that happen universally, makes you jump around, teleport etc...
3. General high ping
1 and 2 are universal, but some people like you and me have 1,2,3 together
Lag is possible even if you're in USA, but that is not a factor when they acheron combo you to death lol...might be possible that fps lag and server side lags are even worse for high ping players cuz they have less time to respond/hit stuff?
