Lag, Freeze. Lag, Freeze, Lag, Freeze - when's the fix?

[legacy-FragMonger]

Has Epic released any info at all yet on when a patch will come out to fix the lag & freezing issues?

It's getting BAD. I quit playing completely last night, because after 5 games in a row of mad lag or freezing up, I got sick of it.

FIX IT! HELP! :(

As Joe Graf said before, its Microsofts rule that they can't release a patch until 30 days after release. Sorry.

Scroll down to his name.

Does that mean Epic has the patch ready, but MS won't let them release it yet? (Or do we even know for sure if Epic has a patch ready yet?)

[legacy-mercival]

no, it doesn't sound like they have enough fixed to make a patch yet; he was just saying that either way, they cant until the thirty days are up

Play on a better server and fiddle with your network. I bet your problem has to do with connectivity more than faulty coding.

Epic has tested the game out on a retail box just joining regular games and has not been able to duplicate any of these so called freezing problems..lol..so I guess its all in our imaginations.

It's most likely your ISP or network setup.

I love hearing that excuse, please explain then why every other XBL game runs fine then? No answer? I thought not. (gee, maybe Epic really dropped the ball here...hmmm?)

[legacy-FViral]

Ignorance, I'm sure Epic is trying their hardest to fix your problem for you. However, everyone I've talked to in person and online is not experianceing these problems.

Nice try, last night every single person was *****ing about lag in the 20 games I attempted to play, you can go ahead and say there are no netcode issues, Im glad you can somehow play without these issues, thats great. But me and many others cannot, and it has nothing to do with our ISPs man, this is messed up netcode plain and simple, how is this ignorance? Please explain? Once again, I can play every other XBL game, with no problems. Why then, is it almost impossible for me to get into a lag/freezing free game of UTC2? You dont have an answer dude, plain and simple. Why should we have to wait 1-2 months for a patch just so we can actually play the game? This is unbelivable man. I dont know how this slipped through product testing, All the Unreal games for PC are fantastic, I am stunned by this, I love Epic, I love the Ureal series, I really do, but damnit I just want to be able to play this game, thats all, and me and several others cannot.

[legacy-FViral]

Complaining and posting in every complaint form won't get you anywhere. I run the game fine on the same netcode, seems kinda stupid to blame the netcode unless everyone is affected.

Deductive reasoning I suppose.

[legacy-Digininja]

Exactly, every single other Live game works, this one doesnt. Hmmmmmmm, deductive reasoning, leads me to conclude. POOR NETCODE! Imagine that. Have you ever considered you might be in the same city as a Live server? That would explain why you have no issues....

It's amazing that people act like the problem exists just on your machine, like it's something your doing wrong. I guess 10,000 people just don't know what they are doing and never having had a problem with another game is no idicator of a problem in this release. Maybe epics inability to tell us not only that they are fixing the problem but to admit it's a problem in the first place, is why the problem exists at all. All I know is that I am playing H2 still until this gets fixed. I hope it is on the 31st day of release. As I think they really owe us a fluid working title. The demo worked way better. How doest that happen? Retorcical question don't answer it.

[legacy-Digininja]

Exacty man, I mean I can understand a little glitch here and there, but having the game practically unplayable for a whole lot of people? Unforgivable.

FViral, I’m curious. If you were experiencing the same level of lagging/freezing that is being reported on these forums, what would your reaction be?
