Topic: Lag Lines
This video was taken while travelling along one of the lines which trigger the server to send information about the terrain (at least that is my understanding of what the lines are). Best watch it in full screen so you can see the text. The ping on the side is there as a baseline to compare performance against ping and hopefully show that it is not a networking issue. The "openprofiler" window isn't too good in that video. I will post a better video showing the openprofiler>network window and map soon.
I would ask you to go hunting and look for these lines. You can find them by looking at the map. look at the big squares created by the grid system, then draw a line vertically and horizontally through the middle of the square. the border of the big square and the lines in the middle are what i refer to as lag lines. Go back and forth over them and see if you get a lag spike or N/A Lag. If you see what I am seeing then can you +1 this post. could you also include the country you are playing in so that network routing etc. issues can be eliminated / more effectively investigated.
The reason I see this issue as being of high importance is not simply cause it is killing my ( and others) experience as every time I hit the line I have to stop for ~10 seconds to let everything catch up but I see that this will only get worse as PBS increases, if it is not addressed early on. I also think it is responsible for old problems in the game such as lag on highways etc. because the faster you go the more often you will cross the lines.
