Is anyone besides me having terrible terrible lag it's worse today than yesterday

zup has said ..as no more updates for df1 ..lag will increase an get worse

i have spoken with zupperman about this issue on world chat yesterday about the lag and freeze frames he says it seems to be a unity game engine issue and hes trying to work out what the issue is and hopefully fix it soon

there are two different things:
1) Slow framerate (everything moves hyper slow)... that's not lag. Something weird on the game and I'm talking with Unity about that.

2) Lag on Dogfight 1. That's to be expected. I removed all servers except one.

3) Lag on Dogfight Elite. It was normal because I allowed everyone to play against everyone (India, Brasil vs Spain)... and they are so far apart the connection sucks between them. So I changed it for now that people with fastest connection among them will be placed together. The problem with this is that people in India (blue?) and some others may find themselves playing alone most games. Not sure what to do about this. Wait until more players from different locations join or allow everyone but have bad lag sometimes?

Thank you for considering zuperman. But I'm happy to let you know that today I see players in all games. I don't know what you did, but it's working for me and many of my squad mates. Thank you so much.

What I did was remove the adjustement on slow speed. Which means, people will begin complaining about lag when they play with you or people in India.
That's why I'm asking for an opinion about point 3.

If that is the case I don't mind segregating India with others for the sake of game. I really don't want to spoil the goodness of this game. If you get complaints, don't think twice and go ahead and do what is best for this game.

For me, I like playing with folks from other countries. Mix it up a bit and meet some good folks!

Is it possible to set limits to allow a few players with slow internet into a game with faster speed? I believe you mentioned the maps were not coming back so could have squad wars. But what if created just 2-3 maps to allow varying speed? Could these maps then be converted into planned 'war zones' for squad wars.

Just tossing out ideas.

what about regional servers if you pick one you don't belong in ie a indian server its your own fault

Zup, regarding point 3:

Just make the game work as good as possible. It will be a bummer if we can't play with all of our international friends but the core issue is the game. If it works smoothly more players will join and stay. If you bend over backward and make functional compromises to keep the current players happy the game may suffer and eventually many will lose interest in a poorly functioning game.

Dogfight has been great at times and other times filled with frustrating bugs. (Sometimes both at the same time?) I sincerely hope that things can be worked out so we can all play around the globe but in the long run it will always be about how well the game works.

What about a known combined server that players choosing that server know that players of locations can join and then the players who like that can go there and those who don't wont.

or

Some servers for regions for set for where large groups are but the rest for anyone, so you can join the local or join the combined mass.

That sounds like a great idea Whip.
