Ok last night it was about 2am est in the USA I flew some games and had no Conn problems. Now at that time for me there aren't alot people flying it was great. I didn't even see the slow Conn warning. Now its 8:30 am and there are a ton of people flying and now I'm losing Conn left and right. There's bad lag and I'm getting slow Conn alerts. So is it time to expand the playing fields again it seems we are getting jammed up again with so many new players it.seems it to much for the game

Hey Bunn!!!!! I feel your pain bro! Here's the thing.
We all love the awesome grafics and magical water, the tree are cool too, until you make that desperate dive to loose say a Lapa and find yourself headlong into a said tree. I'm not sure if its the amount of players as much as the amount of data the players are bringing with them in the game (magical water, trees, shadow and those turn on/off options in settings.

While back I was asking the players in game what if any options they had on. My survey, unscientific as it was pointed to this:

Magical water= major lag! When those players left lag did to.
Trees a close second to Magic water.
From there thru the options list the less options turned on in game the less the lag.
With h clouds being the least effect on lag.


Again totally unscientific, but seemingly telling of the main causes of the lag.


I personally turn off all options except for engine and guns.


Be interesting to know if that's is truly a reason for the dreaded lag!
