the problem isn't lag. i got no rubber banding, no red or yellow chain. simply, my client isn't communicating with the hive. a friend can be connected with me on the same server and see that i have a normal ping, so lag to the server isn't there. would be nice to have a dev chime in here and give an explanation as to what is causing this and how to fix it.

well, when i spend 4 days trying every server i see listed on the server browser, i think i can safely assume that it's not server specific.

my take on the (0.30.114008) patch. i don't know. i haven't been able to play for the past 4 days as every single server i connect to shows everyone with a ping of Zero (0), and i can not interact with the menu items. if i right click on an item it just shows "receiving" next to the cursor. every server is the same thing. it shows a ping just fine on the server browser, but once i connect, nothing.. i can run around and get places, but i can't access my weapons or items. it's like i connect to the server, the server knows i'm there as my buddies see me on the player list, and my character loads. it just sits there without moving to them, even though i can round around them. i can see my biddies around me, but they are stationary to me.. so something is really FUBAR and it would seem that my client can not communicate with the hive.. though it can read my character status and load all my items. would be nice to get this sorted so i can get back to finding more bugs and exploits.

can't test the game if it can't be played. this happened two patches ago. thought they fixed it, but i guess one step forward and two steps back is the norm.

great update guys. now every server i join, it displays 0 pings for everyone, and i can't access any of my gear.

been having similar issues with FPS drops. tested various in-game video settings as well as video driver settings, and different driver versions. doesn't seem like this FPS drop is GPU related at all, as i can play around with the settings and the FPS hick-ups remain unchanged. as in- i can set every thing on to max settings and down to minimum settings, FPS remains the same. 30+ FPS for a few seconds, then drops to 5-7 FPS. when i exit and go to the main menu, the FPS jump up to 180+ FPS. something was changed in the most recent patch that is causing this. oddly, my buddy is not having this issue. he runs an I7 with a Nvidia card, where i run a Phanom II X4 and an AMD card. i hope this gets rectified on the next patch so i can get back to testing the Alpha.
