Lag spike + Invisible player = Alpha?

[thelonelyone 103]

Ok, so I was in Elektro and saw a fully gear player standing next to a fresh spawn's body with his fists up.

 

In that server I had 30-40 FPS max and rarely got any lag spikes.

But when I start running towards the player to kill him with my axe, my FPS goes from 30 to 5.3 (I know the exact number through the power of MSI Afterburner) and my game almost crashes, I actually saw the FPS dropping to 1.2... So after one or two second, my game stops shitting on itself and my FPS goes back to 30. But for some reason I'm way ahead of him, almost on the other side of the road.

 

He sees me and starts running with his M4 towards the school. I hide in a building and wait for him to come out... I hear a lot of gun shots, the M4 guy was probably fighting another guy with a SKS (maybe). I wait for a while, I see no one. Maybe they killed themselves.So I run inside the school and I hide inside one of them rooms, waiting for the guy(s) to come down.

 

Suddendly, I hear footsteps next to me and I get hit by a melee weapon, (I know it was a melee because 1. No one could shoot me through the window because I was laying down and 2. because I heard no shots) I just hear a weapon swing and it hits me (Maybe a hacker or just hardcore Lag/Desync). I start running away and my FPS drops from 30 to 4 AGAIN, I just kept pressing W hoping I wouldn't get shot while I was lagging.

 

When my FPS finally went back to 30, I was already dead.

 

Is there anyway of fixing this or the Devs have to fix it?

I experience the same type of lag spikes sometimes. They occour more when there is something dynamic like zeds, but also other players, unfortunately.

Nothing to do about it, we'll have to wait for the next patches.

Not really fun, but to be expected...
