Slow running then desyncing

[Ramalamadingdong 2]

A friend of mine recently bought the game and has been running with our group. However he jogs about half pace to everyone else. We made sure he hasn't got hands up, clicked right mouse button, double tapped shift, got him to healthy to make sure, etc, etc, he is definitely running about half pace to everyone else for no obvious reason.

 

Then if he uses sprint to keep up he start rubber banding around everywhere on other peoples screens and will desync to everyone else and be about 100 yards away on his screen from where he is on everyone elses screen.

 

His ping is 45 compared to other peoples 20-30 so cant see how that would make such a huge difference. Since its only happening to him we have assumed it must be a problem at his side, anyone else seen anything like this? or point me in the direction of another thread?

What's his FPS roughly? You also start rubberbanding when the game can't follow what you're doing because you've got low FPS.

My Australian buddy had this problem in Breaking Point for Arma 3. It was his shitty laptop he was playing on. Now that he has a brand new, gaming desktop, he has no problems with this, in Arma or Dayz

Thanks for the replies, i shall investigate later tonight after work, i don't know what his rig is exactly but i know he has been talking of upgrading it so i imagine its near the lower end of the requirements.

What GafMast said represents pretty much what I was thinking. It's worth checking out. It's not a shame to admit ones FPS is low on Standalone. Mine is and I have a good gaming PC. It's simply not optimised yet and hardly anything you can do about it. (Other than upgrading endlessly and making sure you have Intel-components, as the engine hates AMD.)

Done a little more searching and found this on another forum, looks to be a (sorta) known bug

Yeah, this is exactly what happend to a buddy of mine: He runs slower than all of us. He rubber banding around everywhere on other peoples screens. and he gets invisible sometimes.

Off topic but it's the very first time i've ever heard someone mention intel and performance in the same line haha this sucks for me... Everything i'm using atm is AMD :( still average 30 FPS in towns and 60 anywhere else though with my R9 290 after editing the cfg file though. I just wish it was 60 FPS All the time, game would be a real beauty then. I just helped someone fix their slow running problem though using information taken from this thread so cheers guys - The low FPS was the issue
