multiplayer freezing/lag ??

MarkY91

so ive never had problems with a online game before until mw3

first few days were fine then last 2-3 days ive noticed small freezing of a second or so, people with mics do ocmplain when it happens so i know its not just me...im having full bar connections so its not lag on my side. so thepast few days i rarely win a 1v1 gun fight and its so pissing me off since i realised its to do with this problem its killed my k/d and makes me not even wana play the game anymore


anyone else experiencing this?

If your playing for K/D then your playing the wrong game. Anyway no I haven't had any problems with the game freezing or lagging

How would you define a "good" K/D? Anyway I don't think any of the xbox lads on UPC have had freezing or lag problems, It might be a PS3 only problem ( Black ops on ps3 was terrible with lag/ stuttering when it came out)

Have upc and was on a 2bar or 3bar all of yesterday. Seem to be getting killed around corners which is annoying :rolleyes:

Thomasheen

Same problem the game is unplayable for me at the moment. I'm used to lag but not screen freezing for 2 seconds only to come back dead. Happens every game now. Never had it this bad before

Wesc.

I'm the exact same along with 4 of my friends. I've gotten used to it though

Kd > Life lol

tallus

I loaned the game to my nephew because of the lag annoying me so much.

On UPC and Xbox live.

IsMiseDaithair

im with upc and play on ps3 and the freezing and lag is drivin me mental :mad:

oranbhoy67

im on eircom and ps3 & the lag is a disgrace, been advised to turn theatre mode off so im gonna try that... very frustrating spraying an enemy with bullets then they turn around & kill you with one bullet!!!

skapegoat

How do you turn theatre mode off and what are the consequences?

zero19

Bit of lag here too, other games online work fine.

multiplayer > options > theatre mode > disable

it means you cant watch replays of your previous game or upload videos through the theatre mode, supposdly having it on can cause lag although it didnt on black ops!!

MarkY91

hmm so its not only me having this problem!!

relax on the k/d comments i was just using it as a reference to compare how i was doing before the problems to now... 1v1 gunfight = lose

never had a problem with online games before except mw3 the past 3-4 days, complete joke!

coadyd

mine said 75 befoe i got into a lobby...NEVER have i had that before! so its my ping being screwed up lately thats the problem..

coadyd

75 is not too bad , but under 50 is ideal . restart you modem and router i always do before a gaming session and it improves my ping . Dont know why just does

Shammy

to be honest shammy i dont trust the CoD ping times.Never get into to low ping games and like you i find the 100ms game lag free(unless you're playing MW3:pac:)

Liam90

Im also getting bad lag (ps3 with eircom). It has also screwed up my k/d ratio which i do care about, im so sorry i guess i should be playing a different game.

Eldoco

upc are a bunch of !!!!!!! if you play wireless on xbox live the connection is ****e which i have no choice as xbox no were near cable input...the lag is reduced a lot if you can play through your eternet cable....

bridgemond

Had no problem the last few days but its crap today. Just logged on for few games and even when its trying to put me in a match the music in the back ground is skiping and the match is just constant lag. With eircom 8mg and xbox live

MarkY91

today im still getting into games with a mimimum of 75mm ping...****ing disgrace im gona try mw2 and black ops to see if i get high ping in them to determine if its my broadband or the game giving me high ping

breadmonkey

I just tried to give it a spin there and it was lagging in the pregame lobby to the point where it's simply not playable. I'm with BT in the UK

MarkY91

UPDATE..

speedtest.net and pingtest.net all say my ping is 20 at worst, everything is perfect


yet i still cant get into a below 75 ping game on mw3 :S i tried mw2 and im having the same problem..ive never EVER had this problem before in the 3 years of having a ps3

iMuse

It seems to be a PS3 issue and nothing to do with your connection because people across multiple ISP's are having the problem, just gotta wait till they patch/fix it.

i've not been free to sit down for a game since thursday (which was working fine then). tried to get into mercenary about 20 mins ago and as soon as it started looking for games, the music started to skip - a solid 2 seconds of silence for every 3 seconds of music. i thought it would improve once the match started but it was unplayable.

i've a ~12mb sky dsl line (i'm in UK) with current pings to google.com of 29ms, playing on xbl. there's no problem with the line. this game could be getting sold tomorrow at this rate

How exactly is it UPC's fault then? :rolleyes:

The reason your connection is "****e" can be put down to a number of factors including (but not limited to) distance from modem and wireless interference.

i am sure its not upc's fault...tests say im getting 25mb download and 2.5 upload and a ping ranging from 10 to 20

its gotta be a problem on the games side? i cant play it until its fixed thank god im goign to buy assassins creed today **** you mw3

Kevtherev

Tried playing today, couldn't even get into a game. It would keep freezing in the lobby and the music would stop for four or five seconds. I don't get much time to play but when I have a few hours and this ****e happens.

I'll give that a try when I get home from work.

Getting lag on 4 bar connection, 100Mb BB and over Ethernet - I'm prefiring a guy coming around the corner and somehow he seems to skate through my bullets on the odd occasion, not even a hitmarker when the aim was perfectly on target :mad:

I had this problem the other day. Tried restarting router/Xbox, and still experienced it. I cleared the Xbox cache (something I only recently discovered for another reason) and that seemed to fix it immediately.

Spudman_20000

Yep, clearing the cache solved the problem for me too, but I still can only join games with what seems to be a stupidly high ping.

I think it was the second game update the borked it up for most people. Everything was hunck dory up until that.

MarkY91

yep everything was fine til update 1.03, cant get in a game unless its >75mm ping :mad:

huge thread going on in the callofduty forums about it, loads of users game recordings of lag/freezing/died when should have killed him etc all with perfect full bar connection...exackly my problem
