Hi I'm Mabons and this is my life story.
I'd just been playing FC2 on the Xbox, perfect connection no lagg whatsoever. Brilliant game that, even if you don't agree I don't care. Anyways, in a happy mood, I switched on my computer, started Warband up, and thought "Yeah this will be fun". I join a duel server to warm up, Nditions. Don't know where it is located but I'm guessing Germany. When I join, I check my ping and fps. 300 ping and 10 fps. What a party. I select a great sword and go into battle. My first opponent ran forward spamming his thrust on a great sword, then when he realised I could block that, he decided *Gasp* to overhead! I see it coming, I press rmb and look up. His sword slices me in two. I hold back my rage. I check my ping again, still too high at 200. I go into another 5 fights, all lost. The only fight I won, was because the opposite of a lagg spike happened. I still do not understand it, ever since the beta, I have had the most incredible amounts of lagg I have ever seen in any of my games, on this game. The only other game I play online on my computer at the moment, 100 ping maximum. That's League of Legends. My xbox? Never ever had lagg on it, I swear by it. Maybe on a private match hosted by my friends but thats it. So what the **** is with this game that makes my computer spaz out and decide to fap rapidly on the ping-o-meter? How the **** do I fix it? And if I can't then did I waste 25 pounds buying this? Singleplayer is not my thing, (IMO Too similar to Mount&Blade) so I never play it.
tl;dr? I just wrote a long ragepost.
you think thats bad? trying playing ANY game that has punkbuster it just does what it wants
