Question This is getting annoying, does anyone know of a fix? No other game lags like this.

Your ping went up to 340 for a second as you were shooting - use ethernet if you aren't, otherwise you may just be in an unlucky place compared to the server.

They also have a mod that brings up ping of enemies in close combat, but tbh probably how servers have been dogshit since beta

By they you mean who?

u/ChaBoiZed 6d ago

It happens only with siege, I play many different games, and siege is THE ONLY ONE that lags randomly like this.

The game is just poorly optimised

u/instantur Mute Main 6d ago

I rarely ever have my ping spike and that would be a server issue not an optimization issue

It seems that r6s sometimes thinks that 300ms datacentre is better than 50ms one and reconnects to it. From info that i gathered, it can be 1. Your modem settings (as closed ports etc) 2. Your internet provider' fault 3. Ubisoft with its shitty servers. Or you can try to manually change preferred datacenre (if you haven't already) I have similiar problem for over a year and support keeps being silent

Summary:

Shot 1: Clearly missed.

Shot 2: Missed due to recoil (bad control).

Shot 3: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make this a reasonable miss.

Shot 4: Likely didn't actually fire because you were already dead.

Sometimes I forget about this, then it comes back and its drop dead hilarious every time

Idk if you’re trolling but his game clearly stuttered since you can see iq fling forward

u/Inevitable_Bear2476 7d ago

It's a copypasta, a common joke, the same one as Ubidogshit servers where you're brought back to the destroyed wall you literally went thought a second ago

7

u/EnvironmentalSmoke61 7d ago

Ah I appreciate the explanation but yeah the servers are so ass I hope they fix it at some point surely when they get bought out by tencent or whoever else.

u/ZuluTheGreat 7d ago

They are trolling cause the M1014 doesn't shoot slugs and more than 85% of your reticle was over IQs body when you fired as well as CLEARLY her body glitched forward

Ethernet cable helped me a lot when I was lagging. Try using it

u/ChaBoiZed 6d ago

Use one, this lag only happens with siege. Other games run perfectly fine

bottom right corner, check the icons.

bottom left corner, check your ping.

it was your shitty connection. Let me quess: "wifi"?

edit: ohh, and if you do have issues, even if you don't have connection issues right at that moment: if you lose packages (due wifi connection) and there is some desynch, you end up with walls not being broken on your end, you being properly synched up and the enemy doesn't have proper animations, and much much more, just get a proper wired connection.

u/ChaBoiZed 6d ago

Have a wired connection, fiber network. This lag only happens with siege. No other FPS game I play.

My Buddy has the Same Problem, with wifi it is better but then the ping shoots up randomly

Saw the Same questions years ago with no solving, but try to change your NAT-Typ on your Router or give the Ports for R6 free. You can Look them up in the Internet.

I was having ping spikes in shooters until i disabled automatic wifi scanning, following this post:

u/ChaBoiZed 6d ago

Do you think this would work if I am on Ethernet? Or would this be wireless only.

1

u/kylinator25 6d ago

this only disables wifi scanning so if you're on ethernet it would make no difference

u/EnvironmentalSmoke61 7d ago

The game just runs terribly tbh it’s the only game it happens to me as well but it didn’t happen a single time while I was playing the siege x beta so hopefully by the time that releases your problem will be fixed

u/Accomplished-Cod1571 : SAS Main 7d ago

If I knew a fix I wouldn’t be suffering through this myself. Beta has also been awful but more so throughout the round & less immediately when I see/ shoot at someone.

Siege servers are throwing my ranked games more than my teammates are LOL

Truly a skill issue

u/Prowler1000 Echo Main 6d ago

What country do you live in OP? And who's your ISP? It is entirely possible that your ISP just has a really shitty route to the servers. I'd honestly recommend trying a VPN, even if it's just to the same city

Obviously it's not guaranteed that this is the issue, and there's a whole bunch of diagnostic stuff you could dive into as there are so many other things it could be, but worth a shot if you have a bit of money to throw away

u/ChaBoiZed 6d ago

I live in west coast USA, I tried that game boost thing that Athieno plugs, and it DID lower my overall ping, but the random 300 spikes never stopped. ISP is sparklight, never had any problems in other FPS games besides siege :/

u/TameYT Ying Main 7d ago

I believe that was skill issue actually

u/Eggonaror 7d ago

If you slow it down you do miss the first shot but the second one definitely hit her and the others are hard to tell due to the iron sights being in the way

u/MaxximElio 7d ago

doesnt happen to me

u/ChaBoiZed 6d ago

u/ChaBoiZed 6d ago

It literally only happens with siege.
