I have a fiber connection, so it should be fine, but Battleborn Open Beta is so laggy that it is affecting my aim. It is near unplayable for me. Movement is also extremely jerky. It might also be the fact that I recide in Norway, which might be a long way away from the Beta servers.
That might not help. Some other people are reporting similar issues, but they may be closer to the servers.
There’s a difference between log framerate “lag” and “latency” (connection speed does not affect framerate lag) - I am getting stuttering lag out the ARSE right now (no problems like this in the Closed Beta).
I tried tweaking tons of setting combinations to no avail - this is some kind of really terrible optimization error or something…

Yep there are a lot of us getting this. I can get 50-60 FPS indoors and when I walk outside they sometimes drop into the TEENS. I dont know but from just messing around in game I think they are rendering the levels further ahead of you then really they need to and are bogging down the FPS. If I look in a direction without much structures or rooms my FPS goes up and when I look towards them my FPS tanks. Of course as I said this seems to only happen in outdoor areas for some reason.
It’s very annoying, and the weird thing is that this did not happen during the Closed Beta - they somehow made it WORSE lmao.
I have to wonder if it doesn’t have something to do with the “PhysX” Nvidia Gameworks effects, cuz I see A LOT of pickups that are just chillin 5-6 feet off of the ground lol… n.nU
I’m finding occasional but frequent periods of perfect gameplay, then insane lag and teleporting just for me. Anyone else experiencing something like this?
It’ll be fine, then suddenly I’ll have to endure 10 seconds of unbelievable lag as I move around, yet other players look fine on my screen; it’s like I’m skipping around the map suddenly and I can’t aim or interact for my life. When this happens my bars drop to either yellow or red in the scoreboard.
I have no problems like this with any other game.
I made an account for this forum specifically because of the frame rate spikes. FPS games cannot have this. It is literally the death of the game.
a guy at Facebook swars fps is not affected by internet connection, and everywhere i post about fps, i see the same comment. sometimes i think the internets are not for me
i have a third world connection on a third world country and still get constant framerates, i can vouch it’s not the game or the servers. check your service provider if they are giving you variable rates or constant. for gaming, variabl rates, even when around tb/s is not worth it if it dropes to kb/s for half a match
I had both severe latncy and lag problems, rendering the game as good as unplayable. I have no such problems with other online games I play. Would be interesting to test it now, as I switched to a new provider with brand spanking new fiber lines.
That’s because you’re mistaking fps for network latency. They are completely unrelated.
In short:
I have a high-end PC which can run demanding games like Battlefield 4 maxed without problems. It is not my PC, it is most likely server related when so many experience it. I, at least, experienced lag and latency, not FPS problems.
It was as unresponsive and messy as Guild Wars 2 was during the first big event (the giant crabs), which caused latency, lag and disconnections.
Considering this is GBX have you disabled PhysiX ? This was already an issue on all the Borderlands titles.
I was responding to ZombieGuy’s post, as marked by the icon in the corner of my post (Discourse could have made this more visible, I agree…).
I have a high-end PC too, and the lag spikes are difficult to deal with. I can’t blame the other side though - my roommates are streaming TV all day.
I know. Maybe I should have clarified that it was to add more information about my experience that was also relevant
