So About This Latest Patch

Ho. Lee. Carp.


I've put a lot of hours into this game. A lot. A lot a lot. Far too many. It means I notice the patterns of things since I see them all the time. And this latest patch? For me, personally? God-awful.


I've had intermittent latency things happen on this game ever since dedicated servers were introduced; everyone does. My thing is a slight stagger or delay whenever there's a change in status (even someone else's, like taking a first injury, or Wraith uncloaking). But right after the 4.1.0 mid-chapter patch? It is happening every few seconds.


I was inclined to give the benefit of the doubt. Maybe it was that one killer since the ping was a little high. Maybe it was just the new chainsaw stuff. Whatever. But no. I did a few matches, each with a different killer, different map, and the stagger/lag was consistent: roughly every ten seconds, I'm getting a "skip." This would be in addition to any kind of status change (including a Plague kicking down a wall in the saloon map; that lagged me out for about 4 seconds). It made looping difficult, since suddenly I'm over --> there, and skill checks challenging. When I missed a Decisive Strike check I was braced and ready for (and I don't find particularly difficult) on acount of the "stagger," I was livid. Even my friend, spectating, was like "Uh.... that skipped from the 2/3 mark all the way to the end."


Nice. Real nice.


I don't know if it's the ridiculous aura thing, or something changed on the dedicated servers, or what. But I might as well be playing on my seven year old laptop that barely lets me do skill checks.


Mind fixing it, BHVR? Because I absolutely love this game, and now, today, I hate it, when I was still in love with it yesterday. I certainly didn't change any of my hardware or settings. You changed your game.

    An update:


    Had a match where a salty killer DC'd about five minutes in. I had sixteen counted instances of "skips."


    Played a full match after that. Sixty instances.


    That's six zero, 60.


    Wasn't happening yesterday.
