Great Job Crytek, Well Done! :D

Crytek,

Just wanted to give a thank you for the Network Performance tweaks you have done in the past week. I haven't played this game for about a week also due to my having exams, but oh boy! the tweaks have made a difference!

Played about 6 hours today to get my fix, and probably about 30 something games. Searching for new games have been INSTANT! and I think you guys have reduced the countdown's as well because I'm getting in them a lot faster.

Lag has been almost non-existent in all those games and I had a 3 bar (Great!) and so did the other 80%+ of the other players. At one point while I was taking down enemies I was thinking "It's like I'm host while I'm not". Only two games did I have a 1 yellow bar. This is MORE than acceptable. The yellow bars were a bit strange because no-one else had them, I should have checked the host to see because it may have been because he was living in a different country.

Only had one host migration and it worked very quickly and it gave me host which is a good thing as I don't quit halfway through games, unless I have a 1 bar.

My only little gripe, I know I'm being petty, is that when I finish a game and everyone (say 10 players) are waiting for the countdown for a new maps it will suddenly look for new session and take us all out and put us elsewhere. I don't know why it does this as we already had a full lobby, no need to do this. If this could be sorted next it would be great.

Otherwise, amazing job.. lobby system seems very much up to scratch! Keep up the good work, and I'm looking forward to any new patch but considering how things stand for me I don't care much for it as the game seems to be working for me at this moment in time.

Agreed. The performance has made a massive difference. Hence my post about taking back the complaints I made.

I agree I have noticed that the game is running online better, I have even downloaded the map pack!

Wish I could say the same. After these tweaks I've been getting red bars over 75% of the time :'(

I am from the US, and it is better. Check your setup at home. The next patch may help with ping rate.
