Ok first of all i have read the stickies and i have gone to the wiki. I've tried the steps in the wiki and no luck.

So here is my problem: Well i log in and the chat box is ok and all, but then when i play the game other people tend to disappear and i cant locate them and i always get killed. Also, when someone is killed they stay on the same place and fall down constantly like if they were getting killed every second. Well hope i gave enough information and i hope you can help me. Thanks in advanced.

If you did everything, then I don't think you will lag less.


Just to make sure, did you:

1- Cleared your cache?

2- Closed all other windows?


Where do you live? If you live far from the server (Canada), then you'll lag more.

Are you talking about the occasional everyone stops everything and you die after the lag is done? If so that happens to everyone once in a while since the x-mas update. @The people falling down its just they haven't respawned and THEY are lagging

@Hazard its not really "lag" its more of a server overload freeze/glitch of some type.

You are describing a "lag freeze." They have been occurring since the last update. When it happens everyone in your screen just walks into a wall drops down a ladder, shoots at the same spot etc... You can still walk around but if you leave that screen you won't be able to see anyone.

You can still be killed by people during a lag freeze. It's glitch abuse but it is hard to prove.

Hopefully it will be repaired after the next update.
