    Since I started playing again I seem to get a lot of unexplainable lag. I often play Assassin and a lag spike is a serious problem when you rely on a lunge actually ending where you would expect it. Other classes are more forgiving but it stays a notable phenomenon. IT's the worst when I just joined a server or a match begins. Lunge catapults me over the edge, I miss perfect backgrapples if the target happens to move even slightly and so on.

    Am I just unlucky or are there others with the same problem. I often have these lag issues although the ping in the stats is constantly under 60ms.

    I've had similar issues when my graphics card overheated, but other than that I can't think of anything. I've not played the most recent release, so if other people are having this issue it could be something else.

    Yup. Suddenly people gets lag by no reason. It appears randomly... lag spikes on the begin , ping goes higher.... I think It's the new update problem.
    I did not found the problem yet.

    I'll start monitoring that then. Graphics card should be fine but I'll take a closer look at that too just in case.

    Not entirely sure as I've had some lag spikes in the 4 days or so prior to the update
    Then again it was mostly on the Racquemis servers, so I just chalked it up to the server itself

    The lag spike issue probably happened because i forgot to set the CPU priority to 'Above normal' after the update

    When all servers are full they use around 92% of CPU cycles. the same machine hosts scripts that update the webbased server browser which checks all servers in rapid succession every 2 minutes. this can cause lag spikes.

    I've now changed the priority, so it should be fixed again

    I'm having some weird lag issues even on low ping servers as well. I've found myself lunging off the map or what looked like people grappling me mid lunge.

    I don't know what's happening with Uber servers on crossfire right now. When I join to one of them I usually play like a 3 minutes and *bam* Lost Connection to server.

    While playing these 3 minutes I'm having a very strange lag spike like a every 20 sec.

    This has begun quite a lot on servers where my ping is low compared to servers where my ping is moderately high.

    In once such instance, four separate players fell to their deaths, including me. In another instance, I juiced, I was katana grappled by an assassin, and when I sync'd up again, it showed the assassin using a shuriken launcher grapple.

    It's not common but it's a potentially game-breaking issue. It doesn't seem to affect ALL players in the server but it most definitely affects multiple players at once.
