Title: Rubberbanding a lot lately
Post by: robert_namo on October 27, 2011, 11:09:27 pm
I don't know if its the server or my computer but after that last horrid patch, I noticed many many times especially in 1v1 situations on battle that my character when backing up and then trying to move in, I would slingshot back a few and would never be able to get to my ideal spot to swing. Also, when fighting shielders, when I get super close my guy looks like he is going through and then behind the shielder but he really isn't so I don't know which way to block. Also what is up with the swing animation not showing the right swing? I'm holding my swing thinking its a left attack and halfway through it goes overhead causing me to miss cause I wasn't staring down the person but rather off to the side. I am bad at this game, but this is making me worse. Should I reinstall? Quit? play archer? go 10 athletics and just run around calling duels? Also is it just me???

As a shielder that lagging through the shield is usually an insta-death for me.

There are a lot of discrepancies in the game at the moment, but a lot of people dont believe in it.

I mean cmon it's all player error right?

Getting the incorrect swing and people warping through me as well. A lot of times I also start seeing the swing when it's already half way through the animation.

If you ask me it's lag, not sure if client or server side though (or both).

I often have the same problem, even occasionally happens when attacking. I will make a very definitive left or right swing, the animation will start that way and then warp into an overhead shot.  This usually benefits me but I imagine it's the same thing I'm experiencing when I'm certain I'm blocking in the correct direction and before the strike lands but seems to go right through the block.

 Doesn't happen all the time, I don't think it would be client side lag at least on my end.  I normally have 30ms or lower ping on NA and it's not spiking.

I think it may be related to why arrows sometimes go through your opponent or at least the problem seems very similar.

Likewise, I have a ping no worse than 40 on the EU servers.  :P

I get all off the above plus an extra one......

Switching weapons glitches me out and i'm left holding a melee weapon that i'm tring to use as a crossbow.  The only problem is that my axe isn't capable of actually firing :D  Usually it takes 10-15 seconds to sort itself out and when it is happening it will happen every 5 minutes.

I think it might be my computer though.  Ever since WSE got implemented my comp has struggled and I find that making sure M&B is the only thing running helps a lot.  I probably just need to clean my comp out.

The one thing I saw happen much more often (again) after the last patch was riders teleporting after gettin dehorsed. Very annyoing and often to the advantage of the rider.

Just had a not so fun 10 rounds or so of rubber banding, strange hitboxes and general slowness.

My FPS was a stable 120, ping was 40 and things were still somehow strange.  :?

Arrows went through people or hit them even if they were very wide.

The server needs to be reset?

I get that shield walk-through bug all the time (i'm a shielder with a short weapon).  It usually doesn't turn out well for me.

Shitty code of the original game, I think. Warping through is fucking annoying... as are all the buggy laggy stuff in this game. Warping a bit or getting wrong animations is so much more frustrating in a game like this than some FPS... let's hope M&B2 is better in that regard.

ok so um I was just watching some crpg videos and noticed many of them had their settings on high(mine are the lowest settings). I also noticed many of them did not look like their game was glitching out. So my question is, higher settings less warping?

Probably not, ummm try updating your video card, reinstall 0.241 patch , or reinstall warband
Also your computer is around the same specs as mine and i never have any of those problems

I only get the swing animation stuff on the NA servers...

In saying that I'm playing with 250ping minimum, but I find that I don't get it on AU at all and I can't recall ever seeing it happen an EU. And I get 350 ping to EU.

I have found that I will swing wide of a target and be sure that I have missed and still hit them at least a body width to the side.

I also have the weird animations where I will swing right and it will switch to an over head half way through.

I tend to run through shielders (not good for me :() at times.

None of this happened before the last patch (for me at least), and it sure isn't my comp xD.
