> I run 6 ARK servers. When I have people on them my servers use about 300-100 Kbps max. Online games do not take huge amounts of data. Also if you have having HUGE lag issues most of the time its on your end. I love when people complain about this and are using Wifi. Or they have 3-4 switches in there network. Or use Cat5 cables not even Cat5E. Most of the time I see 7-10ms of ping. It could just be your ISP. If you are using cable and they use a shared network. You will always have issues.

I have my console directly connected to my modem with a Cat5E cable, to a 75Mbps connection, of which the only other device connected is my PC - which I never use simultaneously with my console, it’s an either/or situation. My NAT type is open and I have all the correct ports forwarded.

I see nothing wrong with my connection. Nobody else uses it, I’m the only one in my home. I get NO lag in other games unless it’s a P2P connection and the host is terrible.

Again, I find it highly unlikely that the problem is on my side considering BF4 and BF1 are the ONLY games I’m having this problem with. I can play even more demanding and populated games like Planetside 2 or several MMOs all day long without any latency or rubberbanding issues - but I can’t play ONE MATCH of Battlefield 1 without seeing warning icons and rubberbanding. My ping can be incredibly low in-game and I’ll STILL see lag spikes and rubberbanding every game.

I seriously can’t understand how some people are ADAMANT that it’s something on the user’s end when multiple people express that they get no lag in other games, and ONLY have the problem with this specific game.
