Dont know why but I always seem to wind up joining games where the host has a potato router. Last night on round 5 the host died (guess he didnt realize that after everyone else completes the round you'll get auto revived) and left the match, so it picks a new host... the guy who is still using dial up, apparently... and we ended up failing because of the massive rubber banding. Lost two xp boosters that match because of a poor host (or two) =/
When are devs gonna learn that it's better to have dedicated servers?

A large part of the problem is that MEAMP's networking is woefully optimized, sure, dedicated servers work (though they are costly to maintain, so a company is unlikely to use them for games that don't have a subscription based payment model), however, peer to peer can also work if everybody involved has at least decent connections, and the game's networking is properly optimized. Thing is, MEAMP doesn't just require a decent connection, but a pretty damned good one (especially for the host, but also for the clients).

It's been fairly lucky for me, I've ran into only a few players who host with a connection that badly. If I notice they are hosting I drop the run. I agree with others that so long as your connection is fine all the way through, there should be little issues. But I've noticed that there are some players with great connections right up to their router, then they run wirelessly to their PC...  |

I've stopped playing MEAMP because of the poor netcode
The game wasn't as great as ME3MP but it was still enjoyable despite a lot of bad game designs, but the netcode really killed it for me and 2 IRL friends

Yeah, I started playing again recently, and it's been bad. (Xbox) I feel like this game doesn't have region-specific matchmaking. However, the population of this game in pugs seems to be very small so I try to start a match with anyone who presses the start button. Sadface.

Havent had much problems, except after the may update, been seeing more of disconnects. Almost saw none before it, is it the culprit? I dunno.
Yesterday one host lobby, I was able to join it and ready, but after ~10s it kicked me out by "disconnected..."

Yesterday one host lobby, I was able to join it and ready, but after ~10s it kicked me out by "disconnected..." Interesting. I have had the same experience - the disconnects have been spiking since around May, most notably quickly after entering a lobby or being spawed on wave 1. I did not even remember there being an update, but maybe it is related then. I play regularly with a buddy of mine and he has had similar experiences. Re-starting the router and/or flushing the DNS cache on PC seems to mitigate this to some extent. |
