Other players stutter and very localized lag?

Hey,

I have notice that when looking at other players, in particular when they use dragon riding (but also simply when they walk), every one look like stuttering, with abrupt animations and sometimes moving back. I cannot remember it to be that bad in DF, now it affects really everyone.

I just want to say that I AM NOT LAGGING: I myself do not have any other latency affecting me, and you can see this on many many streams on Twitch. It is even more visible in Dornogal due to more players. Was it always like this?

A visual example from a stream of Naguura. The movement of the guy arriving on Spirit of Eche’ro in the background nearby: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2235176191?t=07h04m19s

Also in some very localized places (like the southern tip of Ringing Deeps) there are massive lags, like 3-4 seconds. I wonder if this is connected?

So far I haven’t seen any of this inside dungeons, except once in Darkflame Cleft and 1-2 times in Delves. Hopefully this can all be fixed soon because this seems like it could drastically affect Season 1.

I have been noticing this as well and wondering why not more people are seeing it and/or reporting it. It’s very visible in streams and youtube videos and it seems to me it started after the TWW launch

Struggling with the same thing. Sometimes looks like players skip backwards. I’m also having frame skips / stuttering when in motion that seems like the same behaviour (as it the frame skips backwards briefly). A frame time chart shows the drops pretty clearly too.

Tried changing all the options to minimum settings and a variety of different combinations without much luck. I upgraded my CPU from a 5600X to a 5700X3D (GPU RTX 3080) which has really increased the max framerate, but still with the same stuttering behaviour. Even visible in old zones like Durotar when walking, or when people walk past.

Yes I do no think it is performance-related, because you would not see streamers with many different setups also experimenting it otherwise.

I strongly suspect it is related to the massive and random lags that are in different zones. All of this kinda looks like every player is getting some latency with the server to some extent. But since it seems to affect absolutely everyone, this is not from our side.

As I said it does not seem to affect dungeons/delves really, only in very rare instance, though in the Dawnbreaker with Dragonriding maybe I saw it too?
