Lag

[wishy 5]

Almost everytime i play the game lags, except in games with 3 players per team. Average FPS is around 40 but ofc it goes from red to green in a few seconds. Bigger maps with 15+ players per team tend to lag especially, sometimes up to a minute. Also when i get shot at close range I lag which is especially frustrating as its hard to win gunfights. I also lag a bit unpon respawning. My ping is not the best and sometimes unstable but its not bad either. The people who post videos on reddit dont seem to lag with FPS always in green zone as well as youtube videos from people like princessdi and xia dont seem to lag either. I dont lag when I create a pro game as the only player.

The pic is a random one from the first game I joined today. FPS is 26 which is a bit worse than usual and kept changing within the yellow range and I had trouble moving my tank. As you can see there is a lot of people around me and I am getting shot at. 

Is it a server issue or what? I play in north american server

i have 4gb in total and im not running any other program

whats anisotrophic filtering

There is your problem, 4GB of memory is not enough to play this game smoothly with lots of players in one battle

I think all the different paints that players are wearing have to be loaded in & eat up memory which is why more players = lag

Also anisotropic filtering makes distant objects look better

Anyway the only solution I can think of is to upgrade your memory to 8GB or turn down all graphic related options to mimimum

How much RAM do you have? If there isn't atleast 4GB available then the game seems to stutter a lot even if the framerate is fine

Decrease your resolution from in game settings and turn off anisotropic filtering, should free up memory

the most frustrating is not the low fps but the change because even if it stays in high orange fps range i know what to expect but when it suddenly changes from green to red i cannot shoot accurately

Yea I do the same too lol

It is weird tho because in pro battles even if its 9v9 and there are 10000 mines on the map I get no stuttering, if I load into an MM lobby I get stutters every few seconds
