Whats wrong with their computers?

How come everyone with 120+ ping lag out of every game within the first 15 seconds?

I am host of 99% of my games and it takes FOREVER to start a match because usually it takes about 10 minutes for anyone to join, and then the people who do join are 97% of the time a 120+ pinger, and when the game loads in they move about 2 meters and start to lag in place.

Next thing, MISSION SUCCESS, and that player lags out. Sometimes i am lucky enough that another player with lower ping joins their side right before the lagger leaves, but 85% of the time that doesnt happen.

The other day I made a room and it filled quick, like 5 people on both sides. 20 freaking secs later every last one of them is gone like POOF.

PLUS, I have no friends so I I cant invite no one to play.

Why does this happen to them? Happens to all of them, and im not exaggerating.

If you start the game and players keep joining in your room while you are in loading screen then they make it slower cause you have to wait for them. Also indeed some players have very slow pc, i have seen guys who join 2-3 rounds after the msg on chat that they joined in room....

Quite a lot of people seem to have pretty wonky connections, so I usually stick to joining populated rooms instead of creating new rooms.

If I do happen to create one, having a Clan Mate/Friend around to join is pretty much the safest thing you can do. But as you've claimed, your situation does not seem to allow for such a thing.

Well, you should at the very least try to make note of people with lower pings, and ask em' to be your friend. That way, you'll end up with people to invite into your room in no time.

The ping isn't necessarily related to their computer issues, though it is a direct connection issue by either being really far from the servers and/or having a slow connection from their ISP to begin with. The slow slow load ins are partially related to their computer but also to their connection to the servers. If they take forever and a day to load in chances are they have really bad FPS too and they might be trying to play the game on a computer that is quite out dated. Mix that with bad internet and/or living far from servers and you'll get laggies and people disconnecting often. No fault of Z8 or the game itself. I mean sure the servers need some work, but these peoples issues lie in their own computers and internet connections.

Ye ping is different story...has nothing to do with their slow PCs
