I thought this might be the case, but it doesn't happen in other games. It's still most likely the right answer though, and it doesn't happen to the others because of the way it's rendered.CallMeSoul wrote: »the ping effects gun switching because it takes longer for the packets to tell the server that you want to change your gun, therefore the higher the ping, the higher the time needed -
I would guess it's because of how fast the response from the server is.
example: 200 ping has a slow respond from the server so it switches slower with lag.
10 ping has a very fast respond so it switches fast without any lag.
The High FPS=Slow ladder climbing doesn't make sense. The answer to why does that happen is probably the meaning of life. -
Actually if you guys record a replay and view it, WAAAAAAY off in the corner of the map you will see a stockpile of weapons. These weapons are in fact the guns you switch in and out of. These are temporarily stored in the level so that the game doesn't have to reload them every single time.
Why is it affected by ping? Well as stated above, your computer needs to send the packet info to retrieve said gun from that location and put it back in your bag. Player's bodies do the same thing under extreme lagg, where they won't respawn at the same time all the others do.
So to answer your question as to why it takes forever, is because your weapons technically aren't in your hands. -
Nothing like that. It's like this: 150+ Ping= Lag switchAll your guns you have and are using in your bags are stored on Z8s server, so when you switch your weapon, your sending a request to the server for the gun. The higher your ping the longer it takes. -
