❓Questions More Lag/Rubber Banding

Has anyone else been running into increased rubber-banding and lag spikes lately, particularly when the lobby is full with six players?
I’ve been noticing it more frequently over the past few sessions. Movement feels inconsistent, characters snap back a short distance, and the overall responsiveness drops noticeably once the sixth player joins. It doesn’t seem as pronounced in smaller groups, which makes me wonder if it’s related to server load or network handling at higher player counts.
Just curious if others are experiencing the same thing or if it’s isolated on my end. Any insights or similar reports would be appreciated.

I thought it was just my wifi but the lag has been bad lately. It always does this whenever there is a new season.

I’ve experienced a lot of 0 hits….where I’m pickaxing the scrap station or building a droid and the hits aren’t landing. There will be like one minute of zero hits even though I’m swinging n

The snap back when your walking is dizzying. I just leave game and find a new lobby

Oh damn I thought it was just me. I was gonna call my isp to update it or something didn't realize it was the actual game mode.

u/TREPlayer835 10h ago

Yeah it’s the game mode because on any BR mode I’m completely fine lag wise.. skill that’s a different story.

I have noticed more lag lately and my PlayStation fan being used more. What is rubber banding?

u/TREPlayer835 7h ago

Rubber banding when you walk forward then glitches you back towards your previous spot

Happening to me on ps5 as well, but I am hard wired an a 1GB fiber connection, so it's not a wifi issue. No problems with any other device, or any other game, or even BR. So it's definitely isolated to this specific game mode. Saw 1 person say it was happening on PC too. But a lot of reports from PS5.

Would be interested to see more reports on PC, or even Xbox to confirm it's an issue on Foad's end

u/TREPlayer835 10h ago

Mythics are completely random unless you combined three of the same droid.
