Hey guys,
There has been a lot of community talk about lag hacks both in game and here on the forums.
I want to assure everyone that we at Vogster take the lag issue very seriously and we will find a solution.
First of all, it is important to understand that players cannot gain an advantage from intentional lagging in CrimeCraft. CrimeCraft has been optimized to accommodate pings up to 300ms because we have players from around the world. When you see lag in game, this is largely due to your own connection. To a player in Kazakhstan with a ping of 250ms, American players with a ping of 100-150ms will appear to lag slightly. This can lead to game play that looks like cheating. This is, unfortunately, still a fact of life in online games with a global player base.
We’ve recently seen a large growth spurt in several global regions. We are currently examining options for adding local servers for those players, but we are also trying to find a solution that would allow everyone to keep playing together no matter where they are.
While we are looking at options to improve server performance, it’s possible that we will go to a solution where players with extremely high ping will be auto-kicked from matches. This high ping can be caused, in some cases, by player interference, but usually it is caused by connection issues. These players will have to wait for regional servers to be installed.
We will work to address this as quickly as possible in and will keep you informed.
Whatever route we go, we will let you know in advance of making any change that affects your game play.
