Multiplayer Flickering?

[love2camp]

So I've had no issues in singleplayer, but when I tried multiplayer, all the other players keep flickering.
Suffice to say, spotting others when they flicker is quite hard, not to mention hitting them when they move and you only see them half the time :o
Anyone else encountered this? or have suggestions?

I have the same problem but not all the time. Some players are fickering, other not. I think its connected to the ping rate of other players.

i think this is possibly true.
its very annoying though, trying to shoot every flicker that moves all over the place.

must be connected to the frequent freezes in game as well - lag of other players, moving, joiing, or anything really.

what it means for me is that my controls are released, and i stand up in the open and cant switch or shoot guns.
by the time i get control back again, because i've stood up in the open, i'm already dead.

Woah, this is no good, i find many servers with good connections, as long as i stick to full green bar servers i'm fine, i see this if i join a high ping server, u?

[poontangcream]

nah, i get this on the dedicated servers [me green, they green], as thats all i play atm !

in some ways its.. worse... i don't know how it got that way...

the early dedicated servers that had odd names were a bit better tbh. i think they were CI testing them before the game was released in the US...
as they've since disappeared...

edit:
read this post for the very different dedicated servers that were online before its US release:
Alternative MP dedicated servers?

I have this problem too. I is VERY annoying, almost impossible to enjoy a game. Anybody out there came up with a solution yet??

[Blade01]

Strange issue, my 4 other clanmates who play in the UK with me vever see this issue as long as you play on low ping servers.

[love2camp]

I only joined the green three-bar servers, so reckon it was low ping...
Atleast it's not just me :|

[AntiV3nom]

So far I havent seen a server with a low ping, they all suck for some reason.

[Blade01]

That'll be your connection that sucks or your rig is not up to par, no issues with servers for me & 8 other UK users that i know personally.

There are many reasons why your pings could be fubar, it's not the games fault.

Now i'm not a fanboiy before you start, i'm thoroughly hacked off with the piss poor dev support/updates on what should have been a good game too.
