Some time ago I ran into issues with high monitor refresh rates. Was using a 1080ti and anything above 100hz refresh rate on multi player servers resulted in very very long log in times and upon spawning in, an exploded plane.
Only in multiplayer mind. Single player was fine.
I know ATAGs Knight and Vampire also experienced this.
Then I got a 2080ti (business had performed well and suddenly the home office needed one ) and 144hz was no issue at all in the servers. Huzzar! Right up until the last patch update… and now its back as it was before. anything above 100hz causes the same problems.
Now…. 100hz isn’t exactly a problem by any stretch! But if you have a machine capable or far beyond this and the option for 144hz is available in game then naturally you would choose to use it.
My concern here is that if I was a new player who didn’t already have experience that the game (for whatever reason) doesn’t work properly above 100hz on multiplayer servers I’d assume the game didn’t work at all and most likely just walk away and do something else.
Last night was the first time I fired up Cliffs in a while. It ended up being a couple of hours of frustration I could have done without and then (to put it in the server speak) “ATAG_Highseas rage quit”.
Maybe there should be a big sign slapped on the in game menu that says “do not go above 100hz refresh rate in multiplayer”.
Anyone else had the same ?
