Great map, you can tell the creator has spent alot of time working on the layout and gameplay but in my opinion the rubber banding issue isn't bearable (like walking down a hill and nearly dying, we put up with it)

 

My guess is we'll see this map off the rotation in a week or two, unless anyone has heard about upcoming fixes?

 

EDIT: Just checked the bug feedback at PR and there's no mention of rubber banding

 

EDIT: The bug report of the APC is there but a solution won't be given until the next client release not a server hotfix, how long till the next update? 9months? goodbye Shijia Valley

It has been two days since the patch... Wanda Shan didn't get a hate thread this quickly...

played it for the first time last night and had some rubber man issues though the map its self makes up for it.

 

Can reducing your graphics setting aid in reducing this effect or is it all to do with the complex map setup?

No, rubber banding is server side I believe, caused by mis-information on where the character is located, the servers response is to teleport the character to the perceived location... although I can't see the link here with a large detailed map or maybe the link is obvious either way it needs to be fixed, the rubber banding is intense!

i dont get rubber banding but then again i live about 5-10 kms from the server.

Dunno, Honestly ive had no issues rumming it. Both on my lapt top and my main desktop.

 

The maps layed out well and the flags are fun to fight over, Locally I have no rubber banding issues which leads me to think its a server side issue.

But why would one have such intense rubber banding on this map and not others?

I've asked the whole team and they all notice it, how can it be a server side issue when it is not felt on such maps like Fools Road, Iron eagle (similar size) etc.

 

I would argue it is a map bug.

It isnt a map "bug". It is just the size and complexity of the map which affects both the players and the server. BF2's engine is being pushed to it's limits with maps of that size and complexity

Yup!

 

It's a gorgeous map that seems to be designed well but appears that it's either on the brink or just over the limit of what can be run in bf2.

 

Last night with <40 people in the server it was still a bit laggy

Oh well just imagine it in ArmaII:PR.

The rubber banding issue seems to be a problem with the BigD server. Haven't seen it reported from any other server, nor have I encountered it when playing on other servers. I temporarily disabled battlerecorder on server 2 just now to see if that helps alleviate the issue, please report the results.

It used to happen a lot on Quinling (ie - Really bad when you first start then slowly alleviates during the round for me anyway).

I can't help but ask why the servers can't handle it.. People have thrown massive donations in too support upgrades and server costs.

Time to stop buying drinks with little umbrellas and make sure it goes to fixing these issues.

thats what im waiting for i ahvent even botherd to download and reinstall pr

because of A2PR

ye ive played it on the likes of TG and =H= and can report no rubber banding

The Rubber Banding is annoying but the thing that annoys me is the crashing as it is a great map but the crashing just sadly ruins it but if it can be fixed it will be a great map.

Still a bit of rubber banding going on... and the server just crashed then on the map.

I want to see this map but:

 

Well, as I go to open up PR 0.966 and give it a test ....it appears it does not want to run at all. It freezes at the initial PR loading screen.

 

Anyone else get this?

Some DI members have the same thing

Im just slowly reinstalling it....:disgust:

donations go to server running costs, not upgrades, unless more people start donating :hint:

From what I've heard upgrades aren't the problem, it's bandwidth.

Don't quote me on that.

Shija seems to be pretty tough on the computer but I found the slowdown and mini-freezes I was getting went away after a few minutes of play.

I dont think its the map our server runs it fine with no lag at all, maybe time to update the servers?

Ok the R-DEV AFsoccer has said he will look into this and work on a solution.

 

good news!

 

But the performance of the Bigd server also plays apart, I also understand it can be expensive to upgrade etc.

Mmm, I seem to have nothing but problems with BF2 and PR on this computer. It will play Crysis 2 on everything high with no slow down and no worries, but then to play BF2 I have to turn the textures down to medium, AA off and still get issues.

 

Random crashes all the time.

 

Burning Sands ALWAYS crashes as soon as I try to spawn in.

 

Some maps will load only if the game has being freshly started (for example if I'm playing whatever map, the round ends, and then Iron Ridge comes on, it ALWAYS crashes. Same with Lashkar.

 

And now, this new map, rubber band like a mofo and then crash at the game's discretion.

 

NOT COOL PR, NOT COOL.
