DC Universe Online

Does anyone have the same issues with lag i do with this game? I've not come across one person really so i believe it is possibly my set up? 

Basically when ever i play it takes ages for NPC's and PC's to appear, even interactive items take a whilst to appear. When they do appear it takes a whilst to interact. 

The worst is when i'll try and enter a combat situation. For example the game will firstly takes ages to load up anything to fight, when they do load up they don't move, when they do start moving they will be floating in the air or running into the ground. 

Now for example i can go pummel one of grods gorrilias but nothing will happen, hits will register but there health won't go down. If i fly away maybe 5 minutes later all the hit points start coming up.

This happened in the Beta, and i never purchased the game. Now it's free to play and it's doing the same thing. I'm ok on Braniacs ship at the start, and sometimes the station, but it's impossible to play once entering the city.

I have a virgin media 20meg connection, nat type 2, my playstation is cabled and not wireless.

every other game i play i don't experience this or anything like this.

Any ideas what could be possibly wrong? Does the game only like Nat 1, do i need to open more ports than the standard ports for PS3 gaming?

I wasn't going to go on last night but i changed my mind and went on and yeah it was very laggy,everyone was arguing in the chatbox as well blaming F2Ps(so i kept quiet,LOL)

FWIW it was fine on Thursday night the last time i was on

Odd, I'm wireless on Virgin 10Mb and no lag so far... I'll log in again in a bit...

It could just be me, or maybe iv'e just reinstalled the game at the wrong time. But BETA was like it almost constantly for me, and now it's like it when iv'e installed it for the F2P. Could be just coincidence...

It's the some for me & I remember the beta having this issue, I put it down to the server issues & being so busy. I don't have this issue with Pc version so I'm sticking to that for now till things are working that bit more better.

Yeah the servers a bit packed (makes a change) if you are going to an area, slow down in your movement before you enter the area.

I had this earlier. It only got really bad when I switched from PvP to PvE. Made it funny though, there I was just running down the street after trying to do another mission (for about 5mins I was hitting things and nothing happened) and suddenly I'm getting shot, gaining XP and my progress bar is going up.

Should probably sort itself out soon though.

Guys is the update of DC Universe like 14 gb ??

[metallicorphan]

well thats the game really

you download the 130meg thing and then launch that,and then you download the game,and its 17gig,but you don't have to download it all in one go

[rabiuddin]

So its necessary to download the 17 gig update or whatever?
