Controller lag on PS3 Battlefield 3

ReefBreak · 30-10-2011 12:09pm #1

Anyone else on the PS3 suffering the serious controller lag problem? Apparently, Dice have recognised the problem, but only after accuser the person that first reported it that he was "on crack"!

I definitely have the problem. Under 1080, I couldn't hit barn door, but after moving to the awful 576p I started making some kills.

I knew it seemed off. I thought it was the sensitivity as I had it up to max. The beta seemed ok.

I've been experiencing terrible lag tbh..

I would be running to turn a corner and next thing I'm back where I was 3 seconds ago trying to run through a wall.. very frustrating!

Jet Black · 30-10-2011 10:59pm

Tried it and it does make it much better, the game looks worse thou. I was playing it Friday night and turned it off after an hour because the controls felt ****. I was getting worried it was just me.

I'm giving it a break until it gets patched.
It's frustrating the life out of me the way it is.

I thought MW2 had the old problem of empty a mag into someone and still die....lag has something to do with it.

I too have experienced the end up back where I am bug....teething problems goes with every game I suppose....they don't really know what the demands of the system until the game is out there in numbers.

Will I Amnt · 31-10-2011 11:51am

Just had a quick go on the 576p and it does make a fair difference,I can actually aim at people

That's a serious flaw to release a game with.

It looks absolutely terrible on the lower resolution and it's very hard to see an enemy against certain backgrounds,hopefully they can sort this out very quick.

A patch is on the way apparently:

Not sure if this lag but, there is no subtlety when I use a sniper rifle especially when I use the right stick

It's extremely annoying when you have some one in your sights need to move a mm to the lift/right and you can't

I've played around with the sensitivity doesn't make a difference

Jet Black · 04-11-2011 10:10am

Change to 576 and you'll have no problem. I'm going to wait myself until the patch as its too frustrating.

mozattack · 04-11-2011 10:50am

I am not sure if it is in my head or not but I played much better last night and felt the aiming was easier. Before today I was regular mid-table with negative k/d, yesterday I was top 3 with k/d of 1.5/1.

Coincidence or aiming improved? I dunno.

Cheers, think I'll wait for the patch to be released, heard it was out last night in the US

Small point but it's possible to get a negative kill death spread but kill/death is all ways positive.

Dont understand.

Kill divided by death will always be positive (or zero, or infinity), just not necessarily greater than 1. If you have 1 kill and 10 deaths, you'd have a k/d of 0.1 which is still positive. But we get what you mean, you normally had more deaths than kills, as in (kills - deaths) < 0.

Less than 1.0 is regarded as a negative k/d in the case of fps's.

I know yeah. I was just explaining Varik's point.

So does anyone know if this has been fixed yet? I'd like to switch my ps3 back to 1080p

Will I Amnt · 12-11-2011 12:53pm

So has there been a patch yet???ive just got back from a week away and I switched it on expecting a patch and nothing........ although someone could have been playing it during that time.

Do I still have to play in crappy resolution???

Hygro · 12-11-2011 2:35pm

I played yesterday and there was no patch pre-game ... though I have the psn version on my hard drive, so dunno if patches work the same way in those cases.

I was under the impression a patch was being released last fri/sat according to some Internet sources,it's really poor form to be leaving it so long.

I actually turned it straight off when I seen there was no update,really can't be bothered playing in low resolution.
Picked up MW3 to keep me going until its fixed,while it looks great in 1080p first impressions of multiplayer were not great,maybe I just need to get back into it since its been so long since I played a COD game.

Anyway I wish they would hurry the **** up with this patch.

Will I Amnt · 24-11-2011 2:54pm

Sooooooo!!........,,,, any chance we could get a ****ing patch please??

Will I Amnt · 30-11-2011 5:06pm

Patch released and not a mention of input lag,very bad form if it has not been addressed.

http://m.digitalspy.ie/gaming/news/a353712/battlefield-3-patch-released-for-ps3.html

Just tried it now,input lag still as bad as ever,****ing joke.
I actually can't believe it's 1 month on and it still hasn't been sorted,I'm starting to think they are incapable of fixing it.

Still not sorted? It's a pain playing at 576p the whole time. I was thinking they might not be able to fix it either otherwise they'd have done it by now.

Releasing a game that's pretty much unplayable at HD is beyond a joke

I think they messed this game up big time on ps3,they failed to acknowledge that there was even an issue with input lag for ages,people were asking about it on twitter and they just ignored it and answered all the other questions until they got so swamped by complaints they had to acknowledge it.

What I don't understand is how they can't get it back to what the beta was like,if it was that simple it would have been done by now which leads me to believe its ****ed and won't be fixed.
Their twitter is being bombarded at the moment with pissed off gamers looking for an answer,apparently the voice comms have not been patched either....,,

Will I Amnt · 20-12-2011 12:01am

Nearly 2 months now

mozattack · 20-12-2011 7:38pm

I think it is fixed no? Seems okay to me and I was one who was complaining when it first came out.

No,it's never been addressed in a patch.
You must have just got used to it

I still can't hit anything on the higher resolution,it's grand(not perfect)when I drop it back down to 576p

Will I Amnt · 03-04-2012 1:23pm

Bump.
Decided to give the game another crack today after hearing someone say their aiming has improved after the latest patch.
There is some improvement but there is still noticeable input lag.

Dice say they are still working on it :rolleyes:
It's 6 f**king months down the line and it's still not sorted,unbelievable really.

Does anybody else on here still have this issue?
It seems to work alright now for some but not others.

johnners2981 · 03-04-2012 3:54pm

Yeah it's still there, only option for me is to play at 576p

It's a bit of a disgrace really,it is a bit more playable since the last update but not enough that you will do anyway well.
6 months,wtf like??
