I'm having an issue where other player's movement isn't smooth at all. I get it in every match. Micro-teleporting.

Discussion

Every game I play the other players often don't move properly. Not just at round start but throughout the whole game. It's not a performance issue, so to speak. I'm using recommended start-up options. I have a 3770k and a 980. I know people with worse hardware that do not get this issue. I am getting good FPS, 70+ and the occasional droop to 25 or so but it doesn't correlate with the weird movements I'm seeing.

When you're on the start island and it's laggy, you'll notice how players seem to pause momentarily and then when the game updates, you see them a couple metres ahead of where they were moving. Obviously this is normal and everyone experiences this, but I seem to be having this issue something like 70% of the time when playing the actual game.

It's ruining the game for me because I'll try and shoot someone, and then suddenly they skip to the left or the right and there's no animation for it. They just teleport. Sometimes it's literally about a 20cm movement, other times a couple metres. If someone is crouch walking it's less of an issue.

Is anyone else getting this and have you managed to do anything about it?

I'll record some footage tonight so I've got something to actually show. (Of course it probably won't be an issue tonight.)

Are you playing on the right servers?

I.e. queueing for EU or US.

hahaha!

Im in UK playing on EU servers as well, and its fine for me.

Have you tried speedtest.net or pingtest.net to see if there are any potential issues for your ISP?

My friend and I found that the NA servers played much much smoother yesterday.

Assume it's the same dsync issues we had from beta. No idea the cause but it happens server wide from what I know from squading with folks.
