The problem with PC players

[Jordan Canavi]

PC used to be a great platform to play Era. Not exactly comparable to some phones because on some phones the game obviously looks better. I'm going to talk about old PC problems that have never been fixed and newer PC problems.

First off, the first problem that comes to mind with PC era is that it cannot handle that many things, even if you have some god PC with your GTX1050 ti or whatever it always lags, you can't blame it on the PC itself but the game, you can't tell me that your phone is better than handling a game then a PC. Like wheres the logic in that, for an example, if someone throws petrols or concussion grenades it instantly drops your FPS and it doesn't allow you to move that quickly with lag. When you're walking by start your screen freezes every now and then and your FPS drops again. Now minimizing your screen does help but only being able to see 5 pixles isnt the greatest thing ever. I couldn't complete the new halloween quest thing because when your walking through the forest the gray smoke blocks your screen completely and you cannot see anything at all! and above that your FPS is like 7 and you're lagging, you can't see the direction in which you are walking. Also the fog in the crypt lobby aslo causes lag so if you wanted to reduce the amount of players crashing you could've removed it even though that would barely help because when you did your runs everyone tried to destroy the server so you would'nt have a chance anyways

Another more recent problem is the lag issue, DTL has already made a forum post about this but I feel like I need to emphasize this. Recently, like 2 weeks ago PC players have been victims of serious lag. Everyone complains about our lag telling us to get wifi and other nonsense but they don't understand that this is a server issue with PC players. I check my actual ping to see if it's actually my wifi thats bugging but my ping is usually around 20-50ms but graal translates that to 500ms. This ping doesn't allow me to do events, for example, in classic killers bot, the bots hit me without actually hitting me on my screen, I cannot possibly win rush because it renders late. Sometimes during races i get to the block first but the guy behind me gets the EC because my delay. During spar tournament or tag team spar i can be kicked for ping as I saw DanielTheLawd get kicked out of spar tournament on his final round while he was winning due to his ping and I know he's on PC so hes facing the same problems. Basing is also not motivational because theres delay and when you shoot people it doesnt render and its just not good, I feel like I don't have to explain this because it's pretty self explanatory.

There are more problems but I do not have the motivation to make this message longer than it already is, I really hope the administration at least makes an effort to try to fix these problems

Quick question - are you running multiple instances of other resource-demanding processes (i.e. Spotify, YouTube, etc.)? These affect the performance of your overall game experience with iEra and will more than likely cause framerate drops. Considering you are playing on the actual Internet browser itself, that in itself is already demanding resources from your random access memory (RAM), let alone having it be shared with other tabs.

Not to mention - your geographic location. Where you are located on the Earth drastically affects how your connection to servers will actually be.

I sometimes pay iEra on my Microsoft Surface Go laptop, which only has around 4GB of RAM, but it gets the job done very effectively because I only use this (I am replying from it, with exquisite performance) for programming and working on side-job projects in Visual Studio Code, a relatively lightweight code editor. However, I only have one or two other tabs running simultaneously as Graal.
