CoOp Lag is ridiculous

Edit: For PC - Verify your files on Epic. This temporarily fixes the problem.
And then send a ticket in on support.

I can’t even join my friends game because it starts to lag me around the map every 2 seconds.

Not happening with any other games. Discord still works. Literally everything else that uses internet works fine, but I can’t even shoot an enemy.

Yea same here. Trying to enjoy the game with my brother but I just can’t play in co op. Stuttering and rubber banding everywhere

Still unplayable rubberbanding on coop. Hey devs. you gonna fix this crap or what?

Im on PS4 with Wired or WiFi these issues are still very apparent. The host seems to be fine but others connecting are terrible. Rubber banding player position, rubber banding / enemies glitching around, bullets not registering. It’s pretty rough at times.

Does anyone know if the connection is P2P or if it’s on hosted servers? It might just be player overload from the launch. Hopefully it gets better…

This, but on Xbox 1, Wired

I have found that turning the xbox off and unplugging, will occasionally allow me to play 8 to 12 minutes CoOp before slowly starting to act as before

You know, now that you mention it it did seem to get worse the longer the session went on. You’re on to something there.

Yea. I connect to a friends game, and he’s always fine. But whenever i connect to him, or other friends, the connection can be brutally unplayable. Walking off cliffs because of lag. losing up to 30 seconds of time in a lag spike that catches up all at once and usually ends with me downed.

This was my attempt to play coop earlier today… This is ridiculous.

just curious, have you had these issues before in other games? right now co-op is either unplayable via a user standpoint or it’s a worldwide issue, but what Gearbox does with borderlands is remove servers so the only person “hosting” is the person who created the game instance everyone loads into.

makes for p2p systems that functionally survive forever without needing server upkeep but it also relies entirely on having a “good” connection speed. I’m curious who is affected and who is not because as the co-op seems to be used quite a bit I don’t think it’s necessarily something everyone is suffering with

I have when i first got my internet installed. But my ISP fixed the problem a long time ago. I called them again today just to re-check. and I tried playing other games today. Black Ops 4, and Star Wars Battlefront 2 - and in both those games I had zero latency problems. Zero stuttering.

hmmm, ok. the reason I ask is because I currently don’t have great internet so I’ve attributed these things happening to being a result of that. chicken and egg, yeah? funky - glad it isn’t just me then

Found an odd solution for PC. Verify the game files on Epic.

It’s not a permanent fix, but it did give me a couple hours of good performance. Not great, but decent enough to be playable.

Seems like something is leaking in the game, to where it messes up how it talks to the net code.

Annnd now the “verify files” trick no longer does anything.
Became completely unplayable earlier on the FINAL BOSS of the game… This is BS.

Same problem here, does anyone have a solution for it?

First few weeks is okayish, then it got worst with lag. I have same internet and everything else’s works fine.

Can’t drive straight. Shooting & opening box has 1/2 sec delay. Amara Melee unplayable as non host. Half of melee do not connect and amaimation is skipped, Buddha palm became weapon thrust.

And I play only 2 player games…

It cannot be epic problem as fortnite is the biggest game in the world and allow 100 players in some map, butter smooth.

wow thats bad.

Had the same earlier but its pretty much “fixed” now or at least I dont notice it anymore. Is this still an issue? I noticed that your post is roughly a week old

Still an issue. Some groups I get in are fine, and some are rubberbanding so bad it’s unplayable.

This is still happening to me, and consistantly has been since launch. It’s so frustrating. A lot of replayability is gone for me if this is how coop will always be.

Glad I didnt buy the season pass because dlc is useless for me until this issue is resolved. I play this game mostly with friends. I opened a ticket with GB, one of the solutions they gave helps a little but it’s only temporary and doesnt help every time.

Testing my internet connection always yields a good connection at a decent speed, but I am constantly disconnecting from a host if I’m not hardcore rubberbanding. When I host, voice chat is gets lagged up and then plays all at once after a few minutes so communication is out the window. This definitely is the worst lag I’ve had in any game. Cant even change or equip/unequip weapons sometimes.

Cant really tell how widespread the problem is but theres been no change and no recognition of the issue.
