Visual representation of server performance in various game modes

A lively chat about server performance has emerged, particularly surrounding reload mode. Many gamers have reported smoother gameplay, but others highlight ongoing issues with lag in different modes, leading to a discussion about the future of game stability.

Record-Breaking Smoothness in Reload Mode

Players on NAC have shared notable experiences. One player stated, "I hopped into reload yesterday, and to my surprise even though I was on 45 ping, the servers felt buttery smooth." The sentiment has been consistent, with excitement surrounding the reload mode. Another player added, "I said the same yesterday, buttery smooth on 30 ping. I hope it stays this way."

Interestingly, while reload is praised for its performance, other game modes like creative face criticism. Players are noticing significant delays, with one gamer noting, "Every action is delayed in other modes; itโ€™s frustrating!"

Community Insights on Performance Issues

Discussion across various forums points to several reasons behind varied performance:

  1. Lower player count: It appears that fewer players lead to better performance in reload mode.

  2. Server prioritization: Some believe that reload servers are favored by developers right now, especially with the recent map updates.

  3. Frustration in Creative: A user expressed confusion over why creative modes are lagging, stating, "I had assumed that too, but Iโ€™m confused why creative feels so much worse then."
