Hello,
there seems to be no latency limits forced by servers and their apps allowing people with 100ms+ even as bad as 250-300ms in a race
This is very very bad for close racing as cars in AC then tend to teleport around, react delayed such as with 250ms (a quarter of a second) latency, that is insanely a lot for racing and even common decent public servers already kick such connections. What happens often is that 250ms player brakes, their lights show up 250ms too late and then their car gets updated and magically mega brakes/slows down to correct the discrepancy between positions caused by lag. Aka AC teleporting on braking but the same easily happens also when driving side by side and it can make cars explode apart from each other when a delayed network update puts cars inside each other.
Having very high (100ms+) latency people connected also affects everyone else connected to the server and glitches can occur.
The servers should be split by region so that people can race with others who have similarly good geo location and latency for the same server.
It is not much fun when people teleport around at 100ms+ latencies, causing unwanted collisions that are impossible to avoid for both drivers affected and the only solution really is for people to choose a closer better server at best one with <50ms latency for them. It is not a problem in EU to be in <25ms range for EU servers that are on decent connection. But then Americans connect with 250-400ms and it all goes to hell on track.
Are any changes planned to make close racing more friendly by removing teleporting issues caused by high latency connections?
I suppose this applies not only to Assetto Corsa but Assetto Corsa is especially sensitive to this more so than Live for Speed was.
