Find out what to check if you're getting timeouts, disconnects or other connection errors in the Fearless.
Server performance
This one’s Fearless sided. When Server performance are affected, you’re likely to see disconnects/or a staff message until they can isolate and replace or reboot the server that’s underperforming.
Packet loss
This means that info coming from you to Fearless is incomplete, some of it is being lost along the way.
What you’ll hear with packet loss is what most players refer to as input lag - keystrokes or button presses that don’t register properly in-game (mostly because they’re not all making it through to Fearless).
Packet loss shows up more severely in gaming than it does in things like video streaming or internet browsing, mostly because there’s no caching or buffering in-game to counteract it.
Packet loss can happen on wireless connections when there’s interference. If you live in an apartment building it could be a crowded wireless channel, or there could be something nearby (a microwave or a smart device) that’s interfering with your wireless signal.
For wired connections, packet loss often points to an issue with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or with another ISP that they partner with to route their internet traffic. If you’re on PC, you can run a UO Trace to pinpoint where the packet loss is happening.
High latency
If you have high latency when connecting to Fearless servers, you’ll feel delays in everything that you do, especially when your latency edges over the 90ms mark. If your latency goes over 200ms, you’re potentially looking at being disconnected. Latency can be a matter of distance from servers (Servers located in France), or if you live near the server you’re connecting to it can point to a problem with your connection.
Latency variation
This measures the jitter on your connection to Fearless servers, and it’s a real flag for an unstable connection.
High jitter means a frustratingly inconsistent game experience, you may see rubberbanding, input lag spikes, and related problems that feel all the more frustrating for their apparent randomness.
Low FPS
You’ll see this indicator on-screen (if you have one like with Nvidia Gforce Experience or the internal Garry's Mod) when the game senses your system is straining to keep up with the pace graphically.
If your FPS are low, it is advised to lower your graphics settings for a better play experience.
If your FPS are very low, your settings are seriously affecting your gameplay.
Low FPS sometimes gets called “lag”, but it’s rarely anything to do with your connection. Sometimes when there is a lot of on-screen action and effects, a system that’s close to the minimum specs may have problems rendering everything and you can end up feeling like you’re watching a slideshow more than playing a game. This happens when your system is under stress and can’t serve up the number of Frames Per Second (FPS) it needs to.
If either your GPU or CPU are below recommended specs, you may really feel it when you’re playing.
Try reducing some of your video settings to combat this. The game may not look as pretty, but it should play a lot more smoothly.
Refresh rate
If you’re having a refresh rate issue, it often means that you’ve limited your refresh rate in-game to something other than what the server is set at (for example, you’re capped at 144hz and playing on a 60hz server). Decreasing your refresh rate to be more in line with what your monitor can handle can mean a clearer picture and less screen tearing when you have vsync disabled.
