The game's server optimization is criticized for causing significant lag during gameplay, particularly against AI opponents as the match progresses, which hampers player experience. Improved code optimization is suggested as a potential solution to enhance performance.
- “When the servers were better optimized, the gameplay experience was significantly smoother.”
- “If they just optimized their code, they could bring this game back to its former glory.”
- “The server code is so poorly optimized; when you play against the A.I., the later in the game it gets (e.g., the more the A.I. takes up server processing time), the laggier your inputs become, making it impossible to play against even the A.I. at a high level.”
- “If they just optimized their code, they could bring this game back.”
