We track the percentage of missed VSYNCs and want to be at less than 2% of frames (barely) missing it. Continue our push on improving console performance.Improvements shipped with v1.8 - please let us know your thoughts.

Fix GPU hangs on PC and continue work with graphic card vendors such as NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel on improving performance and stability.This is an area where we made things worse recently, but took initial steps to correct in v1.8. Improve performance on min spec PC systems (Nvidia GTX 460, Radeon HD 5570, Intel HD 4000).Here is what we need to do on the development side:

constrained bandwidth plus packet loss resulting in us sending more traffic which in turn makes things worse.

Track situations resulting in wells of despair.

Track ping and packet loss per region and ISP so we can inform and escalate when we detect anomalies.

Track aggregate server performance per VM to identify bad machines and cycle them out.

Track server performance and number of missed frames - as a first goal, we need to run at a solid 20 Hz.

On client track network packets (and time between them) received from server, and do the same on server from client.

Track client hitches with some weighting based on impact on player experience.Track client performance for various classes of GPU HW segmented by resolution and graphics settings so we understand the impact of our changes.Here is what we are doing or need to do on the monitoring side: There is also potential for additional latency and packet loss if you are using wifi. Your connection to our datacenters is first and foremost impacted by our choice of location for datacenters and your ping to them, but there is also lot of variation in ping based on the route your packets take. our servers might hitch because of issues with our code, other servers we are running on the same machine having a negative impact (noisy neighbor), or issues with the host OS or HW resulting in degradation in performance, but not outright failures (gray failures). There are a ton of different issues resulting in rubber banding, and even more root causes. This could be movement for other players being jerky, door interactions feeling weird, etc. Where вЂњrubber-bandingвЂќ means inconsistencies between client and server that result in a jarring correction. Packet bursting (especially on wifi) -> вЂњrubber bandingвЂќ.

Connection bandwidth saturation -> вЂњrubber bandingвЂќ.

Hitches (abnormally long frame time) -> вЂњrubber bandingвЂќ.

Low player connection update rate / framerate -> increased ping.Hitches (abnormally long frame time) -> frozen display followed by fast-forward.Display latency -> increased input latency.Low framerate -> increased input latency, large delta between frames.Performance matters, and while weвЂ™ve been steadily chipping away at improving things, weвЂ™ve taken a few steps back here and there and generally arenвЂ™t where we want to be long term.ДЇrom a playerвЂ™s point of view, the manifestation of performance-related issues are:
