    Just realized this today, but I've been experiencing a shitload of connection problems.

    1: Que times are 2-3 minutes (For me at least), of which prior were almost instant.

    2. Every 2-3 matches, in the middle, it will say "Lost connection to host" and within 2 seconds go to the loading screen, change maps or restart the game on the same map with all bots and little to no actual players.

    3. In a Team Deathmatch a couple minutes ago, I was playing and it felt like Gears of war 2 in terms of connection. When I was roadie running I skip forward 2-3 feet, back 5 feet, when I'm in cover I'd shoot out onto an insivible wall, etc. etc.

    Is Epic having server problems, or is this just me? I thought they fixed this shit.

    Haven't experienced that much, but I haven't played in about a week. When I did it was often the host disconnected issue.

    Yeah, It was happening yesterday as well but it's just gotten worse. Last couple matches have been smooth, but regardless was wondering if something is up.

    I thought this game used dedicated servers? The jumping around you're noticing is the server trying to fix itself and put you where you're supposed to be.

    I had disconnects last night and the game trying to find another host which made me wonder if the servers had gone down. Seems alright today though.

    I was just about to post something about this.

    I do not disconnect but it seems like every game I join is excessively laggy and it is frustrating as hell.

    I do not have this problem with other games so I do not know what the problem is.

    The only times Gear 3 has been lagging for me was when I was on wireless or downloading something.

    Also if you have a Moderate or strict NAT setting it can make it a bit tricky to find good matches
