Since 1.07 Ive noticed no change..the lag is still the same, moderate at best, and the server list is still as populated..crashes on map loads do occur more often, but I think thats because recently ive started playin the known bugged maps like rat race...
I think its purely coincidental that people seem to be experiencing more lag, especially when the vast majority of people I talk to about their experiences with the patch (100% of them in fact) tell me that nothings changed except the message at the bottom of the server list lol
I get 30-60 ping in all EU servers, and ive got an average british net connection (0.5Mb), I choose to play in servers that come up with <=130 ping, and can cope with minor porting, if theres a few people in the server with uber pings, it doesnt bother me, and from my experience, it doesnt lag up the whole server as everyone says, people I come up to 1v1 behave the same as usual, unless they are the people with the uber pings, in which case, yes, they port like theres no tomorrow. I wont go into my favourite server out of principle if there's a high ping, its not worth it. I choose to play with people of similar ping to my own (mostly) because I know that this is going to reduce my chances of lag. People who go into servers, knowing full well that 3/15 of the people playing with them have the same ping as them, and 12/15 have higher, only have themselves to blame if they experience lag. just pick servers more carefully..
