Lag issues

Sup ppl just started playing ntw in the last week and is it just me or has the lag gotten worse from 3-4 months ago?, its gotten to the point were i find it hard giving commands, and using hot keys has become a callenge example i would give my unit the command to run using R key then i would go back to that unit and it would be walking now ether im just rusty and fergoten how the game is or the lag is making it hard to register commands or i just suck.
Let me no if you guys have the same issue if so eney fixes?

ps: yes my grammar does suck

Can't say it's gotten worse, but NTW sure has been worse with this than ETW. Try using the UI buttons, they register a bit better.
Especially with the "R" hotkey, I remember telling Syno I use the button instead of the hotkey if the lag is to bad, and when NTW came, he went "you'll be using the buttons a lot more".

The fast way to fix that is to hit ctrl+A after telling troops to move and then hit R, then go to another unit. That seems to make sure the run hotkey works.

yes i think ive mentioned it somewhere on the forum that commands particularly for cav has become really random

Yeah i have had better results using a mix of ui bottons and hotkeys as i was making to many mistakes just reling on hot keys due to that delay.I wish they could fix it , its really making it hard to micro aggressive builds which sucks because well being aggressive in this game is alot more fun then being well "stationary".

well agian tonight its been so random to control cav - some time the cav actually starts to go the complete opposite direction and even after you reissue orders to attack a unit they still go the wrong way - the only way ive found to be able to turn them around is to select an area behind the enemy unit to get them going the right way and then give the attack order when they get close. but all this wastes valuable time - thank god for noobs i say - the only good player i played to night was quidium ag and thank god it didnt glitch to much in that game.

It's not only cav, it's melee in general; I've seen that for line infantry as well, it's just not so obvious because they're sent into melee less frequently.
It's very annoying to say the least.

yep cav has got to be for me the most dificult unit to issue commands especially in melee, i find my self constantly giving it the same command to disingage also like u sed select an area behind the enemy unit to get them going is alot more efective . if i remember right etw had a much better pathfinder then ntw.

There is nothing worse than watching your high melee stat inf run through a hail of bullets and about to lay down a perfect charge only to start running sideways just before they reach the enemy's line.

and with the run thing just wait a second befor u hit the r button after the first order there is some lag time between orders that you have to wait to pass.
