    problem with this game is that its streaming position of every unit that you can see. The more units are in game the more data needs to be send. Thanks to that if someone have bad PC he can play, but also everyone needs to have good connection and server need to work fast.

    I played many games on my standard connection, and i can play 5min of game and then its starts to be unplayable. Units are teleporting, everything is refreashing every 1-15s. I remember when i was playing, giving orders to my engies in base, everything ok and BAM, everything gone in 1s and im dead. What happend? Someone comes to my base and slowly kills everything, and i have such big lag that i have seen state before, and then it updates to state after. Nightmare. 10mbit connection, small pings( 40-60) in other games, works fine in every other game.

    I played already over 15 games on LTE connection from phone (using hotspot wifi) and for sure, game works much better. I even played big games with few planets and almost no lags. Dont know why, but it works much better.

    that's really nothing to go on. do you have logs. dxdiag would be good. google is your friend if you don't get what I'm asking for.

    sorry :s

    Low fps 'mid game' is normal- PA slows down quite a lot with high unit counts. Also with large systems. Note that your 8gb of ram is quite low for PA Titans- 12 to 16gb is preferable although so long as you aren't playing on very large maps you should be ok.

    DX Diag looks ok

    Putting hundreds of land/air/orbital units on area patrol also increases the computational burden.
