I'm not sure about everyone else, but I'm still having the bug of enemies slide-warping all over the place when I'm trying to kill them. It's very annoying, and I hope it's not related to my hardware. Devs, anybody, any suggestions?

Yeah, I have this problem too. It seemed to be fine all day, then just started up in the last hour or two... for me anyway.

I have never seen anything like that in beta or live. More than likely it's connection related or you have your graphics turned up too high. If your FPS drops really low then it's graphics.

Definately not the graphics .. its so freaking annoying Im going mad. FPS are perfect, ping is 150 (europe -> gorath) but it all feels like ping 9999.
Im totally unable to hit and other ships warp around like drunken bees and I still take hits.
I doubt its connection related as Im on a very fast xdsl and dont have any problems on the ground or in other games. Its definately not a fps issue and the funny thing is sometimes it runs fine and the next time I take off into space its all crazy again ... blaaaaaaarrrrgh.

I had this problem hardcore in beta, then it was ok for a few days.
Since release its 'minor' but its bad enough I can't hit anything except during a few short periods when everything is lag free.
Most of the NPC's don't shoot me during the lag. The warp around in odd directions, like the client isn't getting updated on their position, or its getting weird updates. They don't just warp in the direction they are/were travelling, they warp up, down, sideways, while facing the same general direction.
Then *I* will warp (my ship speed goes to 0 and I move backwards a bit) and everything will be fine for 30-60 seconds. But I end up lagging for 2-3 MINUTES or more. I made a movie from beta using FRAPS, I can make another if someone has a place for me to post it.

This pretty much sums up the experience. If you haven't seen this, then you don't know what we're talking about, but if you ARE experiencing it, you'll know it

Doesn't matter what range, I can see ships 2k away that are dancing around at high speed (higher than possible)...

I get this Problem as well, last night everything ran bueatifully but today I cannot do anything becuase of this leap frog warp action. Its highly annoying and I got so tired of it I've given up trying to play it for the moment. My ping is around 115, and my framerate fluctuates arouund 30 so i do not really understand what is going on.

Same here, 100-120 ping, 0 packetless, high framerate. I warp once in awhile, but mostly its just the NPC's. And since they're not shooting at me, it almost seems like the server is confused because they just kinda dance around me and don't even attack.

The problem is so bad it makes JTL unplayable for me. Thinking about returning the game.

I haven't checked my ping or FPS, but my roommate said it looked like a graphics issue, so I downloaded some driver from ATI (I have a Radeon 9600), but that didn't really help much. It could be RAM-related, I suppose, I have 512 MB, though, maybe I should upgrade to a Gig...

Its not memory or graphics.. its network code or prediction related.......
