you don't know what you are talking about.
please explain me how a client can take track of all players around it without a loooot of lag.
Govny. You and Snarf seem to be discussing 50 players +
Last year (the instance was capped at 24 players) comments here were saying that 24 players would never happen and that in reality 8-12 players was the maximum that SC would run at. They were probably also saying that people who though it could ' did not know what they were talking about'
This year they have a 50 player cap, who knows what they will have next year ETC.
I do not know technically how many they can have without unreasonable lag, But the
theory is that $210 million, hard work, Blind Culling and Object Container Streaming (videos are available explaining those things) will enable it. I doubt that snarf can explain it briefly on a forum so have a look for the video's (here is one but it is long and dull by the look of the first 2 mins

Personally the only time I get a lot of lag is at Loreville and Levski where I can often see other players almost teleporting 10 meters. I am guessing that that is because they have too many NPC's and other objects so BC and OCS still need some work. For some reason at Port 0 in the station and in flight lag is not a problem and I have been there with 30+ other players in ships, some report 50 players is common and playable.
There has been a definite improvement in FPS with the latest patches, in space I am getting 40-80 FPS (average about 55). In Assassins Creed Odyssey I get about 35FPS although that is fairy constant without the same dips as SC
Im not sure if it matters, but my ping time is 11ms, download 41Mbps upload 4.2 Mbps. I have an SSD,16GB of DDR4 @3200MHz
