Gray Zone Warfare has the potential to be a seriously gripping tactical shooter. But even the most dedicated players get frustrated when technical problems like rubber banding drag down the experience. If you find yourself bouncing around the map instead of smoothly taking down enemies. This issue is not from your end it is actually because of the server you are playing on. But is there a fix to it? There isn’t, but there are some workarounds you can do which worked for me.
What is Rubber banding?
When you are playing, suddenly your character snaps back in place, objects teleport around, and everything feels laggy and out of sync. That’s rubber banding. Essentially, it means there’s a communication problem between your computer and the game’s server, causing a frustratingly jerky gameplay experience.
Why Does it Happen in Gray Zone Warfare?
Being an early-access game, Gray Zone Warfare is still under development. The servers can get overloaded, especially when a bunch of players are packed into one session. This causes delays and that annoying rubber-banding effect when the game can’t keep up.
Can I Fix It? (Not Really, But…)
The easiest workaround! Exit to the main menu and redeploy. Keep doing this until you find a less populated server where things run smoother. Remember, Gray Zone Warfare is still in development. Optimization is always being worked on, so this issue will likely improve over time.
The Gray Zone Warfare team is likely aware of the rubber banding problem and is actively working to improve the servers and make the game as smooth as possible.
In the meantime, try focusing on the parts of Gray Zone Warfare you CAN control, find a less populated server, and do the missions. I’ve created many mission guides as well you can check them out below.
