Sirian's Day One of Diablo 3

No, that rubber banding isn't caching it's from the network. I was chatting with TD and Quark last night on mumble and we were seeing occasional times where it was affecting all of us. That's definitely not a caching issue, but issues with Blizzard's servers. You got to realize that Blizzard is using UDP here and if packets get dropped in transmission from you to the server, the server is going to rubber band you back to where it shows you should be before you sent all those UDP packets that didn't reach the server.

That's what I thought too but I've only seen it early in play sessions, and actually I've always seen it early in play session which made me change my theory from network/server to something local. I've had it happen in coop while on mumble with someone and they didn't see it (which I know is still very possible with network since we're coming from different locations).

Like I said what gets me is that I don't see it at all after a play session gets over 30 minutes minutes and I've seen it in the first 5 minutes of every play session. That just doesn't jive with it only being caused by network issues. Small sample size and all of course, but it just seems to follow a pattern for me that doesn't make sense.
