Why is Ultrabullet so laggy

.... Seriously. what the hell is going on

v2?

v2 is trash.. My connection is perfect, and if I see my opponent's connection is 3/4 bars (or less), I feel their lag. It makes absolutely no sense. When they have 4/4 bars I have no lag. Why the hell do I lag when they have poor connection?! What the _____ is this?

@Th3rdeye servers were in France during v1 too.

you are probably confusing your connection with your opponents. Also Th3rdeye I live in the US, yet lichess still works well for me the vast majority of the time.

In v1 if you have problems you just think "oh, that happens, oh well". In v2 people think "GODDAMNIT, WHY IS V2 DESTROYING THE WORLD!!!"

(for the record, I think v2 is great)

@Rapid167 If the game flowed like golden butter on hot toast before in v1. And then v2 the game plays like a chainsaw revving you notice the difference.

I think v2 is ok. But it's nothing compared to before.

I recently got a new laptop and now everything is much faster. It may just be your computer unfortunately. The newer updates to chess websites tend to be aimed at the latest model computers since the updates require more RAM is my guess. Ultra is faster on mobile though the wifi can be sketchy at times.
