G is correct, Xmas is the perfect time for raising prices and getting people to pay more...

tanki lags badly since august i am unable to play any map with more than 10 players and even with 8 players i have to reload every 10-15 mins And it is not fps lag but the game simply stops for me, all are spinning and i ca drive around alone

I put together all info from the test server as of today what hulls and turrets concerns, update not promised: Sadly I miss some info which i put in as question as the garage itself doesnt provide it https://docs.google....Vl9jSkNuUmtmTmc My open questions are: Smokey: range? more detailed info about the "Critical Hit" (when does it happen, and why, how to force it? how much damage does it do and the difference between a M0, M1 etc "Critical Hit") Thunder: Range? Damage and range of splash (used to be 100% 5m and 50%-0% until 10m or so) Railgun: Range? cause i heard something about losing power in longer distances Firebird: How long after burning, what damage happens there, how long can it fire and how long for reload (for each M?) Freeze: How long until fully unfrozen? How long to freeze, how long to reload? (for each M?) Ricochet: How many shots in tank, how long to reload? (for each M?)

awesome ehhh??? just that this game died a few months ago and nobody cares a sh about people not being able to play due to mega network lag outs that are constant here since begin of August which is now close to 1/4 year... tanki loses in the long run out here... bye cause you wont see me on battle fields here cause i lag out before i can play,,,, buh bye

here you go:

Was same for me since 2 days i am unable to play 8 player battles as well :(

sad but too true what is reported here, i am unable to play by now even small maps like Sandbox... max 4 mins of play and i have to reload... that is unplayable :(

call freeze or lag... i call it "Lag out" because it is not to solve by waiting 10 secs but ONLY to reload the site which takes you out for a minute of the battle and if this happens every 4 mins... well.. your team plays with 1/2 person less ... in maps like sandbox this is enough time to capture a flag... Bigger maps just mean faster "lag out"s happen ... This is now happening since over 2 weeks and gets worse and worse every day... Do not tell "disable this and that" clear cache, use firefox not chrome etc... this happens with firefox, chrome, safari on windows alike as well as with firefox and chrome on linux (which has an older flash version without hardware acceleration). The problem IS on the server site... i changed nothing and played 1 year or more fine until 2 weeks ago... Having to stop playing now is sad enough but it makes no fun and i am about a mult in my team cause i lag out so bad that i am no help....

It is not random at all for me... any map with more than 10 players and I lag out (tanks spin and I can drive around), small maps with 8-10 players work most time ok with random lag outs but >10 and 1 min max and i can reload to play (if at all) another minute... And this is now since 2 weeks and i am getting bored to play Sandbox... We had 2 or 3 threads about it already but it doesnt seem to effect enough that anyone cares about this :(

that would mean all Christmas and Easter greetings were against the rules... :)

"Downloadable tanki online" as option not as change seems nice to me, why not? you download anyway most into your cache it just not called downloading but loading... ;)

Besides the few children who need to go off topic and just call others noob and so on this is an interesting thread and has some real good posts. Drugs are part of this game, so is skill... Personally I dont like drugging (cause I dont buy them yet with earned crystals) and I prefer non drugged battles... of course I do have a NS pass since quite some time now and renew it monthly... Yes it seems silly to pay not to use drugs... (they cut the price down though it was 2000 crystals once, then 1000, finally 500 which is just 100 drugs (2,3,4) which you can use easily in 30 mins) but it's worth it and you will find out sooner or later... Until then... you just have to deal with the drugging buyers and savers... save up yourself... use drugs wisely.. try to avoid to use them... Save for Dictator and Railgun... get both to M3 and next maybe a decent paint like prodigy... then you got a "cheap" decent setup you will see Marshals use and you can earn your ranks and crystals... of course they will be battles dominated by druggers... I just think of it then this way: Thank you guys to pay that much so I am able to play this game for free.... cause if nobody pays, there is no tanki... cheers and good luck and... FUN!!!!

I dont think it makes a different which server... of course if server 24 has only 100 players and only 8 in each battle... this will work but that does already on others with low player count in battles... though things get worse... i start to lag out in Sandbox now, too, not as quick but i have to reload the battle every 10 mins or so... NO FUN again... here is a screenshot of an iran i joined (on linux using chrome, flash 11.2... fps 44 which is without hardware acceleration perfect):

And it just got worse... NOW i am not even able to play Sandbox anymore... here i just got the issues they describe with the chrome flash version... Delayed control reactions, i press left arrow and release but the tank keeps turning left and so on... just that i used Safari with flash 11.3.300.268 and not the problematic chrome version...

I dont think you guys get what "our lag" is here: It is not low fps or a moment of freezing to then go back to normal... For me it is like this: I enter a battle like Dusseldorf with 30 players... window loads... i see battle map... maybe i see my tank appearing full and can drive a few meters but then... ALL others start to spin in circles and i can just drive around the map seeing others spinning... unable to pick up any boxes, unable to even damage myself (with thunder)... i can wait 5 mins, 10 mins... reload finally.... get back into the battle... my tank now is only semi transparent and the others start to spin around again... And this happens after 1 second to 1 minute for me after entering a battle with more than 10 players... I am able to play 8 player maps like Sandbox or Farm normal with full 60 fps and all fine...

tried safari.. same... chrome has a new update.... i managed 30 mins massacre but then lagged out again... bigger maps still impossible to play... I do not believe it is about the browser or flash plugin (somehow it is always about flash here of course) but something changed on the TankiOnline site... we all have this problem since a few days... and did NOT have it before with same hard- and software on our sites... So Tanki-Devs... DO SOMETHING!

I am having the same issue, too, firefox, chrome, even on linux with flash 11.2 and no hardware acceleration i am unable to play any maps besides small ones (Farm and Sandbox work, havent had time to try more) but if enter kungur or iran for example... it takes less than a minute and all spin around IF my own tank even gets physical or stays just ghost... After this maintenance i will try safari on windows... though there's of course hope they fixed it then as well in russia

I have about the same issue: http://forum.tankionline.com/posts/list/145995.page

This might be the reason for my sudden issues, trying now firefox (LOOOOONG SLOOOW first loads): Google chrome: Low FPS / poor graphics / control problems / disconnection for inactivity sadly not... same thing happens with firefox :evil:

It isnt said anywhere what this rather long downtime of 4 hours for the new release 1.92.0 brought us but for me it brought for sure this: I am unable to play most maps now, besides Sandbox and prolly other small maps with max 8-10 players I lag out after a few seconds in any map with more than 16 players... never had this issue and it is constant since the new release... please fix this or the next Marshal bites the dust due to tankionline fixing things to die... after reloading Serpuhov (where the lagout happened when more than 15 joined the battle) it was full of new recruits who spun around in circles while i stayed ghost):

Havent seen this for a while but here this guy got on the roof by teleporting through the map, he tried all the time and was flying through the map before he managed to get there: (sorry about the capped screenshot, no idea why my tool did this)

why thank you??? i got just like last extra bonus... NOTHING today... thanks for nothing.... happy birthday
