I play Shaft Wasp with Trickster, so there's that. When I play that is

I'm lucky enough to be able to still play on 50 ping but let me tell you this, in XP/BP, I suffer at least as much as you do. It feels like my ping doesn't matter and that the game just adopts whichever ping the opponent is having. My damage is never registering when it should and people hit me like miles away from where my tank actually is; generally, it feels like everything is delayed by a couple seconds. So yeah, we are all suffering. Ping feels like a lie lol. Up to the change they apparently made, I had an average ping of 100 every now and then, with spikes every couple seconds to numbers our human brains can't even comprehend. Edit: nevermind, it goes like 50 100 50 100 the whole time ?

Was your monitor somehow set to 60 Hz? You can check that in the driver settings or by right clicking the desktop -> display settings -> advanced display settings, at the bottom. The FPS-Limiter doesn't work for me either, I'm just leaving that on 500.

Sounds like you have some kind of V-Sync activated. Do you have a 60 Hz panel? The game usually limits your FPS to your refresh rate. By the way, going higher than your refresh rate just puts unnecessary stress on your hardware, and you shouldn't be able to notice much of a difference anyway.

Minor changes don't always make it into the patch notes

What you can do then is wait until the client updates I guess, check if the version number is going up every now and then. Might be that it won't update on its own since you can't start it apparently. On Windows, you can check the version by hovering over the file that starts the thing, in my case it says 2.0.2.0

Just as a warning - I don't own a Mac. I googled your issue, and it seems you can bypass this in your Mac's security settings. To be safe, I'd recommend reinstalling the official client again before doing it. Could give clearing the cache a shot as well if you didn't already, but watch out, as this will reset your settings in Tanki to default.

That may be because the polling rate of your mouse is set too high, usually it's set to 1000. This number shows how many times a second your mouse is updating its position, as far as I know. Depending on the mouse you have, you can lower the polling rate in the corresponding software, for example G HUB, if you have a Logitech. Set it to 500 or whatever and try again. Otherwise, I don't really know how to change the polling rate.

Glad this helped you out ?

Unfortunatley, there is really not much you can do besides trying to clear the cache and all that stuff. If you're playing on the client, I would recommend you to maybe try and reinstall it, as some time ago there were problems with an older version that wouldn't auto-update; so installing the current one may help resolve your issues. If you don't want to use the client, maybe try playing on a different browser, if you can do so on Macs. Also, I'm not sure if that's really a thing, but I think I've heard that the game has or had problems running on Mac in recent times. Maybe try and update your drivers and software, etc?

No one cared about that as no one wanted to pay the fee to enter these battles, because crystals used to be worth something. Battles were always unbalanced because one team always had a buyer that got the next modification of their hull/turret 6 ranks before the free to play players could, by buying expensive kits. These players also paid for supplies, which free to play players didn't have back then, making them even stronger than they already were. You were facing people with Viking M2 at the Warrant Officer 5 rank, with full supplies, whilst you were Warrant Officer 3 with Smoky and Wasp M1, without any supplies. You were dying at least as fast as you are dying now to the paying audience. Kits were a complete P2W mess when they were first introduced, in your golden era of around 2013, but somehow everyone seems to have forgotten that. People back then were complaining literally as much as they are nowadays about P2W. It was not better. And before kits, before the re-balance, you were able to have a full M3 garage at the Lieutenant rank. P2W players had that, supplies on top, and the free to play players were still barely managing to get even M2 at the brigadier ranks. The game nowadays is at least as much pay to win as back then. I don't know if you all were very young and forgot all of this, but the game has always been a mess. It was not better for free to play players back then.

If you cling to some object while going around it full throttle, it may happen that the game destroys your tank: How to reproduce: Choose some object. Place yourself at one of its corners, like in the video. Then, steer into it and after a little time accelerate forwards. If your tank behaves like it's glued to the corner while going around it, you're doing it correctly. I didn't test it with other things besides the ones showed in the video, but I assume that you can get selfed like this anywhere. Also, after you do it once you won't be able to deal any damage anymore and you can't pick up flags, which makes me assume that it's a bug related to the anti-cheat.

I don't know what I have said either, that's the problem! I do not insult players, only thing I do is trashtalking with them every now and then. But this is a war game, such a game will not function without casual trashtalk. You will never be able to get rid of trashtalk, if you do so you get rid of the players as well. I'm human, and if in Tanki I flip myself due to lack of talent I want to express my emotions by saying a certain word that is not directed to anyone in any way, like any normal person would do. It is funny and not in any way insulting to anyone. And before this automatic banning thingy was introduced, everyone was absolutely fine with it. But now, suddenly, it's raining 1 week bans. Yes, you can obviously not type such stuff to not get banned, but this doesn't change that the way you can get banned is right.

Nah man, you can't justify what is happening. This thing is way too sensitive and the most bans really seem to be unjustified. You can't ban someone for 1 week because they said literally just one bad word, that is not in any way related to the conversation you're having with fellow players. I get it that excessive bad language is not something that you should let pass, but this right now is in any way too sensitive.

I'm getting chat bans like daily by now, for the most random reasons, and I have no idea why. I'm feeling sorry for continuously messaging chat admins, asking them what I got banned for once again. I bet they find some of the reasons ridiculous themselves, honestly. That algorithm or whatever that is running in the background is banning people without any context. For just one bad word, which is not even directed towards anyone, that just slips out when for example something unfortunate has happened, literally bans you for 1 week straight without any warning. Lately, I was playing some XP/BP and people in the enemy team kept leaving, so we had to wait over and over again until both teams were full and we could start our game. So out of fun I dropped the F-bomb in russian, because I wanted to play and not wait anymore, and that instantly banned me for a week, because I had apparently insulted someone. What? Now it happened again, I logged in and boom 150 hours long chat ban for insulting someone. I can legit not remember actually insulting someone in the last years even, and yet I am, at this point, farming chat bans for insulting. Lol. This thing really seems to ban people just because they say a certain word, completely disregarding the context. And that makes no sense.

Any forum moderator/administrator you will reach here will not be able to do anything for you. What you should do instead is reaching out to the game support under help@tankionline.com, they will surely be able to resolve your issue

To be fair, there are tools that make you lag artificially. But that goes beyond just hitting you behind walls then, people who use such tools hit you like your tank is 10 times its actual size. It's pretty noticeable once you encounter your first one.

You getting hit behind walls is normal, it's happening because of lag. Your movements are delayed on your opponents' screens. Affects every game, not just Tanki. The servers seem to be in a pretty bad state currently, so this effect is even stronger than it used to be.

That's a major problem in pro battles currently. Some battles that don't exist anymore are still shown in the battle list and seem like you can join them, but if you join you get disconnected. Also, if you're unlucky and get stuck in such a battle, your account will be gone until the next server restart, since you can't do anything to remove it from that bugged battle. It's not a problem on your end, it's the servers having issues.

Recently, I have recorded and reported someone in the Russian forum for sabotaging a battle. However, the video wasn't accepted, because it was 47 seconds too long, 10 of them being the end battle screen. The corresponding rule says, a video can have a maximum length of 10 minutes. I know you're kind of not allowed to talk about such things, which is in its own way kind of ridiculous, but I just want to know - why is that rule a thing? Imagine you have video footage of someone robbing a bank, that is 10 minutes and 47 seconds long. In the video, the robber even shows his face and his ID in the security camera. So you bring this evidence to the police, to make them prevent the robber from robbing even more banks, but the police is like "nah bro, the video is 47 seconds too long". What? So we just let the robber keep robbing banks because THERE WAS TOO MUCH EVIDENCE, eg here, we let the saboteur continue sabotaging? What? Across every second of the video it is crystal clear that my entire team is getting sabotaged by this one player. Can anyone explain to me why this rule is a thing? I would literally have to remove evidence to shorten the video to 10 minutes, but honestly, I can't be asked to do so. We let him run free then, I guess. Let him ruin even more battles. ? I just want to know the thought behind that rule, as to me, it is completely pointless. Same with a minimum of 5 minutes of evidence, that no audio tracks are allowed, and that there can be no cuts in the footage. These rules literally make sabotaging easier.

Please devs, for CTF, add the notification for flags being returned. It was already there back then and it was so useful, no clue why you would remove it.

In future, I would recommend you to record such behaviour so you have some kind of proof. Whenever I see players doing weird things I just record them, so I can prove what I'm talking about. Now we can only assume that you're right, which leads us nowhere. If you vote someone, it doesn't mean that a battle moderator will arrive instantly and spectate the voted player. As far as I know, you need at least 25% of the players in the battle to report them, for the vote to have any effect. Then a battle moderator should join your battle and spectate the reported player, without anyone knowing. However, I must admit that some of their guidelines are a bit... let's say irritating. In short, just record players who do weird things. It's not difficult and the most effective way of dealing with them.

They have actually talked about this in some V-Log and if I remember correctly, they said it's pretty difficult to fix. Simply rejoining the battle or reloading the page/restarting the client should fix it. It affects everyone and has been around for years already

That's some (temporary) measure to counter DDoS attacks, I guess, and it seems to be working. Until they find a better solution, Ping is probably going to stay like this.
