I just participated in 3 Serpuhov CTF games on two servers, and it seems like nothing changed. Maybe a bit less klaxons, but not sure about that. Tanki, we appreciate the emergency measures to remedy this nasty update, but we need a real fix. If now is 3x less sensitive then make it 9x less sensitive (1:0 and 25 minutes to go in a 30 min CTF match is does NOT require robotic timer intervention). And the sounds ruin the game - beyond the audible harassment, Tanki is not a boxing match and we don't need the honky announcements, it spoils the sci-fi/battlefield feel of the game. Not wanting to play the game the way it is right now. :(

I would rename this update to "The manic depressive drama queen who cried wolf". From "WE"RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!" to "VICTORY IS OURS!!!" and back (and forth) in 60 seconds. While the idea is good, the implementation is not. In my mind this feature should shorten those one sided no sports value battles, but let all other battles (which are 80% of the battles) run their due course without interference. People have eloquently said most that there is to say: too sensitive, too often, too intrusive. I would add: 1. Since the clock is done and undone all the time, it is hard to know the "real" battle duration. 2. For CTF, count the flag takes alone and make the threshold 5 flags difference. While more kills are nice to have, they don't matter in the battle outcome. 3. For all modes, make the "earlier battle finish" check run every five minutes, then once more if the short timer was activated to determine if the battle indeed needs to be stopped. And no more. This will cover all one sided games, while leaving be all the other "normal" games. 4. Last but not least, the sounds are ANNOYING AS HELL!! I ended up playing DM where this feature is irrelevant. Until this is fixed I will have to play with the sound off, which is too bad because otherwise the audio of the game is great. Keep up the good work, but please spare us from this update the way it is now.

So... what's new? 3rd day in a row that I can't log in. TO admins, please share with us the status.

This is happening again. I cleared Flash and browser cache, tried two browsers, tried different servers. Please look into this.

For me the problem seems resolved, 2nd day in a row that I log in with no issues. Thanks Tanki

Happens to me and others too, same issue discussed in http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=199515&do=findComment&comment=3545182 Time for Tanki to admit there is a problem and do something about it, many of us have done all tests we were requested on client side but still nothing.

My computer is fine, I've been playing tanki for many months without significant issues. As this was reported by three different users at the same time more or less in this post alone, all with considerable playing history per their ranks, can tanki please check this on their end?

C:\Windows\system32> Another thing I noticed, that I think is new, is that the green "Loading" progress bar progresses only if the tab is in focus. If I leave it half loaded and switch to another tab, it will continue from that point when I return to the tanki tab.

Same thing that tantan88 reports happening to me. When attempting to log in to a game server the Loading hangs near the end. Happened on 20 and 21 April, I did not log in for a few days before that. Tanki, please sort this out. Edit: same thing happens with standalone flash player.

For Number Five To tell I'll try with rhyme and phrase Of the adventures that we share How you profoundly changed my ways That to forget you I won't dare Though always mine, you're so elusive Sometimes a pain, sometimes a save You are by nature non-exclusive So many you have shown their grave If, arrogant, I run amok Just when I think I run the show You will be waiting me to mock Beneath to deal my fatal blow But other times you saved my skin Against all odds I kept my faith My enemy - about to win! You introduced him to his death As mine you are, but also others' My heart forever is my wife's But she too knows, and does not bother That it's with you I'd trust my life In the garage we'll meet again The paint and hull will have to give On you I'll spend my final cent Without what's mine - I cannot live!

The game doesn't load after I click START. I get redirected to the game server (e.g. http://tankionline.com/battle-en32.html), then the page goes blank for a moment, then the backround pattern of black metallic squares loads and that's it. Using Firefox 26.0 with Flash 12.0.0.43 on Win7, also happened with Flash 11.9 (just upgraded to 12). I had to authenticate only once a long time ago, never been asked since. Using Ghostery but it never caused problems, I disabled it and still issue is present. Got a bogus "unfair play" message and kicked out for no reason from Monte Carlo TDM a few days ago when the game was ending, but was able to do stuff since (until current problem) and anyway no message implying anything when I attempt log in. This is the second straight day it is happening, I tried several servers each time. Thanks in advance.
