According to the Tanki Video Log #3 (http://youtu.be/xG2hzpBKPtw?t=1m38s) this is caused by the server not updating the client, not a "lag" issue - the server glitch is causing the lag, it's the symptom, not the illness. Please help!

Yeah, mis-titled this - should be SERVER QUESTIONS - my bad! I can't find a forum section on servers, so here goes. I already asked once alongside another question, but only the 1st was answered. How do you know if you're connected to a server in Europe or South America? When I log in it simply lists 50 servers & the number of people there, with no info on where that server is, ping time, etc. I'm assuming the flags (beside the help icon, British, Russian, German, etc.) on the log-in screen are for language - or are those server location choices? I'm also curious if any servers are dedicated to a specific language, and if so, why they aren't labeled? I asked another English speaking player who told me that server 44 is "English speaking", but I find a mix of languages on every server I go to. Not that it bothers me, of course, but it is nice to be able to communicate with my teammates. Some players claim certain servers are "Russian only", and get somewhat hostile because I cannot type in Russian. But I see no way to identify any "preferred language" listed for any server, unless that's the one on the log-in screen, in which case I've never clicked anything but the British flag (assuming that means English speaking). Why would Russian players go to a server that doesn't serve Russia? Do they get faster connections via European ones? The rubber-banding & amazing teleporting tanks are driving me crazy. Today in a Serpuhov CTF I drove over the flag 4 times before I picked it up. Enemy tanks would be be right in front of me, then "30 meters" away. They jump around all over the place. Video Log #3 says those are caused by server issues. Will there be American servers added?

...and I did everything it said to do & it's gotten worse. In Serpuhov CTF today, tanks be would right in front of me, then across the map. Multiple times. I drove over the enemy flag FOUR times before it picked it up. Then out of literally nowhere 3 enemy tanks just popped up right beside me, when a split second before they were very far away. Tanki's video log #3 CLEARLY stated that this kind of problem is a server/client issue, not a "lag" thing. (Mods, have you watched that?) So, instead of directing me to pages I've already read & performed the steps for, how about actually looking at the problem? Maybe fixing it? You gave Brazilians their own servers - how about some USA servers? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Addendum: I have done everything a third time. I uninstalled Flash, & re-installed version 13.0.0.223. I've turned off all the graphics stuff in the settings. My hardware acceleration is on. I tried playing using Firefox, but it said I don't have Flash installed at all (even though I do) & prompted me to download the latest version (which you say is buggy with your game - why not just have the programmers make it compatible with the new Flash version like most gaming companies do?). I cannot add the plug-in for v13.0.0.223 either. Still no change. My teammate is in front of me, then behind me, then in front, then beside me, all in a matter of 20 seconds time. FPS & Ping are good however. Tanks will be in one place, then >bam< halfway across the map. It makes playing nearly impossible. If I knew how to take video I'd do so just so you can see what I mean. I also play Perfect World International, which is MUCH more graphics heavy than Tanki, and I have no problems at all. I don't want to have to quit playing Tanki - I've already bought crystals twice with my hard earned paycheck, but what's the use if the game is so buggy?

Well that answered part of my question(s). How about the server questions?

Okay, a curious Warrant Officer wants to know: Why all the love for those ugly Dictators?

I continually have problems that I believe are server/client related (especially after watching V-log #3). In game, other tanks, both my team & enemy, "jump around" the screen - in front of me one second, then somewhere else on screen, & occasionally they reappear back in front of me. This "rubberbanding" negatively effects gameplay. I don't think it's a browser issue, although I do get a lot of lag. If it helps: my system is Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit, Intel Core 2 Duo @3GHz, and 8 GB of RAM. It's connected via DSL at 10MBS. All drivers are up to date. My video card is stock, drivers read as Intel Q45/Q43 Express Chipset. My flash version is 14.0.0.125. I usually use the Chrome browser, but experience the issue worse if I use Firefox. Will this be addressed soon? I'm in the United States, and I don't think we don't have any dedicated servers here. Also - How do you know if you're connected to a server in Europe or South America? When I log in it simply lists 50 servers & the number of people there, with no info on where that server is, ping time, etc. Is this indeed a server/client communication issue, like I suspect? How can I address that? Will there be U.S. servers added, like for Brazil? I'm assuming the flags on the top right (beside the help icon) of the log-in screen are for language - or are those server choices? I'm also curious if any servers are dedicated to a specific language, and if so, why they aren't labeled? I asked another English speaking player who told me that server 44 is "English speaking", but I find a mix of languages on every server I go to. Some players claim certain servers are "Russian only", and get somewhat hostile because I cannot type in Russian. But I see no way to identify any "preferred language" listed for any server, unless that's the one on the log-in screen, in which case I've never clicked anything but the Brit flag.
