Servers cannot handle 1,000 tanks?

[Medic_Tank 4]

I love Tanki, but the latest release STILL has a major problem!

 

Whenever I connect to a server with more than 1,000 tanks, then the game will freeze after about 2-3 minutes.

I can still hear sounds, and the tanks spin around, but I am disconnected from the game.

The browser still has a TCP connection to the server, but the server is NOT updating my client.

 

It seems that the Russian players, which are close to the server (and have a very low ping time) do not experience this problem.

I think that anyone from overseas, like myself has this problem. My ping times are around 400 ms.

Also occasionally, the game says it has detected cheating, and incorrectly disconnects me from Iran.

 

Can someone please look into the issue of the SERVER incorrectly disconnecting clients with a large ping time?

 

Thank you,

Medic_Tank

 

PS: it is now happening on servers with 500-600 tanks!

UPDATE:

 

- Right now Server 9 has 553 tanks

- My client enters Kungur game

- 5 TCP connections on port 5222

 

Game hangs/disconnects after about 2 minutes of play!

 

I still have 5 TCP connections on port 5222, and network traffic is being sent/received to/from the server.

 

What other info do I need to provide to have someone seriously look at this problem?

The game is currently unplayable.

Its not just you, everyone has been having it lately. And it appears to be completely random.

 

I've been able to play an hour long game with no problems and I've also only played 2 minutes until this starts happening.

The ping is not the problem. I have a russian friend, Mishka, and he have the same problem with 20mb connection using safari browser.

 

So, the problem is not the google chrome, flashplayer, ping or connection.

 

I can join in maps like sandbox or massacre and play by hours without any problems.

 

But, if i join in kungur, tribute or iran, i have lag and freeze screen in 2 or 5 minutes. If the ping was the problem, i would not joined in the game in massacre or sandbox.

 

So, the problem is not the browser, ping, flashplayer, connection, whatever. Is the server.

its the server problem, not the broswer problem

Thanks to everyone for the feedback!

 

I guess I can't play my favorite maps.... Iran & Kungur... might stick to Massacre until it is sorted.

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 :(

Still waiting for a solution but the suggestions here for small maps and with less players works like a Gold Box for me.

 

Thanks anyways.
