Repetitive Server Disconnection and General Lag

[Warlic 0]

Description:

Since I returned to tanki a couple of months ago I have received a poor connection and gaming experience. Initially I could play for a good few hours before I would get disconnected from the server due to lag. Now I get a couple of minutes in a game before I get disconnected. Another problem which has developed is the lag of the server chat which was never an issue before. Personally I think it is due to the upgrading of Tanki and the decline in the internet service I receive because whilst other devices work fine with the connection I have noticed a decline in websites and services which require a faster connection to work satisfactorily. I have cleared my cache repeatedly, downloaded the external Adobe Flash Player 11 (worked better initially but has since lost its charm), cleaned up broken shortcuts and other redundant files, removed additional unecessary add-ons. Just before posting this I cleared my Flash Player data. I do not want to change browsers or use an ethernet cable. Admittedly this is a problem which many people report on but the sudden and continued rapid decline of my gaming experience is something I have not seen.

Hello. Connection closed by server can also pop up because of someone else is logging into your account. Change your password.

I will follow this up and report back later. Is it a common occurance that this is due to someone else logging on to your account?

 

EDIT: Performance seems to have improved however I will wait until this evening to give a conclusive result as the connection was usually more unresponsive in the evening.

 

Evening Update: Performance does seem better but have not had the time to play any lengthy games. In addition when I am leaving the game manually rather than being automatically disconnected I'm still getting a warning of low FPS.
