Game stopped working!

[CentralScrutinizer 4]

I sure hope someone can help me...

 

Tanki worked fine yesterday.  Today- I can't play at all.  I get in about 5 seconds of gameplay and (it seems) everyone else freezes up or they spin in circles and nothing seems to work.  I can drive around but it's like a ghost town.  My FPS when this happens is about 45 and my Ping is 70-75.  This is what I've done to try to fix it:

1) downloaded/installed the latest Adobe Flash

2) same with Firefox

3) same with Windows updates

4) rebooted twice, restarted router twice (I do have a wired connection though)

5) did a regedit to allow for better ping (?)

6) tested my upload/download speed- it's fine

7) dumped cache memory

8) tried using internet explorer- same thing

9) ran Tanki using Stand Alone FP - didn't work

10) hardware acceleration IS enabled

 

Can anyone help me please?  I have a mild addiction to this game...

Same here, I have been experiencing major lags.

Perhaps I should mention that I'm playing in the USA (Wisconsin) so I realize that there are no nearby servers... except that things worked fine until today.

 

 

Also hopped from server to server- didn't matter.

"All the tank was spinning" which mean you were lagging. Try this, How to reduce lags, I also suggest you to clear caches, browsing history and cookies with Ccleaner, when you done that, re-start your computer.

Unfortunately we faced certain technical issues. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

I followed the link (and subsequent links) to reduce lag & did everything that was suggested. I installed & ran ccleaner and re-started. I was able to get less than a minute of game time before it crashed.

 

I realize this is probably an issue of server distance... is there a particular server you can recommend that has a closer proximity to Wisconsin- Iceland, for example? And why is it happening now, after weeks of good play?

 

miahak and yele- thanks for your responses btw

 

 

If it helps: I tried to play again with fewer players (2 on 2, 3 on 3) and it seemed to work until more players joined. It finally crashed when we got the 8th or 9th player.

 

Just played a 15 minute game of CP with no more than 5 players at a time & it worked fine. So I guess my question is: will any server adjustments be made that will allow me to play in games with more players?

Me too there are brutal lags :P

Maybe a change was made recently but for the last 2 days my gameplay has been much better- I'm still only joining smaller battles but I no longer get booted when more join (I'm very psyched to be able to play vs. 10+ players now).  Did you make an improvement somewhere?  Because if so, it worked... thanks!
