Details about the lag

[Miahak 1,596]

Hello, tankers.

We need your help.

 

As we all know that tanki online lag started since last 5-6 days, most of the players are unable to play because of the pings, many players are getting really high pings in battle. Therefore, to solve this problem, we need some details from players about the lag, and we will transfer all your information to developers, so then the developers can fix this problem ASAP. Kindly tell us when the lags starts and what happen when it lags etc.

lag starts when i open tanki, lag ends when i close tanki

ping is mostly above 200 (For me)

and all the players sometimes get 999 ping  (this usually happens 3-4 times per 15 minute game)

sometimes the lags are worse and sometimes they are the worst

There is a no fix time for lag.. It suddenly appears in a game and every thing just stop..  after some time it become normal then again lagging.
In 15 min battle it happens 4-5 times(approx).

[magnaboy2 656]

Happens 5-7 times in a 15 mins battle, usually when there are 4-5 tanks on my screen fighting eachother, then it begins to happen. And it can take from 5 seconds to whole minutes to end. 

[Bydo 20,119]

for me it started on Monday last week ..what go`s on is the game puts you into a slow motion or it will just stop the game and your players tanks will turn turrets and the  whole things is like in a  3 dimensional world ..but your tank can move all over the place ..also when it resumes the game is speeded  up about 20 seconds so you loose out on kills..

 

i found if high ping dos happen now instead of refreshing in the last 2 min i put the game in pause motion so i get my crystals cause if you don`t you loose out on the battle funds every time i lost 10 games plus this week cause of it..along with gold drops

 

took this photo yesterday not sure if you can see any thing ..but the flame on fire bird never stopped and turrets were turning around ..also in photo you can see power box not getting picked up and this was even happening with gold as you all ready know about//sorry i wish i took a video and had a copy for u to see better

 

also i had issues signing into the server and not being able to get in until i closed and reopened my page

 

also when this happened on friday i had issues that in the forum my accounts were not real and there was no such accounts ..lol

 

hope this info helps a little

For me, the lags have just started after the last server maintenance… Before that, I never experienced any sorts of lags…The worst condition of lags was experienced this Sunday…

 

 

What happens?

Just before the lag starts:

I get a ping spike of 999ping for 1-2 seconds (this is my indication that the lag is gonna start)

 

During the lag:

The ping reduces a bit, but still remains high (around 200-400). FPS continues to change, but remains good enough. Other tanks continue doing the same action they were doing just before lag, for example – someone would keep circling around, someone would just rotate turret, etc.

In CP battles – If you were at the CP, then you would continue to charge it even during lag (charge, not capture)…and the red/blue line that attaches you to the CP would not leave you. In CTF- you cannot drop/pick flag.

During the lag, you can go anywhere (even the self destruct zones), do anything, nothing responds…

 

After the lag:

You continue the battle from where you moved during lag, you are not killed or moved back to your old position. (If you went in a self destruct zone or jumped from skybox, then you self destruct now)…after that, everything continues as normal….the battle timer does not show any change…the ping reduces back to normal ping (for me – 80-150)..

 

(If you need any more info. that I might had missed out, feel free to ask) ^_^

By the way, by "details" we mean that you need to not only describe the nature of lag, but also specify the conditions in which you play - internet connection type, device type, what country you are in and whatever other detail you can give which might help us.

[r_nachdrome0 47]

tanks just start spinning off, then jerk back.  also fps is bad US, dell pc, idk what enet i have

Mostly I don't get lag, but in the last few days, if I have youtube open for music, I have a lot more lag than normal, when I have youtube playing.  But otherwise it is mostly fine, apart from spikes of extreme lag that last for generally about 30 seconds, where none of my shots have any effect, turrets keep turning, driving off the map doesn't make me self destruct, and that sort of thing.  And when these spikes end it lags me out of Tanki and I have to reload, though every time I reload I rejoin the battle I was in before, without losing any of my score, apart from one spike of lag that was way too close to a gold box drop, about 5 seconds after I caught it, the lag hasn't been that much of a problem for me personally, though it is very annoying.  My ping is generally about 50, and fps is about 45.

I have a WLAN, which is just down the hall from my room, so I have a good connection, I have an ASUS X553MA laptop, and I play from the south of Spain.

[harish46v 29]

even i am lagging too much from this week , clear this issue ASAP .. my internet speed is very good ...and my browser is perfectly clean ... but still the game lags .... 

[certified-boss 5]

u need info let me tell u then, :angry:

 

i get 200+ ping , hardly able to cap any flag cz i go through it without even picking . tank jst goes through the gold

crazy things happen at gold a tank which is at base comes from no where and takes gold , -.- battle dnt end fair hell some peoples loading never completes and they have to refresh like 2 /3 times jst to get loaded BAD PING = bad game

bad game= waste of time

waste of time = no more tanki

no more tanki= end of this game

[rayaanMALHOTRA 378]

it lags when there is a lot of stuff going on .... lag started on the day when server restarted again 2 hrs after its scheduled restart .

 

it starts lagging when there is a drop falling and 3 or more than 3 tanks ane fighting for it .... ping which normaly is now around 150-200 reaches 500+ . also there are times of the day when like for example here in India between 12 PM TO 3 PM (6:30 UTC to 9:30 UTC ) it laags a lot more regularly.

 

It now takes a lot more time to load a game .... for example sandbox which earlier opened in 20-30 sec on standalone now takes more than triple the time 3 mins minimum. Medium maps like rio which opened before within a min takes two attempt ( included 4 mins of loading and when the bar stops for a sec or two and get stuck ... a reaload after that will open the map ) .... medium maps with levels ( noise) and larger maps do not open at all untill you have opened a smaller map or a medium map with smooth terrain .

 

 also i suspect the stand alone is getting stuck a lot more than before . ( but it might be wrong , may be i have started noticing it more often because of frequent lags)

 

i use wifi ... also used ethernet for the purpose and ping decreased by 3-4 ... almost negligible .

 

my internet speed is 512 kbps as it is said by the operator but i recieve around 300 kbps.

 

lappy is pentium quad core, 4 gb ram.

 

Fix it guys , this is a serious threat to the game.

[sooraj007 54]

lag comes when ever i open tanki  it longs for 5 or 6 minute  the ping and fps will be green all time after 6 minute or so  it will be gone for 1 or 2 minute  then comes back again 

 

1.i live in india 

 

2.uses 10 mbps net 

 

3. uses windows 7 and windows 8 ( lag remains same )

 

4. i have a intel i4 processor with 8 gb ram and a 2 gb graphics card 

 

i mostly don't play tanki now coz of lag  ... at first i usually play for 6 to 8 hours  and now coz of lag i only play for 30 min just for completing my missions

First of all I live in Ljubljana, Slovenia for additional information.
So, I have got laptop with specs: Intel core Duo processor 2,1 GHZ, RAM 4 GB, SSD 120 GB (Hard drive), my Internet speed is 20 mbps up and down and I am on cable, never on WIFI because I am always disconnected from it except if i print. My graphics card is pretty bad though,
but before that I haven't experienced any laggs. Of course my (integrated) graphics card has 64 MB video ram, that's why sometimes my screen becomes black and then says that my graphics card has crashed but without that I haven't experienced any laggs. From the update Test Drives (1.10.2015) There was a very special lagg. I thought that's my browser's fault so I changed the browser, I cleaned the cache and now it's working most optimal on the Firefox web browser. So when I play it looks like this: I am playing normal (all effects turned off except for skybox, mipmapping, fps, show drop zones) when suddenly everything freezes, like fatal error. But you are not the one that you have fatal error, but others, because they rotate their turret. In the past when that happened my screen became brown, I refreshed but that was very rare. But now it's quite often. Also my FPS is usual: 50 - 60 and ping from 20 to max. 100. And when I checked forum and when I was chatting with other people, I realized that this is not my fault. Oh, I need to add this. If I was still in battle (not refreshing, because if I refreshed than I went back to the battle until lagg striked again) after some time tanks moved fast to their places and I could continoue the battle. The lagg reduced during last 2 days but it is still annoying. Last time it was during TWO GOLD BOXES. One after another. But I rarely catch a gold box, so I forgive you. I hope you will be able to fix that lagg ASAP and not remove Test Drives. Regards, Martin (marto85)

I use google chrome and every time  I enter the game I have high ping and low fps

 

I live in India and I use a router

 

when people join the battle they become invisible and when I relod page they appear again

 

 

I use a desktop 9 gb ram 50 mbps internet speed and I have amd 4300 fx edition of processor

 

 

I wish lag decreases a lot and all players will hav a smooth gameplay

I have a fairly fast PC (fast Intel Processor) and high speed internet (10 mbps)

 

Saturday was the worst for me, kicked out of battles continuously. Sunday was a bit better but the lag was worse than I have ever seen.

 

I had a Ping as high as 900 at one point! Normally sits at around 142.

 

While I am here, my FPS rate is typically very low when I join a new battle, somewhere between 18 - 38, which seems to resolve itself after a few minutes. This has nothing to do with the lag experienced this past weekend but has been an issue for some weeks. Today, strangely enough, I have not had the same problem.

[Lankero 595]

Usually it's the "usual" lag for me except it happens all the time almost. When everyone stops or they start turning with their turret. And if you push someone they just flash back where they were, you can't pick anything up from the ground or kill anyone. Sometimes my ping is actually really good 20-70 and it won't lag but sometimes it goes really really high 500-999. And sometimes it freezes and then it kicks you out of the battle. And every map takes long(er) to reaload than usually. And it's making me really frustrated.... I hope you get it fixed soon Tanki.

   I am made to enter a battle several times :(  and i am just loosing all my battle funds and kicked off from the battle because i can't even enter the battle i was playing before.I used to play 3-4 hours before now just i am hardly playing for 30 minutes,I am being too much frustrated and closing the game,cause i am hardly playing for few minutes.I was not lagging before like this but from 5-6 days i am lagging like hell.

 

                              From the past few days i am entering the game and playing it without lag,but for sudden i am hit by a lag and not even able to reenter and simply i loose all my battle funds

[Heist 8]

My ping is good Only when i play and when i enter battle its 999 after 1-2 seconds its get fix . I have fps normal its sometimes low and sometimes 60 - 180  at gold ( 40 - 20 ) and my ping and fps get higher when in same place are many players ( beacuse i get lag at gold

[Paco_Geo 5]

i play on a high gaming computer  and a very strong connection internet Wi-fi And i never lag and since 5-6 days ago it's gotten worst the garage would always open super quick but now it takes forever and also the lagg starts when i pick up something and like supplies or when i shoot and the Ping gets crazy high when i get killed it's very terrible i can barely even play it just doesn't let me i Hope this gets fixed.

[Akame 4,577]

Well, when lag initiates, all turrets mostly lt continuously spins, some hulls move by dropping/falling or circling...i call this lag,  Lag time as u can kind of travel in time..., all flags are dropped so i have found a way to defend a stolen flag, go to the spot where the flag bearer is and wait for lag to stop, also u can run to the oponents base and wait till lags over and take their flag and run for it and hide. However if u have the flag ur at a disadvantage, u gotta stay where u are until lag stops and pick the flag up quick.. also this spoils sometimes 1/2 of a battle or more as many leave. lag time mostly experienced on en3 and en4 so far, en9 seems safe so far, not tried other servers. during the lag it is possible to type in battle chat, however it will only appear once lag is over. if the battle ends due to time, lag stops. due to lag, drugs run out quickly, u can't pick up drugs, press any drugs, i.e 1 for first aid kit. Thats the basics of lag time i have encountered. The game does not have a fatal error as a result of the lag time. After lag time so supplies are not pickable by some tanks,

I trust that tanki wll get this sorted out,

btw i have an acer aspire E1-571 and a wireless connection that  is average of 30mb so it is not my systme or network,

p.s. sorry but my writing skills are slighlty poor,

i'm pinging about 150 -  Lag causes tank to move in a jerky fashion.  When taking a shot at a tank, that tank just fast-forwards high speed like and shot is missed. 

 

Yesterday, I captured the flag and had Isida lightning  chasing me from their flag all the way to my flag but no tank in sight.  Then it just fast forward again and I lost flag and had been destroyed.

 

very, very annoying situation.

 

thanks for looking into it developers.
