Details about the lag

[Reeco9 1,567]

I'm in the UK, running Tanki on Chrome.

 

For me, the FPS and ping seem to remain normal (about 60 FPS and 19 ping) - but the game is still lagging. Usually, it sets in shortly after I join a battle. If I'm lucky, the game will freeze for a short while (the classic lag, with frozen tanks and spinning turrets), and then all will continue, but quite often it freezes completely, forcing me to refresh the page. However, the problems continue. If I can re-enter the battle, the lag persists most of the time. Sometimes I can't even re-enter though. I just get an infinitely long loading page after refreshing. This is normally when I give up.

 

Edit: Here's an example of the lag - notice the ping appears to be fine.

I had lag all day today but the connection speed was very good.

This problem seemed to happen more frequently after the last couple of updates, It was especially noticeable after the personal discount update. Happens 5-7 times in a 15 mins battle, usually when there are 4-5 tanks on  the screen fighting eachother, then it begins to happen. And it can take from 5 seconds to whole minutes to end. In my case it is happening quite frequently on sandbox although that is not the only map.

 

Sometimes it hits everyone at the same time, other times a few tanks are moving while the rest sit and turrets spin. I have been travelling with the flag and suddenly the flag falls away from my tank and I can't pick it up nor can I pick up boxes on the field. I become ghost like similiar to what happens when I first enter a map after changing hulls or turrets.

I think there is something else going on in the game.  a new cheat or hack or something.  My ping is 60 and fps at 40.  I can still move and shoot in the game, but everyone else is stuck.  Sometimes my health will just go down (slowly) without reason or I'll drop a flag without reason or the mod will ban someone for a flood without reason.  Smells Fishy to me..

[Mr_Rules 250]

my father lose about 3M DT to buy 3pcs ( because tanki my father will kill me :P )

 

i can play JUST 4vs4 , ping 200-500 , fps 10-3 ... for the last days, i didn't join anybattal for about 1month :( so i hope you help US !!!

[I.Can.Beat.U 341]

The lag in some games are exteremly long. I was in madness and i lasted the lag for 10 mins and the flags keeps dropping and it ruins the play and fun out of it. i lost around 40k form this lag i really am sad. PLEASE FIX IT

[Phoenix.Raised 5,992]

I was off line for 2 weeks, and today I notice I had first issue in TO in the past six months.

 

In batle lobby at main page I can see number and score of the players, but not their names and ranks. Only after a page refresh I can see names and ranks.

 

And biggest problem, during a battle when I step over a supply box or a flag I see my tank with flag or supply after some 5 seconds of delay. And sometimes my tank is moving and shooting, but other tanks are standing like frozen. After some time battle continues.

 

My PC is clean, browser updated, Flash player updated.....ping 30, fps 24-40

[smokeyh2 1,512]

if you ask me this topic is all about tanki trying to find time

these people own and run the game yet they are asking players what the problem is?

if they dont know what the problem is then who does?

 

if this game is in the state its in now

then i dread to think what unity is going to be like

 

come on tanki get this sorted out

[NeoPhyTe 80]

I see a big difference between lags on my noob accaunt (warrant officer 3) and my normal accaunt (Generalissimo). both on server 4 

 

on my noob accaunt I only got small lags: (server 4 EN)

-glitch faster on an other tank
- see someone spawning 5 times in a row (when he is still invisible)

- ping raising from 25 to 240 max

- never such a big lag that you cant kill anyone (like that you see tanks turnng there turret or standing still)

 

on my pro accaunt I got big lags (server 4 RU)

- ping 6-999
- every minute at least one big lag for like 20-40 second
-  no way to play a normal battle non stop small lags

 

playing from The Netherlands with normal ping of 6-15 and Fps 45-60

internet here isnt that fast.

playing on Opera Browser couse its faster for me not that much lags as Google Chrome

True, they can play and see the problems. No need to ask players

[Cor7y 13,862]

Due to the lag, sometimes I can't even go to EN servers :unsure: :mellow:

[Redlinezak_EN 83]

The problem for me is as follows.

The lag is always there - sometimes it can be present immediately after i enter the first server , some time i might get 5 minutes lag free if I am luck but it is there for 95% of the game.

It shows itself by all players freezing. I can drive but cannot collect boxes or flags etc.  If i have the flag at the time of the lag , when the game catches up i will have lost the flag.

When the game catches up all players will lag around the screen until the battle has caught up with every individuals players actions that they made during the lag.

A lot of time when trying to access or exit a server (or sometimes the game i will get a server closed error or just a screen hang.

I am on a hard wired connection with 50MB DL and 12 MB UL on a high spec i7 pc with GTX780 graphics and 16MB RAM.

 

Hope this helps

 

 

EDIT - If i try and exit a game during a lag it can hang for maybe 5-10 minutes so it is quicker to close the window and restart the game.

Look at my friends video and you will understand

I don't think my location or equipment are relevant in this as they are the exact same ones as before when there was no lag. Also, my ping and fps are pretty normal (both around 40) during the lagging. During lagging I can move my tank around the game world but all other tanks in the battle are stationary, except that some of them may spin their turrets and/or keep shooting. Or that's what it looks like at my end. I'm unable to take the flag, capture points or deliver damage to enemies. I don't know of any specific event that triggers the lagging, it just seems to occur all the time in practice.

[Perfect_Penetration 45]

Full details below:

Country: Lebanon

Connection Type: Boardband

Windows 7,

As i enter the battle, ping is 40, the lag start everyone will just lag out and the game will go crazy, its like when i ever had 999 ping before this main lag started but now even with ping 25-50 it lags like hell and this is in every server, but en servers lags more than russian ones, when lag starts all tanks just go crazy in everywhere, you cant take flags or cap flags or neither self destroy, after a minute or 2 it is back to normall and you continue the battle and than it re start later...

Also it's not just only in the battle, this happens when you chatting, you can chat and everything but when you click on the friend list it takes sometimes up to 5 minutes to show up even if u try go to the garage it dosent let you , until later... 

That all the details i could give...

all of a sudden all the other tanks stop. if their turrets were circling, they keep on 

circling. Same with shooting. I can't capture flags or points, can't kill enemies :angry:  or 

collect supplies.

lasts for 1-2 min.

then, everyone is somewhere else. :(

I live in England, usually get 2-3 lags a day

mostly use EN 4&6

when I use my laptop windows 8.1 didn't get lag. Maybe just today? :mellow:

Like my problem. I never had problems, since today

[hishamyas 364]

First when i join any battle i move normaly okay , then when i just move to get flag i see all lagging and my ping become like 20 and fps 10 as always , alright..then i tried to re-join again and i stopped for 1 min like what they say .. then i play normaly , but here the quest , why the other players when they join my battle or any battle else they don't become lag yet , they just move when they transfer to battle they move normaly.

[sensei_tanker 3,098]

Tanki has been sucking these days. It takes forever to load and plus when i try to sign in it doesn't save my username for me, it just makes the thing a new player has to fill out to play. Plus, EVERYONE lags at once which makes the game SOOOOO boring. Honestly, i say QUIT this Unity Project and FIX the OLD TANKI. Well, I don't know about you guys but this is what I've been experiencing and my opinions. Oh yeah, another thing: I can't leave a battle without exitting out my window and log in again, it will just load and load forever, then crash.

Look at my friends video and you will understand

 

Nice video, but he wasn't lagging when he caught it, he wouldn't have gotten it if he had kept on lagging. 

[Tap_Dancer 1,360]

In the lobby, it loads sooooooo slowly (worse than in game). It could take me up to 3 mins just to create 1 battle. My average fps would be 30 and suddenly it drops down to a few FPS, causing the game to freeze for a few seconds or more. Lag starts in the lobby.

[Halinator 52]

For me, Tanki has been lagging in the following ways:

 

1. The first time I join the game or a battle, it takes insanely long (Like 2 minutes) for me to actually enter
2. Also (though I experienced this a long time ago, and never occurred to me again besides in previous two days), when im in a battle, I start lagging out and I remain "indestructible (so I cant self-destruct)," and every tank, but mine, starts moving in circles, glitching though buildings, and firing infinite ammo, then suddenly, after about 9 seconds, it turns back to normal. Attention Tanki: I am not hacking. (Just to point out again). This is just a glitch im experiencing more often lately.

Thanks

 

Edit : Though the FPS and Ping is decent, I am still experiencing this.

 

Edit: I play on a Windows 7-Pro with an i5 core. Edit: adding on, I live in the US, my computer is manufactured by HP. Not sure what type my internet is, but it always stays at 5 bars. (Sometimes 4)

 

Edit: Hopes this helps and can be resolved soon :)

[pwhite 120]

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

 

 

Lol for a second I though I was the vandal kit in the background but anyway I have really good internet and a good computer but when I get lag it is on my end usually as it will affect minecraft but I just set up my computer to Ethernet so it should get better.
