Ok, so you want information of what's been going on?

 

This is the perfect topic to explain what's been going on with the server lags of late the past month or so?

 

Well then... here it goes!

 

Allow me to explain in full detail :)

 

(and I mean in FULL detail  ;))

 

Click on the spoiler below.. and be prepared for an extremely long, LONG post :D

 

Don't say I didn't warn you  ;)

 

 

 

We all are in the middle of a battle, a decent battle too, high fund and everything..

 

Then the next thing that happens is this:

 

It makes some weird noises (not sure exactly what the noise is) then the next thing that happens that I (and I think that everyone else sees too) is that everyone is still in the battle, you can still move around and everything (like you would normally would do), but everyone else in that battle is not moving at all.. not moving their hulls at least. ( :huh:)  instead their turrets are just constantly turning and stuff.

 

Then moments after that occours, it simply just.. well.. goes off ._. and the only thing that I see then is just a black blank screen.. that's it, nothing else ._.

 

Now, the server that I find this problem happening on the most is server RU1 and sometimes server RU2 as well.. no other servers, just them two. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention EN2 sometimes has this "lag" problem as well.. but only rarely and sometimes.. but the lag problem and stuff happens mostly on RU1 + RU2.

 

It takes heaps load of refreshing to get back on the actual game, takes a good 5 minutes maxium (I think) to actually get back on the actual game and instead of putting us back into the battle that we got kicked out of to start with.. it instead loads us back into the lobby and says something like "the link of this battle is outdated" or something like that.

 

And whatever battle fund we made in that battle, (even if it's 10K+) we don't get nothing from it.. 0.. zilch :( all that time and effort into getting a decent fund like that was all for nothing.

 

This lag problem has been happening for weeks, hell.. maybe months now and it's so annoying and frustrating.

 

And I've experienced this problem many times.

 

Heck, I even experienced it 4 times yesterday alone in the space of 1 hour.. 1 hour! 3 games that I got kicked out of didn't really bother me because the fund wasn't really that high to be honest, or the game had barely started.

 

But one of the games that I unfairly got kicked out of yesterday was when I was in the middle of a very decent Courage XP/BP battle on RU1. I was on the winning team of a 16 flag limit game, the score was 8-8 and I was in 3rd place, the fund was 17K (or so) and I was only 100+ points behind the 2 people above me, so I was slowly reaching 1st place! and I'm sure we would have won, because at the start of the match, we were getting smashed 6-1.. but anyway.. that's not the point.

 

Then before I know it, the lag problem (that I explained above earlier) happened and in the end, none of us got a single crystal from the 17K+ fund ._. and I was so annoyed -____- very annoyed.

 

So yeah.. that's it. 

 

That's the "lag" problem that I've (and everyone else I think) have experienced this past month or so.

 

And the worst thing about it?

 

We haven't got a refund!

 

Not once! -.-

 

So Tanki, I plead with you.. like I've pleaded with no other game before.. if you could please.. please.. PLEASE sort out this issue ASAP, then.. well... 

 

 

 

 

I hope that the information that I provided you will help you sort out this issue ASAP in the future :)

 

Thank you :)

 

P.S, sometimes ping can just randomly shoot to sharpe 999 ping, (mostly when I'm in the process of slaughtering one of my enemies to pieces) then the battle just simply freezes, (turrets turning and all that rubbish) then seconds later everything returns to normal and the next thing that I know I find that I'm just respawning :mellow:

 

Like, what the hell??? :wacko:  

 

 

Exact same thing happened to me. Multiple times.. Once I was in a Polygon CP on RU1 with a 53k fund, I was in 4th on the winning team when what TheGoldenTanker99 said happened. I refreshed into the lobby to find that the battle was still going but with all new players who have a better and faster computer/ internet... I played for over an hour to get 0 crystals! Instead somone who played for 20 mins got my share.

[BlooD_oF_BulGaRiA 6]

The majority of tankers, as you might already know play in the first russian servers(RU1-2-3) .No matter of their nationality or language,players just prefer these 3 servers,because they are the most comfortable to play in.I think mostly because this is the place where all fromat battles were created and it all started from there. You can find a game easier,faster and get more crystals consequently for less amount of time..RU1 is the only server in which XP battles are most common , so everyone that wants to play this type of battle would prefer this server than the other where XP battles are much less . What is more,RU2 is the other server,known mostly for it's many format battles-normal PRO battles with Micro updates.In my case,I prefer this type of game and many players(including my whole list of friends) would play in RU2 again for the same reason - there are many battles of this type there.RU3 is server where sometimes we play pro battles if the other servers are lagging..so it's also one of the 3 most used.CP battles(PRO battles CP mode with MU but without drugs,or just XP CP format) that I forgot to mention are also one of the most played in both RU1 and RU2.About "when and on which server it occurred" - from my personal experience I know that it mostly happens in those servers above (ru1-2-3)

 

I think the tanker's rank is also important..So many generalissimos in tanki and there aren't any battles for them in the other servers.I have searched and found that from RU5-6(not exactly but around) to all other servers (not including EN1 where you can find some games),there are so few battles available for me as generalissimo to play.We can't even talk about pro battles.So we come again to why players prefer playing in the firts servers.

 

As someone said and I have experienced it also, the problem with lost fund and the whole battle is over..Most of the time we play battles longer than 1-2 hours and not only me and my friends but many players also(especially when battles are format ones) ..When these lags happen we all just get kicked.If someone has the luck to reload the game before 5 minutes after they went out , they come back to the battle with their saved points and eventually get the biggest part of the fund.All the others have already logged out from that game and have lost their points/experience.If no one has come to that battle with his same points the game is just over.

 

It's not the biggest problem that we need to reload,but that we lose the whole time spent playing.I think everyone values their time,no matter what they're doing,so even if it's little you end up losing it with those problems .

 

You just need to find solution to this problem ..Wheter to stimulate us-the players to create battles in the other servers or wheter to expand servers' capacity so we can no longer have those issues , we deserve to play normally .

 

Hopefully I helped,at least this is what I think about lags here.

Semyon Kirov, so didn't leave Tanki, where are you, why aren't you in Vlogs any more. I miss you. Will you come back? Please answer these questions.

[TIMI 1,080]

Basically, since the past few days the servers RU1 and RU2 are not only lagging and CRASHING. I lost alot of battle fund while playing in RU1 yesterday.

[cube3e 1,973]

There are many types of lags that keep occurring (at least to me). The first lag is the one that I'm pretty sure everyone faces... when everyone’s tank just freezes and their turrets just spin around in a certain direction and I can still move my tank and hull normally but can't kill any other tankers. After a certain time my Standalone Flash Player just shuts down... but now I usually just restart my Standalone Flash Player when I see the lag occur so that I could get back into the battle as soon as possible although almost all the time when I try to log back in it says that the server is full... I've noticed that this lag usually takes place whilst gold is dropping which I find extremely annoying! The server this lag usually happens to me is in RU1 which is actually the only server I ever play on although I do go to EN2 when RU1 is too full and to be honest I've never faced any such problems in EN2. I've also found that this lag occurs to every person in that certain battle simultaneously.
Now the second type of lag that I face quite rarely but still unbelievably annoying is a lag referred to as by some tankers... "Mega Lag" where some tanks around you start turning completely black (usually starting with the turret turning black then the whole tank) and the longer you stay in the battle the worst the lag becomes... and by that I mean the "blackness" spreads to other tanks and over time the nicknames of tankers disappear which means you can't tell who is in your team and who's not! This lag doesn't go away until you either refresh your page or in my case just restart Standalone Flash Player again. This lag too occurs when gold is dropping! This lag usually happens to me during 'Save The Gold''s. It hasn't happened to me recently though and neither have I been doing any 'Save The Gold''s recently.

Also in addition there's a third lag but happens to me very, very rarely. My turret all of a sudden seems to deal no damage to other players in the battle when you shoot... once I was in the middle of a 1v1 with a friend and I took about 5 shots at him and he still didn't die and apparently according to him, I wasn't shooting at him at all but just running around...

Another lag which in my opinion I love as it usually only happens to me rather then everyone else in the battle... "Thunder Lag" (as I like to call it). My Thunder all of a sudden seems to deal no self-damage to me... this lag can be removed very easily... just self destruct or get killed by someone. This lag has only happened to me in parkour battles as of now.

It hasn't occured to me recently though.

Also some of the tanks just also go to the corners  and the turrets keeps turning against the walls

Pasa muy seguido, estoy jugando, y de pronto todo queda bloqueado, a veces si espero un rato sale el mensaje “cargar de nuevo”, en otras ocasiones simplemente tengo que reiniciar el juego. Y viene al otro problema algunas veces al reiniciar el juego y entrar, la puntuación (y por lo tanto los cristales) sencillamente desaparece. Es como si entrara por primera vez al juego, lo cual no es justo. Parece que los otros  jugadores si siguen su juego, y eso esta mal, porque  no solo uno pierde tiempo, y cristales ganados, sino que no puede uno aportar al equipo, en el caso de los modos de equipo, y dos minutos fuera es crucial en el resultado. 

Eso en cuanto a problemas con el juego.

 

Una queja con respecto a las cajas de cristal. ¿están en vías de extinción?, aparte de son solo 1000 cristales, YA NI APARECEN, y cuando por fin aparece una caja de cristal pasa una de las siguientes cosas: o uno no se da cuenta sino hasta que alguien la toma, o se sabe que va a caer pero uno esta lejos, o tengo la suerte de estar cerca pero es imposible competir con los otros tanques. En tal caso no le veo sentido a la misión, colectar una caja de oro, porque eso es casi imposible. 

Mi sugerencia es: al menos colocar en una esquina de la pantalla de la interfaz juego un dibujo cuando  una caja de cristal vaya a aparecer.

Hey
I want know, if the ForumsAdministrator... 
Can help me?
I always play TO in a laptop, this device contain processor Dual Core....
I know that to play TO, I need a device with minimum a processor Core i3
So in this laptop with processor Dual Core, I always have issues with lag....
Always my FPS is 1-15  and my PING is 600-900 (Rarely my ping is stable, between 150-300, but is rarely)
These problems sometimes don't let me catch power boxes (Double Armor, Double Damage, Speed Boost, Repait Kit) and the enemy flag also.
So..... I want know if you can say me some options to solve this problem
I installed Adobe Flash Player, the last version, but the problem follow.
Please tell me, that is no have solution, except buy a device with Core i3 or higher, or if yes have another solution, tell me, What I can do?

Get better GPU for better FPS.

For lower ping get better internet

This is why you don't do STG in RU1..

 

No no no.. 

 

Big no.

[Marwan.Zlord 26]

No No Semyon, come on. don't act like you are surprised about the lags and don't act like this they only started recently.
The lags started like 2 months ago and btw, they are not only lags.. they are server failures. the server completely goes down and both battle fund and players scores vanishes.

You and tanki staff tried to neglect the issue or act like it doesn't exist.

and don't try to convince us that your developers are working on it, it has been 2 months now. they would have been solved it if so. but the truth is you and your devolopers only care about the new cash-cow, tanki-X.
 

[dj112_TURBO 388]

Well,

 

i would like to add the fact that the internet connection is also the partner of crime.

i got two networks one cellular other wifi when i play over cellular i rarely face lags but same server same battle wifi makes me lag a lot.

also bigger maps makes player lag more as whole data around is sent and recieved plus the number of player on a particualr server adds to server proccesing potential which at times make it laggy. 

[BlackPanther338 0]

Okay, this idea great. I was just in a match in Monte Carlo, and a hornet tried jumping off the ramp.

I shot him and he fell, so he should have died. 

NOPE!!!

He re appears on our flag, kills me, and runs back.

PLEASE FIX THIS!!!

[potato101 0]

I keep having am issue where ill be in midair and suddenly self destruct. this has caused me to lose 1v1 xp/bp matches more than 1 time when it is 6-6 flags. please fix this issue ASAP. love ya all tanki team :D

[TheGoldenTanker 4,951]

Annoying as the lags may be and stuff, kudos to Tanki for making a topic about so we can give them information of what's been going on with the whole lag and server failure stuff and to help them fix the problem.

 

RU1 and RU2 have always been laggy servers for as long I've known them to be, they always dish out low FPS and high ping..

 

But.. never anything bad as this ._.

[TURBOCSUTKA 0]

RU1 RU2 and RU3 servers are laggin'. We can't earn any crystals and the server crashes at every gold . Pls solve the problem because these servers are popular for xp/bp players and we need 'em.

[cane0027 0]

Well this lag problem is simply annoying like when I am playing and I am shooting my opponent it just starts lagging then I can't play their turrets and all are turning some one is falling but he got back to the same place he was before. In CP mode when it lags the line of the point comes with you anywhere you go and then suddenly the game crashes and each time this has happened my PING was like 999 and my FPS was below 30-20. When I caught the gold box my name is not appearing in my screen then I see that the gold is hidden in my tank and then some one rams me and takes the gold :( . Please help .

sir,

its not tanki online's fault..i think its a user end fault. because whenever my internet is running slow, i get this problem, and then when i change my isp to a 4g internet then my game runs perfect.

1 tip u can use i think...try to use low pixel/bytes graphics so that it will be helpful for slow internet users to load and run their games perfectly. 

as far as i have experienced...there is always a slow internet speed fault behid the lag.

thanks and love tanki

[Spit_Fyre 334]

In order of annoyance/frequency scale, assuming I play 5 battles daily-

1. The Goldbox passes right through you. I've seen this happening pretty often (like 1 in 12 golds seen). I've experienced it rarely (maybe 1 in 15 golds caught) & but then I don't get golds often.
2. Battle freezes. Just as many have already explained in their posts here. This happens uncommonly (1 in 25 battles, usually big maps). I've given up trying to re-enter battles when this happens.
3. Join a battle and the turret deals no damage, you can't pick/drop flag, but can take damage. This is extremely frequent (like 1 in 3 battles). It curiously sorts itself out on the second respawn.
4. The same as scene#2, but it stays that way and does not fix itself, even after refreshing. The occurrence is rare (1 in 50 battles maybe). I just restart the browser or switch between mozilla/chrome. Seems to work.
5. Seeing tanks zoom through the maps at the speed of light, tanks reset after having flipped tracks up, getting hit by enemy fire when my tank visibly wasn't, ramming into other tanks and doing spectacular somersaults before auto-selfdestructing, tank visuals that make me think the enemy went left when they actually went right etc. These things happen all the time and are the least of my concerns with respect to this list.
6. Not sure if it's relevant here, but I often face the problem of simply not being able to join a battle (there may be many empty player slots), even after multiple retries. The screen hangs on "loading". This happens often (1 in 7 battles).

 

If I think of something else I'll be adding to this ^.

P.s. My fps is decent most of the time. Ping does go haywire at times.

[Daver451 4]

Right now on Berlin CTF I have had to re enter the game 10 to 15 times due to errors....seem to be happening over the last few days in other battles olsa

[crocodillius 2]

Ok, so the thing that causes my lags is probably my computer but lets keep the options open. So the thing that's wrong with my game is that I can't play large maps with more than 5 players per team - as an example is Serpuhov with 10 players per team(full teams) I can't play normally, what happens is that when I try to hit an enemy or even see 1, my tank stops for about 2 or 3 seconds and than I end up driving in some wall automaticly, without even pressing any keys on my keyboard and ussully end up destroyed right after.             

But lately some weird lags started to happen on small maps too, they looked the same as I've written above but they happen to all the players in the map at the same time and not just me. :/

And also some kind of weird glitch happens, when I can't pick up a box nor can I destroy an enemy tank when I first enter the battle (getting destroyed ussully fixes this).

Besides that my gaming experience hasn't changed (just to make it clear about a year ago I was able to play large maps with full teams) and Tanki works the same for me.

The servers I normally play are EN1 and EN2 no such things as errors occoured - i never have to reenter the game.

the only issues i have on my account and it only happens when tanki upgrades or installs new stuff ..i get a high lag / ping count and normally its ok below 60 ..i keep watch on this daily

 

other then that invisible tank when responding
