Post here your issues with lags and server instability

[Cor7y 13,862]

EN3 lagging badly, and taking ages to load.

Loading screen visible while in battle.

 

Not experiencing these problems with any other server.

That's an update, so that your garage will load faster.

The lag is so horrible that even RU1 - RU4 crashed periodically and I lost my battle funds :angry: :angry: :angry:

cool

en 3 always lags in the middle of a battle

and en4 constantly lags so you screen freezes and then everything reoccurs again. So you could be driving around and then the next second, you screen freezes and then you somehow are dead

Came back to tanki after a few months, forgot about the lags on 3 and 4.  Other servers too slow, garage not loading etc.etc.

Guess this game is dead now.

There was lag today in EN3, I had to refresh, but the server kept crashing and I ended up outside of the battle. Other players were complaining too on server chat

When I logged in this morning I thought the world ended. Couldn't get in the garage, NONE of my number keys did ANYTHING and could barely move. Seeing all the gripes about the upgrade made me think, Clear everything T.O. on my computer. Cache and history clear every time I close the browser, (Firefox). So I went in and deleted all my T.O. cookies and logged back in. Lag was nearly gone, I could get back in the garage and it was faster than it's been in several weeks. All my number keys returned to service as well. Might give that a try, a lot of changes have been made lately.

Same here mate! -_-

its worse than ever - seems to coincide with recent updates.

Here is my recommendation for all tankers with a lag problem:

What I recommend is that you join a quiet server and invite any 'friends' to your battle.

If you want to hang out with many players, go on a server with its bar halfway. Usually, that works to reduce lag.

I do understand that this is a problem. I am also affected. But these tips helped me prevent the loss of likely 45,000 crystals or more.

 

Tanki Staff, I also recommend that you monitor the times that any given player disconnects in an ongoing battle (disconnects from all servers) and reconnects within 1 minute and give the players compensation (like 100 crystals, so abuse of this system is unlikely, and why would someone spend 5 hours of their life doing boring stuff like disconnecting and reconnecting repeatedly just for about 13,000 crystals?)

^Currently having the same problem too.

[ksa_enus 248]

so I have no lag whatsoever

[TheUltimateTroller 18]

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 (like a turret slightly turning kind of noise) 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:  

 

 

That happens to me and what I do is kill everyone before they realize I broke the game!

Fps good than suddenly bad, ? Removed all speial graphicsexcept mipmapping help dev

[walis014 49]

the lag is now occuring in more that just ru1-_-

there is lag in en1 and en2 most of the time and sometimes even unpopular servers like en7 and ru20. we use these 2 servers for clan training since there wasnt much lag till now. plz sort the issue since we all know en7 and ru20 is never full and if 20 players in a server causes it to lag then ...

We're counting on the downloadable client to solve most of the lag problems. How's it going right now?

In most cases the server slows down. The PING and PING loss is increasing heavily, but the customers' internet connection is the same. Maybe there are too much clouds around your server complex.
