Post here your issues with lags and server instability

[JamPot15 0]

I have been experiencing total game stops/scene freezes, followed by weird color swirls in the frozen graphics if I don't hit the Refresh icon soon after the pause starts.  Usually, once I've done the Refresh and get back in the game things seem  to run normally. However, the time that it takes to go through "Refresh" also runs in the game I was playing and often resulting in entering the next sequence of the game.

when I enters the game it shows re-enter in en-2

I experiance a lot of sticked-keys (whily the windows stick key feature is definitely off...).But suddenly out of nowhere my tank or turret spins to one direction, or the perspective moves up / down..>> even if I releasse all keys.. it continues to do so !!It helps to push the button, that is used for the sticked action (like if turret rotates right, I can push x to "un-stick" it)(yes, this is not lag...)

Ur keyboard...

Instead of adding a bunch of features (Teddy Bears, battle monitoring, mission chains, etc.) why don't you fix the BUGS in the current software?  I could probably sit down and list at least a DOZEN bugs that I've encountered.  I used to report them - but customer "service" isn't interested, so I no longer waste my time.

 

Here's a hint:  The bigger your code base, the harder it is to maintain.  And the two are not in a linear relationship.  Double the code base and your overhead more than doubles.  So if you can't fix the bugs you already have, adding more "features" isn't going to make your job easier, or even proportionately harder.  It's going to make it MUCH harder.

 

There are a lot of things in the design of Tanki that are just plain stupid.  For example, why don't you display the current tank configuration on the battle page.  Really?  You have to go to the garage and look?  And you can't really change features "in battle" as advertised.  Instead, you have to go to the garage, make the changes, blow up your tank.  Why not just have drop down menus to select changes on the fly and a button that says "makes selected changes"?

 

But the bugs that tick me off the most are the phantom tanks and one-way kill feature.  I've played games where I could see my screen and my friend's screen.  He can shoot me and it scores damage.  I shoot him - the shot hits - but no damage.  One time I shot him 14 times - no damage!  Then he shot me twice and I was dead.  I've even shot him in exchanges where I shoot him (nothing) he shoots me (damage) I shoot him (nothing) he shoots me (destroyed).  I've been in battles where I've hit someone a dozen times - nothing happens.  My gun isn't working.  Or the controls freeze up.  Or the gun doesn't fire at all.  Or the turret won't rotate.  These are mostly fairly recent bugs.  Did your new "features" include them?  Is the server instability the result of adding new features before fixing the old bugs?

 

​If it were up to me i'd put a moratorium on new features.  I'd devote 100% of the effort to finding and fixing bugs.

 

​Look, you've got a  real-time distributed multi-party system - why bog it down with crapola that's a whole lot less important than bug fixes?

 

And then there's the whole KGB-approach to Tanki.  You'd rather build tools to spy on tankers than fix the bugs you have.  What does that say about the mentality of whoever is directing development?  It's more important that you find some new way for monitors to harass players than to fix what's broken.  How about you build tools to spy on the servers - to find the bugs that ruin the game?

Server RU1 keeps crashing and saying under maintenance which ruins important battles with a high fund or goldbox falling etc.

If.it does, go to EN8 or any other If you wanna play.

[Isida-Tic 1]

Hi TANKI :)

 

There are 3 types of lags I have experienced.

 

I) It occurs mostly in EN -4

Sometimes when I am in a battle everything stops suddenly.And after sometime everything starts moving very fastly ,and most of the time I found myself destroyed.

 

II) It also occurs in EN -4

At one moment i see someone moving forward,and in another moment it goes backward with a faster speed.

 

III) It occurs in EN -5

Mostly I am unable to take supplies even GOLD BOXES

I hope it will be sorted out soon.

I think that the third lag you are telling is a prediction move hack by others. I myself experienced this a lot buddy.

[TheMask321 159]

its all mess, every server from EN2 to EN 7 it happens, mostly EN5 (cz i play there)

as said by the first person, i can move but all other players are rotating their turrets. i fired fire on them for 5 min and they didnt die LOL

and i get thrown out of the game. also sometimes the ping goes 999 even if my internet speed it too high and stable too. fps drops like 1 and sometimes i think it could drop below 0 too. all of a sudden the game hangs, and suddenly i am in nowhere land i i have been killed like so many number of times again in my KD ratio. (XD). i hate to play now. i am loosing crystals like a broken water pipe with water in full force. my anger is growing like my pc fan speed after laptop turns on. please fix this. i know developers are talented and skilled. but a lot more coding and programming is required.

Thanks!

I've been having unusual lag problems lately . I used to get stable near 100 ping but these days it likes to jump to ~200 and back , sometimes even 300 . I have made sure that nothing is running in background while I play .

 

• My ping is absolutely normal in other games (like it is supposed to be)
• All my friends who play from the same country (India) don't have any problems like this one .
• I have tried from the most populated to the most vacant servers . Same problem.

 

I don't understand how people here get 60-100 ping from European servers in the first place . Can anyone explain this too ?

 

[BlueDragon_tamki 3,204]

I have that very same problem sometimes

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:

I have that very same problem sometimes

I think most of us do..

[Pride.ln.Blood 1,065]

Hello there !

 

I usually have high ping or low fps on RU1 and RU3

 

I see tanks rotating their turrets on 360 and their hulls move forward until a wall or building came before it

[Forestad20 4]

i was in a battle on my main acc Forestad19 and the fund was 44k but the server crashed and when I refreshed only 1 guy got the cry because he just joined I was in the battle for like 3 hours!!!!!

[Striikker 0]

I have a problem.

Mostly every game I play there is some lag and the tanks in the game just repeat what ever they were doing last. For example, if a tank had just drove off a platform. He would glitch and teleport up to the platform then fall off it again and repeat. Also, turrets would just keep spinning and spinning. And I had Vulcan, I would never overheat. Finally, tanks seem to be invincible and unable to destoy. I hope you can fix this. These problems seem to be happening on EN6 and other highly populated servers.

I often can't load the garage or the battles.

So Weird, i was playing in RU1 (Courage XP- BP) (CTF) the maximum Team number in such a battle is 8, but The Red team was 9 and my blue team was 7 :wacko:  :wacko:  :wacko: and when i checked the battle from outside it was 8 to 8, i made a comparison between the 2 screenshots and i figured out that one player of my team is in wrong side ( he is in the enemy battle list and he is the first one too :blink:  :blink:  :blink:  :blink:  :blink:  you can check the 2 screenshots ( The mutual Player is "Alexandr35rus"), i got out from the battle and i forgot to check which team this player was really playing for (but i think he was in Red team, they were so many) and (most players were chatting in Russian, they were not playing ).i hope this can help, :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:  :rolleyes:

During the last few days (before 3rd of March, I have not played today, yet) I regularly met the following problem:

tankionline stopped to respond to the S key, so I could not go backwards. When this happens the S key does not work reliably in chat either. The back arrow works even in this case. It is not a keyboard problem of my computer because if I open a text editor, then the S appears without problems every time I press the button. I use Google Chrome as a browser to play TankiOnline.

 

By the time, I have finished my today's gameplay session (it lasted approximately 3 hours) and the problem did not appear, so I hope it has been fixed with the update.

I've been suffering lags too! This is my problem and it's on EN4. I was in a battle. I was doing well. The next time I respawned, I din't like, come to life maybe? till I got to point A. And then all of the other player went fast back and forth.

Ackerka it happened to me but in different way, i always enter the game through the English community,and i tried weeks ago and yesterday to enter through the German one to talk with friends, i entered a battle and Z key did not work , i could not turn my turret to the left, when i got back to English it worked normally.

Reallllllllllllllly Guys, Time is 11:45 PM UTC (Dead time) , Server RU1 has crashed again, only 12 894 players are online, The server had few battles before the Crash, so it's impossible to be overloaded,

 

i don't want to say that because i love the game and i had much fun playing it, but some players are spreading rumors ( really mean Rumors), They claim that lags and server instability are related somehow to "Tanki X launching plan" , i am not going to repeat what they said, but they are talking about killing the old to let the new rise, i hope they are wrong  -_-  <_<

If you also changed the keyboard layout (e.g. by alt+shift to be able to type special German characters then the Y and Z were swapped by the operating system and that might be the reason of why Z did not work. In my case the S key is in the same place in every keyboard layout I use.

Nevertheless, the problem did not appear to me today, so I hope it has been fixed by the update.
