[Jwimmer 2,835]

umm couldnt it be a personal problem because for example bad wifi

The issues are waaaaaaay more than bad wifi. Theres 536 posts of people reporting stuff in this topic, and there is no way all of that is simply bad wifi.

WHEN I PRESS ANY BUTTON IT WORKS LITTLE BIT LATE AND WITH MORE SPEED WHICH IS ABNORMAL I CAN'T LOAD GARAGE FASTLY. BIG MAPS LAGG TOO MUCH SO I SHIFTED TO SMALL MAPS LIKE ISLAND,SANDBOX, ARENA, HILL MAPS AND SOMETIMES NOISE. IN NOISE WHEN I AM IN BLUE TEAM THAT IS DOWN NO LAGG BUT WHEN I GO UP OR PLAYING IN RED TEAM IT LAGGS.

Dear Tanki,

 

I have been experiencing lots of issues regarding lag on en4. I'm not sure if it's just for me, but I'll tell you what happened. The normal battle noises would go off eg. Turrets turning , driving, flag caps, and shots going everywhere, but the screen does not show that it is loading. The screen goes blank and then reappears with nothing on it but the chain ail back ground. In battle every 2 minutes the screen would go blank and say server connection failed. I tried everything and the last 1 worked, except that my fps went crazy and my ping as well. And soon enough after a few minutes, I got kicked out 4 battle inactivity even thought I was active the whole time. I got into another battle and if I killed someone they wouldn't die, they did not take any damage while I was taking damage and ended up with another problem. When I died the server connection failed again and the blank screen with the chain mail again. Please help if possible!

It the servers when they are busy.  Best thing is go to a server with less traffic and games with less players.  Most people just set games and leave the number of players as default.  I always bring the number right down, say for DM games 8 max on Berlin and Dusseldorf, 6 on Kungur and Serpuhov, on smaller maps 4.  This improves matters especially on quieter servers.

Hi,

On the server dropdown menu, there is all ways one server highlighted. Why?

Thanks,

SilentJay

Servers are highlighted with grey and white.  Grey is how popular that server is but not necessarily at your rank.  The white is games available at your rank.  Usually it is possible to find games in the grey.  Red is full and unavailable at the moment.  The fuller a server is indicated means it is most likely to have lag.

I run into SO MANY problems when playing this game. I have perfect internet connection and I never lag. Yet there was a gold box earlier today when I was playing TDM on Rio on the blue team. I had jumped down from a building and successfully made contact with the box first before the other players, yet it went THROUGH my tank. This is the fifth time it's happened! I'd ask for the 1,000 crystals I deserve to get because Tanki fails to keep it's game running properly, but they need photos or videos, so I'm out of luck. This has to be the worst game ever.

You were lagging at the moment. If your graphics are enabled, next time try to turn them off, they cause lags. This guide might help you to solve lagging issues: How to reduce lags?. Also, you can share your lag problems here: Info regarding lags and server instability

In Rio, it is impossible to take drops in the air while jumping. It's not lag on your end, nor on Tanki's end. This goes for both the gold box and the supply drops. Just keep this in mind next time when you're playing in Rio, good luck!

[Kurt_KurtDGreat 2,259]

Yup it's a glitch. It sucks, ik. Best bet would be a heavy hull and the drop is somewhere close to you so you can push everyone and get to the exact spot it lands since no one can take it from above...

[Mr.Cashier 1,622]

It's not lag on your end, nor on Tanki's end.

o.O Agree that there is a Glitch in Rio Map but you can't deny that Tanki Server's are lagging these days.And I don't think that "Gold went through" happens just in Rio.I have Experienced the same problem in other maps too....like Madness and Noise.

My experience has shown that Rio has some of the very worst lag problems.  It is not uncommon for me to find it unplayable.

i'm facing heavy lags at RU3 & RU4, anyone else facing the same thing?

Also in RU1 :(

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

Sometimes today, the ping was high, especially when a lot of players were online. And mainly on RU servers.

[hesham_king 11]

I am getting lags on RU4. It becomes really unbearable.

You can understand what I'm going to speak about from the title. RU1 Server Lags, Sometimes when I play battles a HUGE lag spike breaks into the battle and ruins the whole game. That's really annoying especially for Xp/Bp Players like me. Please tanki..Can you work on finding a solution or atleast making the capacity of the servers higher? Maybe these spikes are caused by players filling the server.Thanks and I hope the Devs can find a solution for this. :)

[noely01 149]

RU 1 has been having ALOT of problems lately... you might wanna report it here Server lags and instability

Edited May 17, 2016 by noely01

Have a super server with all the smaller servers inside of it. When a server is overfilled, move some battles to another server to avoid crashes. 

[austin112233 117]

I was playing Polygon CP for 60 minutes. I was first with a score of 5,652 . We are at the last minute with a battle fund of 25k. I had premium. Then, I was kicked out due to the server lag. Guess what, bye bye beautiful 12k cry and 60 minutes of my life. Tanki, fix this or else... (Not a threat :) )

Sadly, at times, during the later parts of the day the servers seem to be full of lag, and no it isn't my internet, I can go play other games watch videos etc. without any lagging, so it narrows down to server. 

 

This may be due to the amount of players on one server, I suggest we reduce the players per server ratio by 20-30% (where it says full) 

 

Obviously a obtacle here would be not enough servers, so that may not happen, but I seriosuly belive that would help...

[marc.jp_44 20,837]

Yes, it is common but unfixable, no one knows what the cause is, it's common on Ping spikes but you can't reduce it, just press the re enter the game button.

[BuriedSky 1,319]

Sometimes the server glitches and an error is encountered for everyone in a battle...nothing can be done, but a simple refresh sorts out the problem...

I myself don't get that problem so frequently as you, idk why....which server do you play in? Maybe try switching to another server?

 

As of the lag, 2-3 people saying 'lag' in chat is not a sure evidence that the served lags....many-a-times, I have seen people saying 'lag' in chat even when my gameplay was very smooth...

But however, did you try any of those solutions to solve lag?

[marc.jp_44 20,837]

I'm not quite sure what to do, here, so I suggest that you wait for a Moderator to come and answer your queries.
