Post here your issues with lags and server instability

[Evan1999 7]

I rarely play on Russian servers, mostly English ones. it occured to me 2 times last week (during the double funds). The ping went to 999 at once, then I was kicked off.

it wasnt a big deal cos both battles just started, but I feel really sorry for all the people experiencing this problem in a battle thats just on its end. 

(Im expecting Karma to visit me somehow tonight...)

I have the problem of my ping going to 999 when a gold box falls or there is a pile of tanks around a flag or any area. This will cause my tank to drop the flag and no be able to pick up supplies or gold boxes!!!!I play on EN3

[foxxx47 0]

I would go on then my computer would shut down when i join a battle 

[monstermaniac 2]

As u already know its been very slow saying friends are in the battle..i join and no friends...hmm od...leave still says it....i click on a different battle and its takes more than 20seconds to go on it. I also get lag when gold box notification appears..may just be coz tankers putting supplys onand rushing about fastly but i dont know realy.....

[monstermaniac 2]

When ever i join a game i have to click the screen and press esc alot of times befor i can actuly damage tanks and pick boxes up....

I think it was berlin map kept having to leave due to errors then 2minutes later it would comeup again.it hapened to everyone so i just left because there was no point playing.

[donaldo9000 1,342]

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.

 

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.

3 is a common problem for me too. It is very annoying. Every time it happens I think: 'Why is it taking so long to kill that dude.' And then I remember: 'Oh yeah.. I have to be destructed/self-destructed first.' Like I said, very annoying. But im confident the Tanki staff are doing the best they can to fix all this stuff.

Hi,

 

On Feb.29 I was playing a 1 hour game of Polygon CP. About mid way through everyone froze. I waited for about 5 minutes, then I refreshed the page. It took a while to get back on and when I did I was no longer in the game so I missed out on about a 2k reward from a large battle fund.

[Tank_Toy 1]

I have also same problems. i quatation the first comment 

TheGoldenTanker99

for some issues cause it is same for me:

 

First i think it happens for my internet connection error but i check it everthing is ok about it. And i think it s cause of my computer. i formatted it but it still go on. Here is my problems about game:

 

"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."

 

"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, "

 

"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"

 

It occurs servers on EN2 EN3 RU6 and RU7

[cooldude9393 0]

ok my lag is when i first join a battle i have to press the delete button or else i can't catch supplies or gold boxs and and when i shoot someone they don't get any damage

 

and

 

the other day i joined a battle and the other dude left after i killed him like 3 times in a row well then the early battle thing came on and 10 seconds b 4 it was to end the battle someone joined and they left and they joined the second time the early battle thing came on it came on in the gold box will be dropped soon color and it was wired

[Sleek 43]

I don't have any lag problems.

 

But that's probably because I don't play Tanki anymore...

 

Actually, the only reason I even go on this site is to see Tanki Offline crumbling to pieces day by day  :D

 

It's a bit sad that Tanki is this bad, but I guess they couldn't care less because of their precious Tanki X...

 

Good luck being poor, russians  ;)

I think it was berlin map kept having to leave due to errors then 2minutes later it would comeup again.it hapened to everyone so i just left because there was no point playing.

that used to happen to me when i played berlin

[Moisthero 16]

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:  

 

 

I totally agree. The same experiance. Only my feeling is that this happens on many servers. March 1 was a disaster. Worst ever lag as well as lack of possibility to load a game. I love Berlin, but that usually crashes, regardless of server.

[GorcsevIvan 55]

Beside the lag issue I would like to mention two annoying one:

1. On big maps like Berlin or Dusseldorf when populated. After a while the screen freezes, an annoying "turret rotating like" noise starts loudly, then I am out after a few seconds. Then I can either login back to the battle or I got a server failure/over populated message. Mainly on Ru1 or even on EN2 sometimes.
    
2. The other issue is not in the battle, but whey I try to enter a battle.
   Having clicked on the Play button, the progress bar started normally in the middle of the screen. Then it slowed down and stopped before the end. Then I had to reload the page. This happened only in the last two weeks mainly on RU1 (but one day occured on EN2 and RU2, too), usually when the servers are populated (the RU1 red, but the others were white). When this happened there were lags here and there.
   Curious enough that I could enter some battles without issues (on the same server), but some caused this. I cannot remember if this issue has any relation to specific maps or map size.

[Moisthero 16]

Let me also add that the lag problem has been a current issue fort he last 8 months or so. It was worse in early 2015, then got better, now it is worse again.

[Rexy_2016 0]

I experienced a lot of lag; I love this game but when it kept lagging I got frustrated with the, so I stopped playing for about twenty minutes and got back on and it lagged again but I kept playing to finish my daily missions. It finally stopped lagging so I played with my friends until I had to go to bed. But love the game and keep improving. Nickname: Rexy_2016

LAG began immediately after "Early Battle Termination" Game Update. (3 weeks ago?)

 

Before LAG, my "In-Game" FPS was 30-40 - - - PING was 60-70

 

Now In-Game FPS is -20 (Minus Twenty-in red letters) - PING 120-150.

 

Server: EN2

Times I am active: 21:00 UTC to 23:00 UTC, and 2:00 UTC to 6:00 UTC

 

OS: Win 7 64 Bit

Firefox Ver 44.0.2

Desktop PC

2.2 Mhz Quadcore

8 GB Ram

 

Internet Connection: WiFi: @ 150 mps

OOKLA Speedtest

PING: 19 ms

DOWN: 73.14 mbps

UP: 12.03 Mbps

 

LAG begins on Game Join, and lasts minimum 5 minutes, with random re-occurrences.

 

"Game Error - re-enter the game" occurs 6 of 10 times, always in last 5 minutes of 15 minute game. (60% of games end in Game Error, and crash)

 

During LAG, game is completely unplayable.

When LAG subsides, the GAME CRASHES.

 

THIS IS THE THIRD INSTANCE OF CRIPPLING LAG INTRODUCED AFTER GAME UPDATE I HAVE SEEN IN 16 MONTHS.

HOW MANY MORE CAN YOU SURVIVE?

:  In server EN2 

Also have to renter game

and i'm play the game login with facebook

[ArtisannasitrA 6]

   I believe the kit was called Mosquito. It had an M2 Wasp Hull in it.

I worked my rear end off to rank up. The day before I ranked up

I bought enough crystals to buy the kit. The VERY DAY I ranked

up AND had enough crystals to buy the kit that had the Wasp m2

hull the kit  DISAPPEARED.

 

I have not played since, probably 2 weeks ago or so. I wrote

support and as usual, I got a reply from someone who did not

understand the complaint and gave me an incoherent reply.

 

You took the wind clean out of my sails...

 

Look at my usage, look at the $ I was spending, that has all stopped now.

I feel like I have been ripped off.

[shaftzoom 0]

i had a certain amount of lag in one mach. i was in sandbox, playing with hornet rail combo and every-time a specific thunder shot at me, my screen went purple for a split second

 Wait one more day, you'll see it in the garage. Just pay attention to the "expiration dates" on these kits.

[ArsenicFive6191 0]

People keep saying that the lags mainly happen on the servers RU1 and RU2, but I have experienced the same types of lags on EN5-EN7.

 

Example:

I am playing, no lag, then I respawn, it takes points away, I have a worse K/D ratio, and everything/one starts lagging. Hulls just move about, and the turrets keep spinning around and around. I have lost so many crystals, and my K/D has gone down, even worse than when I started.

 

I do not mean to be mean, but it seems like they creators of this game, even though they say otherwise, are not doing anything about this. low-level guys one-shoot me without power-ups, even though I have full health. I started playing less since the beginning of the last month, because of these lags (maybe hacks).

 

It would be cool, if the creators of this game, could send out a virus or something that could pick out the hackers to turn the hacks against themselves.

 

I really hope that they actually will do something about this. This is a fun game, but if the lags just take the fun away.

 

I have limited game time per day (half an hour), and when I do really good, but a lag happens, I lose all of my time. And I do not get refunds for the lost crystals from the game or game time from my parents. It may be my Laptop, but I seriously doubt that, everything works fine, except tankionline.com

 

I can do without any more updates, but please fix this. I really hate wasting my time for nothing.

lag have to be fixed in Ru 1 When i enter a match ping 999 , in EN2 when i enter ping 58 so the problem is in Ru1
