Issues with lag

[N221 597]

The amount of lags me and other people are facing is unbearable, I click friend list and about 2 minutes into a game it finally comes up, which messes up my d/l and also causes my rating to go lower.

Lags are a known issue and developers are constantly working to improve it.

 

As for your specific issue - the more friends you have, the longer your friends window will take to load. Anywhere over 200 friends causesn significant lag when you load the friends window, and not just for you - everyone on the server/battle wil be lagging too.

 

Try to delete some of your friends and only leave those you really know and often play with. This should reduce the amount of lag.

Haven't they been working on it, for like, 1 year now?

No, they've been working on it since the beginning. They always look for ways to improve the situation with lags and optimise the game. The update that made drop zones always visible is an examle of such progress.

 

In an online game there is no single solution to lag, and neither is it a thing that's possible to completely eradicate. Also, most of the time the cause of lag is on the player's side, e.g. they live far away from the servers. That can't be fixed with an update.

Some days are indeed worse than others with no specific reason. Deleting friends doesn't help.

Are you sure you deleted enough friends? Try deleting all of them! :ph34r:

But why is it that wth every update the lag gets worse?

Tanki gets a lot of money from players, why can't they use it in a productive way?

That's arguable. Personally I didn't notice any significant increase of lag over the past few years. On the contrary, a lot of glitches were fixed and loading time significantly reduced. So I think that overall there was definitely imprvement.

 

Besides, let's not forget about all the stuff devs added to the game over the years and it still works as good as before.

I agree. My lags have not increased or decreased over the years, except for RU1 unfortunately.

Anywhere over 200 friends you say? Well, that will not fix the problem as i currently have less than 100 friends at the moment

In that case it may be an issue with the game. After all, they did introduce the clans system very recently (which included changes to the friends window) and there are bound to be technical issues. Please be patient and wait for them to be fixed.

The beginning of never? You'd think it wouldn't take 8 years nearly to reduce lag a little .-.

 

Nothing against you, Mafi. You're cool!

Like I said in my previous post above, they added a ton of new features, which inevitably induce lag. So to reduce the lag they optimised the game. So as a result we now have a game that is far better and more interesting compared to 2008-2010 tanki, yet the amount of  lag is at least on the same level, or better.

Like when Striker first came out...the game was a little laggy for a while...now the new Artillery turret (which I bet most of us by now prefer it be named Artillery) will make some lags.

 

I might buy this gun for the ability to fire behind you in a sense when fleeing from an enemy on your tail. Aim up fully, give a low velocity shot and it will land on your attacker or nearby where splash will damage them.

the lag problem is with tanki...the servers are just not up to it i have a colonel account 2 friends,no matter what map i go on are what server i play on i lag seriously. it is pointless playing this game it also is ruining my k/d on both accounts.admin are whoever is in charge of this whole operation need to sort this out . i have looked up the problems with lag in great detail and it all points to 1 thing,,, the provider of this game. your servers to actually play tanki can not cope with the amount of players using it. i have spent a lot of time effort and money on this game if you cant resolve the problem with lag i would appreciate all my money back and i will provide you with every penny i have spent on this game which is no longer  enjoyable due to the serious lag affecting me on every server i try. i used to enjoy the game but now whats to enjoy. 

[TARGET-X-ACQUIRED 23]

omg i just read all of the complaints the mod is right on 1thing only the distance from the provider ....russia. im uk so i suffer on that point. but its still admins problem stop giving us new updates new guns etc etc we dont care about them.we care about the gaming experience which for a lot of players is now so bad we cant even move when we do eventually get on the map. GET RID OF THE LAG ITS YOUR PROBLEM SO FIX IT. if not then eventually players will just not bother......forget updates put everything you have into solving this problem

Once again tanki ru1 seems to lag everyday now

[Spoon 1,030]

Why doesnt ANYONE understand, We have english servers to stay on, not to go on russian servers, If people that do not go on line in russia go on the russia servers, it will increase lag, but if EN people stay on EN servers, it will reduce lag.

First, hardly anyone knows what xp/bp is in EN servers, and if they do know they would not even be half decent at it. Secondly most people in RU servers are english as you can clearly tell when they are speaking fluent english (only a few people may be russian with fluent english), so if all En people moved to EN them im pretty sure with the overload of players in EN already, That server would become WAY laggier than RU has ever been.
