Tanki so slow to change servers

[welsh_the_best 26]

Tanki..why do you get so slow to change servers? i makes joining games so difficult.  lagging within games or me is much better recently, but changing servers or even observing which players are playing is becoming unacceptably slow. Speed things up please.

This article could be useful for you to reduce your lags.

However, do keep in mind that the lag is not always (only) on your end. During weekends, and especially during special events (like the Iron Days), lags occur much more often. The most popular servers become a little overloaded, which results in longer load times for example.

You can try playing from one of the less crowded servers, it should certainly improve the situation a bit.

Yea, they need to upgrade the servers to handle more people (but keep the current cap) because if they have more allocated resources for a server it isn't running so hard. I still swear up and down they got a memory leak on the servers. 

 

Memory leaks are when they use more resources than they need. 

 

They can happen on the server end or user end. 

 

And cause lag. 

 

Even outside these events the lag seems to be as real as it gets. Sometimes I just have to leave because its so bad i can't play. 

 

And I know it isn't just me when half my team and the other team gets the same thing at the same time. 

 

I think since the game engine was made a few years before the game, like hazel mentioned it has something to do with it. but I am uncertain. 

 

It could be such a thing its so old that it isn't compatible with current flash, and is unstable. (theory) Sometimes even if a framework is suppose to be compatible with older code, it can be buggy. In this case causing lag. 

 

We should see the HTML5 switch over the next 1-3 years. (Prediction) 

 

He said it would be a seamless transfer so we shall see...So many features we are missing out still using flash.

But if the problem is more people, why is this problem getting huge NOW and not before when we had a lot more players online?

That's a good question, and I think it might have something to do with at which rate updates have been coming out back then and now.

At least, that's what I got from the livestream with Hazel and Cedric.

Could be :( at one point a few months ago hazel said something in the forum that it was possible that the servers were being DDOSed but can't be that now cos the issues are still here :/ ahhh.. wish they'd invest a bit more time into fixed all this stuff tho :( I know it's easier said than done tho :/ I feel like the clan system made the situation way worse tho :x

Well, another thing I got from the livestream was that they will be working on fixing minor issues more, so yeah it would be great to see all these minor annoyances eliminated.
