Is Tanki ever going to address frame rate lag?

[badmonkey69 12]

Seems like Tanki is the only online game where lag or poor internet is a benefit.  So much so they actually have a lag hack to create it. 

 

The game is becoming a joke as you duck behind a wall only to die anyways from the mysterious rail who can shoot through walls or you lineup on a tank only to find out it jumped the other direction in a instant.  The ping and fps stay as low as possible but tanks still jump around like magic and mysterious shots take you out without any sign.

What you seem to be describing is lag on your end, contradicting your title. Trust me, I've experienced the "mysterious Railgun who can shoot through walls" thousands of times, it's lag on your end, and distance from the servers. The other player has a medium-low Ping whilst you have a higher Ping. What is your average Ping?

Ping is measure of latency (lag) from your computer to the server and back to your computer. 

Ping also depends on the distance between the server host and player, More the distance more the ping.

The lower the ping, the less lag u experience. The higher the ping, u will experience alot of lag or the game may disconnect u from the server.

 

Example I live in Australia, the ping i usual get are 120 - 200. Due the the data/info been transfer back and forth to the main servers in Russia from a far distance

Not necessarily. I have a very low average ping (<20) and I remember seeing the problem in an XP game against someone with 300-400 ping.

 

And to the author of this topic, low FPS is a problem on your end, and should give you no benefit when it comes to playing.

 

Would it be reasonable to suggest renaming the topic to "ping lag/hacks" instead of "FPS lag"?

This is the same response as someone telling you to reboot if you have a computer issue!  Doesn't help or solve the issue just lets its fester and get worse. 

 

I run a fiber 1GB connection and assure you the lag is not on my end as most companies aren't lucky enough to have the speed i have access too.   I actually purposely slowed my speed down only to learn it is easier to play with crappy speed and i cant understand why tanki developers allow it.  This never use to be a problem until the big update with the battle button.  If your ping and fps are bad for fixed amount of time you should be kicked from the server its actually very easy to program this rule set in and most online games do.  

 

Sadly it seems they are just interested in updates that force more crystal use (or money) and don't give a damn about performance or a solid gaming experience.  There are so many crazy bugs like the vulcan overheating glitch that they don't seem care about and many they should be embarrassed exist.  Instead of fixing things the change maps and add new bugs.

 

If your a buyer its a actually crazy expensive IMO for them to expect $30-100 for a flash game thats riddled with glitches.

Lol half of all the players in TO would be kicked.

As I said, low FPS is on your end, and shouldn't affect gameplay.

Maybe some day they will..
