List of software I constantly face

[Gabe2607 215]

- keyboard keys getting stuck. No, it is not hardware. At a certain point the hull refuses to go to a direction (let's say left), till pushing the opposite key (right). Same thing with up and down and for all 4 directions. This since a long time.

- long Pro Battles cause the internet adapter to crash. 

- when a flying hull enters the game, a major lag wave arrives.

- getting several flashing "pick an app" windows on the bottom of the screen. "get an app to open this MS-something link", while the game is regularly ON.

- the biggest of all is the delay between what I see and what already happened. The famous getting killed when already behind the wall. Sometimes my tank explodes and only after I see the incoming shot.

- My fully-upgraded Hunter OD is ridiculous. A very small range and a very small damage compared to a wasp OD. Others do not seem to have this problem and I have no clue. Also, because of the lag/delay explained before, very often it does not have time to work, as someone not visible before, already killed me.

- My fully-upgraded Railgun is ridiculous. Lots of clear shots are missed. Vertical aim is hardly existent, not sure if this is because of the Hunter/Dictator hulls (I do not have others to try). Other players do not seem to have this problem. No clue. I do not think I am missing the shot because of the lag/delay because enemy tank is still there afterwards. 

Now the Topic will be moved into the Section "who gives a damn" with the request "provide one of those videos that none will look at".

It's not a case of nobody giving a damn, but more so that you're not providing enough detail for the issues. How is anyone meant to understand the problem you're facing when you didn't even mention which OS and device you're using?

Anyhow, here are the possible solutions to your issues:
1. Sounds like key ghosting or sticky keys, so probably a hardware issue. Check and disable Windows Sticky/Filter Keys or try a proper N‑key rollover keyboard. Maybe update or reinstall your keyboard driver.
2. Get the latest network‑card driver from the vendor. Turn off “allow the computer to turn off this device” in Power Management. Disable Jumbo Frames, Checksum/Large Send Offload in adapter settings.
3. I'm skeptical of how you concluded that the problem is flying hulls, because all hulls have a similar level of detail in their HD models. Either way, you could reduce your graphics settings, update your GPU driver or close any GPU-heavy background apps.
4. Tanki Online occasionally fires an ms‑ protocol (e.g. ms-settings: or ms-gamebar:) without a default handler. In Settings → Apps → Default apps by protocol, bind the “ms‑” protocols to something sensible.
5. That's just high ping. Get better internet.
6. Skill issue.
7. Definitely skill issue.

When I use overdrives on Hunter and Mammoth quite a few times the tank just goes off on one. It heads in one direction and will not correct itself no matter what keys I press to try and correct it. It seems to sort itself out if I refresh, but the overdrive has been wasted.

This has been happening for a very long time now. It's sporadic but continues to happen.

The gauss issue of self destructing and dealing no damage after respawn also still persists.

This has nothing to do with hardware and is definitely not a skill issue.

You know, what many don't realize, is that this is not purely the game's fault. If you host game servers for example in the center of Europe, and allow people to connect to those from I don't know, North and South America, eastern Asia - it is physically impossible for the data of those players to travel to the servers fast enough for them to have a low ping, which results in you getting hit behind cover (in your POV, not theirs) by them. No matter how good or bad servers are, this is not only happening to you, it's happening to everyone, in every game. When you shoot people you also hit them while they're behind cover by the way, just the way they hit you as well. Solutions to this are either regional servers, for example some servers in America, some in Europe etc., or an actual technological breakthrough, that makes data travel faster.

And regarding the video thing, if you tell me your Railgun doesn't have vertical auto-aim, I simply cannot believe it, because my Railgun does have vertical auto-aim. So without evidence (a video) of this happening for you, everyone will tend to tell you it's a skill issue.

Especially nowadays: if you have an Nvidia desktop GPU that has been released within the last 12 years, you can record a clip anywhere from 15 seconds to 1 minute by just pressing two keys on your keyboard, upload it to YouTube without any editing, and post it here on the forum. All of this takes you less than 5 minutes, you guys are just lazy.

Nice effort, thanks. One day I will make a Topic on this Forum that does not allow to copy/paste, insert videos without having to use other programs, unable to return back one page, etc. Anyway:

- "get better internet": 100 Mbps regular flow.

- skill issue on the range and power of the Hunter OD? You mean I cannot see or read how many enemy tanks blow up (or better - do not blow up)? 

- skill issue on the railgun? I am certainly not the best player on this turret yet, even if I have been using it for a couple of months already. I see enemy wasps doing the "bouncing" back and for to get a wider vertical range (my Hunter and Dictator are not that good for that "bouncing"). I also see them able to "delay" the ready shot, no idea how. I also see them catching me when a micromillisecond before they were looking elsewhere. Is auto-aim on mobile phones much faster and better of what is officially declared? I do not know. The fact is that sometimes an enemy tank is not moving at all, I have an easy shot just straight in line and it is missed even twice in a row.  Next time I will need to check if the miss is always on one side (left or right) so maybe I can learn to work with the problem. 

- how you concluded they are flying hulls... I get lag and 2/3 seconds later I see someone got a flying hull into the game. Not that difficult.

- I removed all sticky keys functions. Problem still the same and unique to Tanki Online.

- "ms-gamingoverlay" link is what keeps showing up. 

- today twice in the same MM battle my turret stopped making damage. The second time cost us the win.

Just now a Juggernaut railgun shot me vertically down. I was one floor directly below him, he was pretty much horizontal and he killed me.

This software keeps surprising.

I have the same issue.

Switched out keyboard twice.

Same problem.

 

Not a hardware issue.
