[NSAF] LowSpeedHighDrag Players 484 posts 16,909 battles Report post #1 Posted March 27, 2019 As the title suggests. I have been experiencing an unusual activity of lag spikes throughout the games. This started about an hour ago. I have done my due diligence and try to figure out whether it was on my end. After all the trouble shooting on my end (client side), it made me realise that the server is actually the culprit. During the games, I have also asked other players. They too agreed that they have been experiencing the same issues as I have been. For the record, the ping would fluctuate from 30ms~140ms. Making it nearly impossible to play. Ships showing as stopped when they are moving, the input lag that comes with it as well. i.e. mouse clicks, taking a full second or two to register. If anyone else is having such issues. Please reply below. So that the WG staff can take notice of it. Hope you all have a good battle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-SBG-] ColonelPete Players 38,559 posts 19,178 battles Report post #3 Posted March 27, 2019 Have the same problem while having difficulties loading the Arsenal and the forum. When using a different connection, problems were gone. My clanmates did not have any trouble at all. My guess is the connection between some ISP and the WoWs server is unstable. Therefore it might not be the WoWs server itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing to do in that case is to wait. I will let you know if there is anything you or we can do. Edited March 27, 2019 by Sehales Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NSAF] LowSpeedHighDrag Players 484 posts 16,909 battles Report post #5 Posted March 27, 2019 I don't believe that there is only 1 server for the whole of EU region. Therefore, where you are connecting from; which server you are connected to. Are two very different things. I think there may be particular server that is causing an issue, or there is some backend work that we are not aware of yet.

[PFFC] MRGTB [PFFC] Players 1,285 posts Report post #9 Posted March 27, 2019 I have played some games and seen the Fire started reward pop up before my He shells even hit the enemy ship. Pretty funny, and that has happened a number of times now. I come from UK and use one of the best ISP (Virgin Media) with a high speed broadband connection. My ping shows as 23ms in-game and remains that way, it never fluctuates higher, But still everything feels really laggy Too many people have complained about lag and the game seemingly running really slow, or you get sudden freezes and then jumps forward. All this started ever since you did this CV rework. I now have to play the game on very low graphic setting, but before I played it on low setting all the time with no problems. Now I get far worse laggy gameplay on very low setting than I did before on the higher Low setting with graphics. The game runs like a laggy bag of shite now.

[PFFC] MRGTB [PFFC] Players 1,285 posts Report post #12 Posted March 27, 2019 Ironically, you'll find the game runs far better if you go in COOP with no CV in matches and with less players. Try COOP with no CV on your team, and then go back to Random games with more players and CV in the match and see the difference in lag 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[NSAF] LowSpeedHighDrag Players 484 posts 16,909 battles Report post #13 Posted March 27, 2019 Can reconfirm. At the time of this post. The problem is still ongoing. Wargaming, let's get this sorted please. EDIT: I will test the NA server too while I'm at it. Since I can't play at all in Randoms with current "related to the routing of certain ISPs".

But lets look at the facts since you did this CV updates. Server crashes numerous times ever since because it gets overloaded. People only now complaining about the laggy game-play ever since this CV rework. The problem lies on WG server end because of these new CV and whatever else changes they made since, if you ask me. Why don't you run a test for a few days and roll the server back to before these CV changes was made. See if people still get the same laggy game-play before you started making all these changes to the game with CV, put it back to the old CV way for a test and see if it makes a difference? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[HNFC] NicramDuel Players 282 posts 24,890 battles Report post #25 Posted March 28, 2019 Sadly, quite a few of us. 200 players who have been thrown from the server have reconnected within the minute. This is the third time it has happened this night - twice in battle, once just in queue. This last one hit particularly hard: less than a minute away from a 5-star run on KW, and of course, camo/flags wasted this time again. When the potatoes are absent, the server'll seem to work out a fine loss for us. Looking forward to any possible refunds/compensations. Spoiler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
