My client is lagging behind the server. WTH is this?

[BoskoSLO]

Hi everyone!

 

Few days ago a mysterious lag came to my WOWs client. The lag is so bad that I can't score a single hit in the entire battle. When the battle starts my client is already lagging 5seconds behind everybody and as the battle goes on the lag  intestifies, so after 10min my client is lagging up to 30 second behind everybody.

-half the battle my screen is tilted sideways.

-my ship is drifting left and right

-every ship is offset by few seconds.

-torpedoes are launched in random directions

-sometimes i can't fire any of my guns or torpedoes or use any consumable

-it can take up to 30seconds for the game to realize I pressed the A or D key

-the only thing that works without lag is the chat itself

-the lag stops after 10mins of gameplay

-the ping / fps and the lag indicator are perfect (same in wot)

 

You may ask yourself. what do I mean my client is lagging behind? Well see it for yourself.

 

 

 

I have no idea what's happening. World of tanks in the other hand works just fine without this crap lag.

Anyone else here with the same problem? And no it's not my internet connection. I tryed with mobile internet and it does the same.

[BoskoSLO]

none of you got this problem?

Follow the article and make a ticket at support with the pingplotter file, your python.log and a dxdiag output.

Thx for answer but pingplotter doesn't help at all. It shows that nothing is wrong with my connection to WOWs server.

I looked up for some examples how the ping plotter graph should look like when there is a connection problem. well this is far from a problem.

anyway. will send this to support but I doubt they will solve anything.

I suffered some of those symptoms (rudder responding with lots of delay, guns not firing when I pressed the mouse button), but very seldom and in a random manner, and I always thought it was the game servers playing tricks on me.

 

Since it never lasted long, I never worried. Your case seems severe though.

[Slo_Mo_Shun]

Something has definitely changed of late. I have suffered off and on with lags and disconnects over several months but this last week (approx) when reconnecting rather than the ship just sitting dead in the water it starts up guns blazing all over the place. I reckon its carrying out the last key presses. Not good, so not only will I get disconnection deaths but eventually possibly a tk.

What you're reporting is a client server desync, pingplotter should show a spike from where this started. Either way, reports about lag should always include what I mentioned and be made to support. Forum usually can not really help ( but also can't hurt ).

I started pingPlotting few seconds before I launched WoWs launcher and played a quick battle. I think there is a corrupted file but integrity check never worked in any of WG launchers.

edit:

there was once a case when the ping indicator top left went full nuts.

 

 

[Coenraad]

Last night the server had issues, weird MM numbers and long cues as well as server lag. Both me in Norway and my mate in Germany had this. Normaly the game runs smooth.

I expect it is the same as in WoT, when WG is testing a new patch the live server suffers. I think this is the same.

[nausmeister_]

I never had those problems, they started 2 days ago. I also send in a PingPlotter, but forgot the python.log and the dxdiag... Will add those when i am home

Do you have any additional programs running by any chance? Processes running in background eating bandwith?

And, one of the devs already stated that at this current stage of this game, any overclocking software, such as MSI Afterburner, AMD Overdrive, SysTool, ClockGen, TriXX Tweak Utility etc etc cause problems. If you have any of these running, try disabling (also disable from autostart) and try without.

 

EDIT: And wow, that tilted screen looks really strange ;D

[Broevaharo]

What you could try is to delete your preference XML (or just rename it), you ofcourse then have to do all your settings again but it helped for a buddy of mine.

[BrusilovX]

I've had on several occasions where the guns don't fire for a short while when I press the mouse button but never anything like what the OP has posted.

I never used any of the overclocking software. my PC is in default state. And there is 0 programs running in the background that could effect the game. I got WOWs in my firewall as trusted (actually I never had any problems regarding firewall in any game anyway). I may have to redownload the game and see if it helps.

edit:

Maybe it's the same old issue I had with many of my games where the game has WAY too many connections and DDoS my router. I will do a quick check.

[BoskoSLO]

I found something weird. It looks like WoWs wants to DDoS my router. check this:

 

 

 

 

The weird thing is the DDoS attack doesn't effect my internet performance. While in-battle I can watch youtube HD videos without problems.

If you opened a ticket I would advice you to attach your router log.

If this is the case than there is no point in opening a ticket. I have already  contacted support for other games I had this issue. (garrys mod, rust, war thunder, ...) and they gave me temp solutions by limiting the number of connections but it works for only few minutes and baaaam the lag is back. Garrys mod and rust even crashed the router.

There is one way to solve the issue. By buying a new router. I may as well do it since this one already caused lots of problems.

 

Thx for trying helping me

I ask you to do this nevertheless. You never know what WG could find out and would do you no harm now would it?

SAME HERE. multiple times now i been killed cause my torps wont release on time in close combat. and in my myogi binocular view im following a target and i shoot suddenly the view moves backwar or foreward totally out of the range when im firing..

 

This has only happend in the last few days.. since the patch and gamescom.

you cant tell me it my gear or my isp's fault.

I've been playing almost every day since i joined up in cbt, never have i experience such unplayability every few hours. often times everything is ok. once or twice a day for me

Same thing for me.  What happens in my case is I'll be motering along then every ship just stops.  My FPS and ping values don't change.  Torps that were moving still move, shots fired still travel to wherever, I can hear shots landing on various ships but no ship is moving.  After about a minute of this all the ships will rubberband (myself included) to where the server has them.  Then everything will return to normal until it happens again, usually 2 times per game.  The same thing continues to happen even in spectator mode.  This all started after the patch.  It's some serious desynch, but just with the ships positions.  The game is basically unplayable at this point.

 

I've tried turning graphics down to low, but not sure what else I should try.  I don't believe it has anything to do with my connection as WoT plays fine.  Again, this all seemed to start after the last patch.

Dont bother with pingplotter. It doesnt show crap... I have same problems and pingploter shows 70 max ping and no packet loss.

 

The game is not finished. Thats the only problem right now. remember that it is open beta. They release unplayable version of the game and enable you to pay for testing it by buying doublons and premium ships. Something like early acces. Dont expect much.

 

Also dont bother sending reports to WG. With the number of threads about this problem they are either completely blind, or just dont care. Personaly I would like to believe its the former.

If you got nothing sensible to say, why bother posting?
