I seriously consider quitting the game because of micro-lag

[Babykim]

Shame on your WG for this lousy patch. Your attempts to balance the game are worthless if you can't provide for adequate optimization on a high-end rig such as mine. You are promising realistic weather? That will give it the rest.

[Agantas]

I've noticed the lag problem too. This really shouldn't happen in a game like this.

Shame on your WG for this lousy patch. Your attempts to balance the game are worthless if you can't provide normal optimization, and I have a high-end rig. You are promising realistic weather? That will give it the rest.

 

Yep same problem as me, it gets particularly bad after they patch. Not sure if its bad netcoding or overtasked servers but whatever it is they have a problem.

[Babykim]

 

I just hope this has to do with many folks downloading the update and thus overloading the server, and not, for example, because some mod control software is running in the background. The CPU loads are atrocious too.

 

Many people in game appear to be irritated, probably because they can't hit anything. They just go and suicide brainlessly, or start flaming in chat.

ba bay see ya

Had zero lag before the patch - I'm on fibre optic broadband - but now since the update I get microlag all the time, every single game there are stutters in the gameplay. I play vanilla only and never installed a mod for the game - terrible patch in terms of the smoothness of gameplay.

[MrFingers]

It's indeed lagging for me as well , before this patch, I had no issues.

Not ONE of you has posted any evidence to back up your claims.

How can you even prove this, you come here with hearsay and circumstantial "evidence"

 

Your best bet is to get pingplotter, trace to "login.worldofwarships.eu" (without quotation marks) and that will show you where any issues are.

Even in port on mine there is a very noticable delay when clicking on things.... and the black screen with white background that happens the first time you fire up the game is 'odd' too, seems you have to fire woWs up BEFORE anything else, no browser having run, no TS etc etc... 2nd time in it works then gets freeze at login..... have to reboot on that one as do ctrl/alt/delete, and you cant see task manager...... something very very broken with the patch... again !!

Please do me a favour mate and lay it to rest, I'm not an idiot that needs to prove anything to you. I've been around here a long time and all I was offering was my experience after the patch - and the fact in my experience has been a lot of lag in the game since the patch - this is not observational bias either - I had no lag at all prior to a few days ago and every other MMO I play now is perfectly fine, yet in almost every game in WoWS as from a few days ago I get lag. It's a fresh install, no mods and when I ran various tests last night (since I'm not an imbecile) it's not my connection, nor a problem with any of the routing through the UK.

 

I've used pingplotter loads back in my WoT days when many were experiencing lag and much of the time it pointed to WG's servers. The game does not run as smoothly for me as it did prior to the patch, nowhere near in fact and it was so obvious I took notice. I played a fair few games yesterday and noticed too how many other players were complaining of lag in game - after I had experienced it myself so I wasn't looking for patterns either.

 

Lastly, try exercising a little tact next time and perhaps the response won't be as harsh. This wasn't a post requested technical feedback was it? The OP mentioned he was experiencing lag and I reported a similar experience so please bugger off with your self-righteous sanctimonious BS. Seems you're happy being an [edited]

Yes, the black screen with the white background - I get this too and have to do exactly the same. But be careful of TheLordFlash - he has some newly discovered knowledge in his head and has decided to show everyone he knows something, even to some of us who have been around long before his appearance.

[txtspeak]

just had a full salvo of torps pass through an Iowa. get your sh*t sorted WG. this shouldnt happen.

(as in this is clearly caused by lag)

[delaci76]

Yeah this micro lag or hitching/stutter has been around since day 1. It happens on wot from time to time.

 

Sad to say OP it's engine optimisation. Happens on other games as well. So far it's bearable but it is annoying...

 

Been a member of guru3d.com for yrs so we all know this problem exists...up to the devs to work on the issue themselves or work closer with amd/nvidia. I suspect it's cpu related rather than graphics based.

 

Another classic example are total wars which has a notoriously unoptimised engine.

 

p.s and while am here FIX THE AWFULL AA ON THE SHIPS RIGGING WG! REALLY X MONTHS IN THIS CANT BE DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

 

p.p.s the lordflash is clearly clueless(ignore).

 

Oh and I always recommend using a clean sweep with a driver cleaning prog in safe mode and a custom install of drivers.

Same.

[Namolis]

Have the same problem, but to varying degree. Sometimes it's nothing, sometimes it makes the game almost unplayable. I didn't really notice this happen at all until the patch that dropped around new year, but it's been a pretty constant dog in the manger since then.

[loppantorkel]

Haven't noticed any lag. Maybe I'm getting old.

[Rilohn]

Also getting the same since the patch.

[txtspeak]

yes, you are old

[Methoxy7]

i have 200/20 mbit broadband connection ping is around 28/36ms and i also experience micro stutter lag.

[BadGene616]

Which av are you guys using?

Post patch something might have changed to upset that?

[Venatacia]

Not only micro freezes but sometimes huge freezes. So bad that enemy are near me and I don't see them, shots come in and I'm like - what, where did that come from. Torpedoes come out from a few meters in front of my DD moving at full speed. Press to turn left or right and nothing happens for 5/6 seconds then a massive jump - rinse and repeat. It's awful and unplayable when it gets that bad.

 

Edit: Today 22/02/16 I entered a battle, my ship moved forward but I was unable to do anything other than that. Couldn't fire my guns, couldn't look around on the screen with my mouse and my platoon mate said I hadn't even moved of the start. CTRL/ALT/DEL revealed WoW was not responding. Think I will leave this game alone until they fix that last broken patch.

[Flukeyluke]

hate how when mid turn you can see your ship jerking instead of turning smoothly as the server updates your position....the server lag and 4K are not a good combo

 

[Namolis]

Server lag and BB play is not a good combo either. Hate it when I press the button and nothing happens and when it comes back the shots end up where I wanted them 2 seconds ago (and now the ship has moved)

 

[Micromagos]

I'm still seeing shots hit that are close to a whole ship length in front of the bow of ships day after day since this latest patch.
