fix the lag

Kevin · 2022-01-05 14:52:34

unplayable since december 1st. what lag? ping spikes to 1-2k every 5-10 min. when this happens you can't either move or get con problems which means you die on the spot. it seems it happens to 10-15% of people playing at a given time. mostly affected seem the guys from the americas. when it happens everyone lags at the same time, so you know its the server and not the players. if you don't know what im talking about ask lecter.

Thanks

Lecter · 2022-01-05 16:12:29

They think I am lying...its just totally unplayable now, spikes go to 400 ping sometimes, its a bit crazy...I hope the server is reset or changes location asap. I dont think anything can be done now...

It's hard being a fighterpilot with reading-glasses , but I thought I felt a difference focusing in between half a second. Dutch ping here.

I did Abas, VPN, but still its not good, well the ping spikes are over with it but still very hard to move. But thanks

I get bad lag, spikes in ping and 'connection problems detected' frequently.
It's helpful to open CMD and run tracert/traceroute aimed at the server ip: tracert [options] <hostname or IP>
Let it run for a few minutes.
This will show you all the hops your packets take, how many ms each and which hops have packet loss. It's then easy to identify which node is the bottleneck, not that you can do much about it.

SloMo · 2022-02-04 16:51:47

Treacert is fine if you want to blame others for your problem, and if you want to run it for 5-10 minutes and see if something unusually laggy reacurringly happens on the internet then fine, but 5 to 10 minute intervals indicates your system is up to something. I'd have a disable party in your startup tab, check your 'Run' and 'Run Once' in your Registry, and take a long look into your Scheduler to see what backsup, saves, updates, or scans every 5 to 10 minutes.
Get a Diagnostic Boot Stick and Virus Scan Everything, All Files. Clean the Registry. Consider backing up your data and doing a Complete from the Format up Re-Build if your Hard Drive.
Revive one of your older computers and play on that and see if the same problem exists. if the game still lags every 5 to 10 minutes, then call your internet provider and raise hell till they give you a new updated Router and outside wiring.

The problem on Simple servers isn't confined to 1 person. The excessive lag and freezing is experienced by multiple people in multiple locations. It's been happening since at least early December. The affected users are mostly USA and Canada, but there is at least one player in Turkey experiencing the same lag. In fact, Prix (in Turkey) will be hit by the freezing and lag at exactly the same time as it hits me. None of these people are using the same Internet service. Something changed back in December or earlier and not at any of the affected locations.

I had it also, ... up to more then 700 Ping Spikes, but since some weeks it's better for me.

Mine Never Lags, and I'm in Detroit Michigan (you know, the City who's Mayor needed a Presidential Pardon to get out of jail).
i only have this Game, RA2, Pokerstars, and Norton Premium loaded.
I still suggest looking into your Scheduler to see what backs up, saves, updates, or scans,
like Apple, A\V, Phone, music, Social Medias, Bloatware, etc...
schtasks command-line utility, Task Scheduler Summary or try Task Scheduler, Actions, Enable All Tasks History for a little while (eats up a lot of disk space quickly though).
Has anyone contacted the Server Host to inform them of this problem?
A rebuild is still suggested which also greatly speeds up a Computer too.

ABAS · 2022-02-09 20:10:44

Majority of US players seems have smooth play, its probably becasuse of wierd settings in server machine

I'm 50 miles away from Detroit and my lag is terrible.

wifi kills gaming. swap back to wire and see the difference. theres an android app that shows ur surrounding wifi wise.

Cicero_01 · 2022-02-19 17:23:04

The lag is there wired (as I am) or Wi-Fi

ATF_Jagman · 2022-02-21 14:17:21

From Vancouver Canada, almost unplayable now. Lag/jitter/connection lost.

Ironfart · 2022-04-19 22:07:57

Yeah same problem.
Mostly playable but liable to become intermittent every so often. No pattern. Sometimes better or worse.
Works fine with proxy. No problems ever but slight lag from encription processes.

Proxy alone without vpn might be better. Hope this is helpful to some.

Have got some classic footage of highly annoying gameplay. May put on youtube, ill let you know.
Interesting why those that it doesn't affect turn a blind eye to an obvious issue even showing sceptism.
( purtende martar!)... Very funny. All is fair in love and war I guess!
Happy camping all.

Hello, como te chamas?

Im from Lisbon too, its crazy here. Which provider are you using? I use NOS.

Ironfart · 2022-04-30 13:16:23

Having followed various peoples advice have done two tracert runs.

The first is without proxy...
Gets to netherlands quickly then stalls at server Noted below.

The second is with proxy...
Gets a little further but still stalls at same server.
I would say that the server after that is causing the problems but it doesnt identify itself!
Multiple attempts have never reached 194.88.105.25.
I am no expert but a covert router/server seems to be impeding the trace.
Any ideas out there?
To be absolutely clear my trace gets to Netherlands almost instantly but when there the problems occur.
Im really at the end of my tether concerning this issue.
Tnx for listening.

Try a different OS

Ironfart · 2022-04-30 14:05:52

Tnx for the suggestion.
As the problem is solely confined to simple servers ie other servers are fine.
Even the US server I get a smooth non laggy gaming experience albeit with an 80 ping instead of 8 I would have to say my OS is not the problem.
Ping is not everything. Windows 10 is fine.
To prove this have done a trace to US below

Zody · 2022-04-30 16:21:45

Thing is with win 10 I lag on simple when there is a lot of players online, with a different OS I dont. Why this is the case with simple is prolly because no other server gets more than 64 players. You should try it, and win 10 is absolutely not fine with this game

Ironfart · 2022-04-30 16:51:09

Tnx again.
I will consider your solution as a last resort. Which OS would you recommend?
However until the Netherlands router that halts the tracert request is understood I dont see the point.
Simple Tanks is max 24 server and is the worst offender.
No probs with US server (large). So your reasoning doesnt really apply.
All servers lag more when at capacity?
Windows 10 is not great I agree.
Ironfart

Zody · 2022-04-30 17:28:24

Any other OS really. prolly XP is best but linux distros work aswell. on linux getting the game to run properly can be tricky though.

Cicero_01 · 2022-04-30 18:13:10

By the way, you can extend the number of hops that Tracert will track. Adding (space)-m100 after the tracert command will increase the number of hops to 100, for instance. I haven't tried that with more than 50 hops, however...
