What I get now is a laggy, slow, teleporting mess. Weapons fire most of the time, sometimes the secondary does not. Due to the seemingly random lag spikes it is also very hard to determine when to detonate a secondary. Half the time its fine, half the time it descends into an unplayable slideshow. Having asked around in game, some people are experiencing the same whereas it is fine for the rest. My computer specs are

 

5820k @ 4.5

16 GB DDR4

2x 980

Samsung 840 SSD which Hawken is on.

 

My internet connection is 160 down 20 up and scores an A+ on pingtest which measures packet loss, jitter etc. Essentially line quality as opposed to speed. I have also tried with one GPU and with SLI on and it makes no difference. IS there anything I can do to fix this? Are there plans for any other servers? Any help would be most gratefully received.

 

Jonny

You have to differ between FPS and PING lags.

 

You seem to have ping lags whic his not connected to your rig.

 

Even if you have a 100k internet connection, you can still suffer from high ping (lags) by connecting to the wrong region.

 

I don't know where are you from, but don't connect to USA servers if you live in the EU. You can select your region by clicking on the currently selected region in the top right corner of the server list and select your closest location.

Thanks for your reply. I am in UK and I always connect to the EU region, it says my ping in game is around 40 but I am still getting this problem which doesn't make sense to me but that's why I am asking you guys for help.

Question, did you have the same problem with i3d servers or only UK ones, before the I3d got removed?

 

 

There is a difference between overall ping and package loss. Ping is the speed at which you can send/recieve signals (for example 40 ping = 40 milisec between your PC sending info and PC recieving info from the server.) Package loss is when some if this info gets lost, usually because high ping or the corruption of data. Thing is, ping doesn't have to be high for data to be corrupted or lost. 

 

I'd say talk with your internet provider, it might be a problem with your connection or router. I had the same problem a few weeks ago and it was a router problem. Had 40 ping but was teleporting and rubberbanding tike a mofo.

Op is referring to Europe servers (i3D) but i don't get it because based on what i keep hearing & my own experience those servers seem to be the only ones with any kind of problems like crashes, disconnects and such, The UK based ones work fine, at least for me. I think it is something wrong on your end.

Also, are the i3D ones really gone ?

These new servers worked better for most of us in CA (this is the first time I have seen TheVulong with a ping under 100) but Pure_Amazing (UK) had the same problems as OP.

From the server list, at least.

They are gone from the in-game browser as well.

I had a much smoother experience with the i3d ones. I am not experiencing the same problems with any other games or my internet connection in general as far as I can tell. I work in IT and networking is part of that so I understand how things work, I just don't seem to be able to work out what the problem is here. I am pretty sure the i3d servers were bought in due to the fact that people were having similar problem to those I have described. I will however have a chat with my ISP but as I did say before the speed is very fast and it is passing all the line quality ( packet loss etc) tests I can throw at it. I really appreciate you guys trying to help and if you have any other ideas please do let me know. Unless it is something specific to my system I can't think I am the only one experiencing this although that of course is possible.

Well, if everything works fine for other games then it can't be your PC or router/internet.

 

Do you get this on all the UK servers or was this just one in particular?

There are no servers in the UK anymore as far as I know (in fact the AWS servers were hosted in Ireland) they just forget to change the names.

I have not tested extensively recently but I used to only play on the i3d ones as I have always had problem with the other ones. I played a TDM and  Siege match earlier and neither was what you might call a smooth experience. Also yesterday enemies were teleporting so I was effectively shooting people who were not where I was shooting at. It is a weird problem but as the i3d servers fixed it, it didn't bother me. Now I have no choice but to use the non i3d servers I really need to find some kind of solution to make the game playable again.

My life is a lie. My reality in shambles.

 

 

At least the UltraViolent-Wed-X servers are always Ultra-Violent :).

Is it possible that they are doing some kind of maintenance on the servers and they might be coming back ?

there was a thread about the servers by capnjosh very recently..

Well then I have my fingers crossed in the hope that they are just offline for maintenance. Thanks for the info :-)

Either what Emiliy said or for some reason: package loss

I've seen people teleport as well on the new UK-i servers, altought the overall experience is much smoother on those than on I3D or on the old UK ones.

I have got the same issues as Jonnywithanh with the UK servers. I've had no problems at all while playing on i3D servers, but on the UK servers I have sometimes a higher Ping,  I teleport and the Secondary Weapon fires like one second after I pressed the button. It happens rarely to me, so the game is still playable though, just sometimes the enemy can escape because of these issues. It's a little bit annoying then.
