Frankfurt servers have been absolutely horrendous today, again. The performance is so bad it becomes unplayable, projectiles randomly just disappear into thin air, dodges turn the game into a PowerPoint presentation (no drop in fps), damage dealt to someone with hitscan weapons registers sometimes up to a second late. When you spawn the camera often just goes through the mech and into the cockpit given how bad the lag is. Even dying has lag with everything hanging for a short time before exploding.
Ping on Frankfurt servers goes into the 100s even though connection tests to public Frankfurt servers and playing games with servers located in Frankfurt give a ping that never goes above 32. Hawken is the single game where this happens. Network diagnostic tools show everything is fine to various public Frankfurt servers.
A lot of people are complaining about it, Amsterdam servers are decent, Iceland servers give lower ping and better performance despite being almost 4 times farther and over a stretch of ocean. Most of us had zero server performance issues before Reloaded bar the syncing errors that sometimes happened. This is not to blame the developers but something must have changed that sent the server performance into the gutter.
There is something terribly wrong with those Frankfurt servers, tickets have been sent, threads have been made and they haven't changed. The worse of it is that for the higher MMR players the only way to get into a game most of the time is through the queue and if the highest average is on a Frankfurt, you can't even play by queuing since you'll land into it.
This is more a plea than a rant, can we please have some information on what is up, some server addresses to use WinMTR on? I'm sure EU players would love to help pinpoint exactly what is happening here.
