i get better performance sometimes on Europe servers
1000x this. I can play on a EU server with 100+ ping and I'll still have a better time than on literally any NA server.
I LIVE IN NA.

30-40 ms ping, whatcha talkin' about?
ping isn't everything.
I get 40 ping to New jersey servers when I'm an hour and a half away from them. I used to get 20 ping to them. Kansas City, also 40 ping. Awful hitreg, weapon misfires, rubberbanding galore. The list goes on.
This is why I avoid LA servers at as much as possible.

New Jersey is the worst. On LA I get about 90 ping but its more predictable than New Jersey is. Chicago got funky a few months ago. A bunch of the private servers there feel off.
Dallas seems good still.
EDIT:
No other game I play do I ever get server issues like Hawken. They just cheaped out to keep the game afloat.

Come on Crafty, you have been officially called out on your lies. Your online reputation is at stake here, this is just like an old school street race running for pink slips. Its run what you brung and hope its enough. Put up or shut the fuzzy bunny up.

Weren't a bunch of people complaining about Dallas servers just a few months ago?

I like going against the best of any game I play. Helps you in the long run n motivates u to do more. Always room for improvement not failure

FIRST OFF WHAT THE FUZZ IS A "SHILL"
Amsterdam suckskansas is godawful
chicago is hit or miss
los angeles is actually hell itself
dallas is just ok
new jersey is just ok
i get better performance sometimes on Europe servers
Festivals end, as festivals must
New York is a waste of time
New York servers?

dallas for me is like the same as los angeles... i'm on the east coast

I personally have terrible performance everywhere. It's gotta be the servers. Definitely.

I really wonder why the servers are so terrible. What could Reloaded possibly could've done? Would buying new servers work?

You should call me Luna.

Also true for me. I admittedly don't have the best ISP, but I also do not have server problems with literally any other game. ONLY HAWKEN.



"DeeRax's got what you've always wanted."
This is how I found out that almost all of my traffic gets routed through Seattle when it doesn't need to be, and that Trentik's server was in Phoenix (now fixed).

Salvage: An Idea to Stop Leavers
Confirmed; Today/Tonight, the only server I was able to have an enjoyable, lag-free game was AMSTERDAM.
That is ASININE.
(I realize there are a lot of other factors that go into this that I'm neglecting... But damn).

Hawken's average online experience is immeasurably worse than any online experience I’ve had in the Overwatch beta or in CS:GO. It's deplorable.
I say 'online experience' in reference to all network issues. Ping is almost entirely irrelevant in my experiences in Hawken- I've had playable experiences at 80 ping while I continuously have laughably bad experiences at 40-60 ping; things like pegging an enemy with a TOW and receiving no hit marker, seeing a player teleport 4 mech-lengths with no ping spike, holding down mouse buttons to charge a weapon before realizing my weapon isn't charging, clicking to fire and seeing it occur significantly after I've removed my finger from the button- over and over and over I experience these things below 80 ping.
What the actual fuzzy bunny.
All the smurfs, script-kiddies, balance issues, sparse servers- and I remain...but this absolutely god awful netcode is what is driving me away from this game. I cannot have fun when the very game at its core won't function.
I'm so excited to play Overwatch. The only down side is knowing the good netcode over there is going to make playing Hawken even more painful an experience.

I experience none of these issues. Are you sure there isn't something going on between your computer and the server?
Clearly the servers have problems, but in your case it sounds like it isn't just the servers.

Well I plan on stepping through that guide by Dermax, but given the fact that I've literally never had congruent experiences in any other game (referring to ignoring hits, delayed button input, ignored button input, etc.) doesn't bode well for Hawken.
I just set up my rig again after neglecting to do so for almost two weeks after I relocated to a new apartment and now my current ethernet cable won't fit into the wall jack there. I will however say this about the servers currently: for as long as I can remember, when my weapons stopped firing, people started moving constantly in the last direction they went, and when my ability refused to work all at once it always resulted in being disconnected and the server would continue to do that to me every time for the entire day if I ever went back in. Now, that horrendous lag spike that I still get every now and then has yet to result in a server boot in like over two months. I still get it mind you, and it still often results in me being killed, but at least it allows me to continue playing in often one of the only favorable servers for me at the time.
I think there are a lot of routing issues going on with teh interwebs right now. I play on dallas, los angeles, kansas city, and chicago. I live in rural oregon, im on community broadband, playing on a thinkpad over wireless. My absolute worst ping most of the time is 100, LA is probably about 70, hitreg's are predictable, and account syncing is fast. I know there have been a lot of Level 3 issues in the east and central parts of the US. Comcast has been flaky everywhere lately, and a lot of websites I visit are starting to take their sweet time loading, even on our windstream fiber at work. Our VoiP system was totally down at work a few weeks back due to some Level 3 stuff. I think they gave up on human staffing and switched to alpacas because the feed and insurance is cheaper. Every time we ask them to fix something they make it worse.
i believe you can pay extra for a host to provide higher server tick rates, im not sure but im assuming the devs provide that for hosting a custom server?
its in the configs so i assume a simple upgrade for server tickrate can be easily reflected to all clients as these configs are alwase compared against the server on connect
I thought I had been solid and without incident playing mostly on Kansas City, which is the closest server center to my house... until Saturday night. We started off fine, then, one by one, players started talking about the lag and pings. To me, at first, they all still looked fine. Then, I watched as the pings for all players just kept getting higher and higher, until, by the end of the match, every player was showing between 325 and 500. Eegads!
To be serious for a moment this is just a joke
