I will do further testing tomorrow, hopefully while recording. But from my initial results, I experience none of the issues that I experience on US servers; and I'm located in US West. Firstly, I'm surprised that I can pull 160 ping to Frankfurt when my ping to Ashburn is consistently ~100. More importantly though, I experienced zero ruberbanding, no loss of framerate, fantastic hitreg (i.e. I can hit someone with an smg across the bridge on Prosk, something I can rarely do even on LA servers), no frame compression etc. Whatever the host is for Frankfurt appears to be way better than the host for US servers. Granted, further testing required. Also, it may have been a factor that these test were done during a low internet traffic time for my region - like I said, more tests required.

 

I'll keep you posted.

No rubberbanding? Server name pls.

I consistently experience rubberbanding, especially when shot at.

Didn't jot down the server, really you should have. I'll be more scientific about it today or tomorrow.

You know I have also jumped over to Europe on occasion and have gotten on multiple occasions a better play experience than I had in US at the time. The same goes for many servers on even the US region. Some just plain work better for me. The last few days I have played I haven't had the framerate bottleneck issue to the extent that I usually do and I managed to do very well for once in a game. Starting now, I have a piece of paper next to me where I will record notable things about my play experience and hopefully remember to share them again.

I had a great time in Frankfurt, except for my teammates having no idea how to play Siege

No idea what happened 2 the game recently, but i am sure it was something REALLY BAD, dudes. I couldn't find any information about major updates or critical server changes other than the Dallas news, but 2day's performance was ABYSMAL LOUSY on every server i joined, as well in US as in EU. Not just sub-par - it was insanely bad.

 

On some US servers the lag was so horribly high, even a BRAWLER managed 2 sneak up upon me (i played an Infil), jump over me, and shoot in2 my back until i was dead. All that happened in a split-second and b4 i could even react 2 it! Scotty would have been proud about all the teleporting i've faced there, and i am proud 2 b 1 of the very few HAWKEN players that had the savage pleasure of having played moa than a second back in THE PAST! ("No time-machine needed, Ladies & Gentlemen, hahaha...") All games were - simply said - totally unplayable 4 me there, due 2 the ubiquitous delay. I got overrun by at least half the NME team all the way without the slightest chance 2 even detect a single foe b4. They just teleported in and killed me instantly. If i hadn't 2 respawn manually, i maybe even hadn't noticed being killed!

 

On the EU servers everything seemed 2 b ok at 1st sight. I live in Germany, and rarely had any serious problems with the server connexions, especially 2 the Frankfurt servers. However, i couldn't recognize any noticeable lag, everything was smooth, gameplay was fluid, no rubberbanding or teleporting occurred, ping was between 40 and 70 as usual... Everything was pretty well... ...at 1st sight... ...but soon i realized, that the hitreg of the Frankfurt servers was so incredibly bad, that my damage ratio reached the LOWEST LEVEL I EVER HAD since i started 2 play HAWKEN 842 hours ago. Just a little bit exxagerated said: even with hitscan weaponry i had big problems 2 even hit the FLOOR i was walking on, and all my efforts 2 survive any 1 vs. 1 duel turned out 2 b absolutely useless, regardless what sort of breakdance dodging i did 2 prevent or evade damage, and regardless what mech i picked. I don't give up easily, but the way the game performs actually, i end up as 1 of the last players of the loosing team every match, and that's really not normal, not usual. Never was. Other players agreed 2 that, too.

 

It's damn hard 2 play 4 such a long time, gain enough HCs 2 buy every mech, hone ur skills up 2 the point where u r sure 2 play good enough 2 support ur team decently against the most average players, just 2 turn around 1 day and face the game so insanely screwed up, that there's no chance 2 win against any1 else and even clueless noobs due 2 technical reasons. The effects might b subtle, but fatal, and the result ridiculous. Whatever the reason 4 that issue is - i wasn't the only 1 that noticed severe performance problems as it seems, and i am absolute sure i didn't fancy it all and just had a bad day or such. I really hope the devs fix it soon, b4 the ship begins 2 sink. I love this game, every corner of every map, every game mode and every mech, the style and the concept, and the community is by far the best i've ever faced. So - please, restore the game 2 what it was b4, CpnJosh. I beg u. Everything was running fine, or at least ok until 2day, but the latest issues r a real problem, at least 4 some, so 4 the sake of HAWKEN, please fix it...

 

Regards, gArphEus
