unusual bad lag

Bug Report Section Launcher, game client and connection issues
1

  1.  I had 2 matches in Sector Conquest with ping of 450 and more and my ships and had uncontrolled movement, meaning they sort of rotated/turned without me touching my mouse or keyboard.

  2. Because this never happened before I haven’t done anything differently I had no problem on Russian servers playing PvP Skirmish before SecCon and after it. Only the 2 battles Sector Conquest I had an issue. 

  3. First time it happened but I rarely play Sector Conquest

  4. Session ID of the 2 SecCon games was 5944115 and 5944243

  5. Attached Logs, ping/trace and screenshot.

I would say this is about standard. My average ping on RU server 280+  … that’s just enough to miss every shot. :facepalm:

I usually have a ping of 200-250 to Russian servers, so having a ping twice as much to the same servers seems odd.

I 100% agree with you. But even 400+ ping isn’t unusual (I was recording either the game in question or another from that day so I’ll put it up and link it to show how bad it is.)

I haven’t math skills to debate the ping times or why they haven’t yet been resolved…(and for those of you who say distance from server, at the risk of making an “Apple to Oranges” statement, I don’t have this problem in other games with greater distance. So it seems there IS at least someone out there who has the math skills to figure this out. Unfortunately they probably are too well paid at the job they already have to come help us out.)

Not the exact game in question… (still working on that) but a good example of RU Vs. US server play.

Interesting that was the same wagging I had at the game with 450 ping but way more extreme than you.

I have the same ping (210) to Russian servers but I don’t have this wagging usually. But I do have a bounce/drift sometimes and the unguided missiles on the interceptor don’t shoot straight anymore (your seem to shoot straight). That is why I went pack to small (homing) missiles.
