When I fly my ships they wobble around a central point like going down a whirlpool. I have seen youtube clips and also in this forum of this problem. It is impossible to shoot any guns as the whole display follows the wobble as well. Hitting Cntrl works for a few seconds but then gets unbearable. I think it was better on release 0.9.2 but on 0.9.3 it is back with a vengance. I have even optimized my router mtu transmission rate.
Can this be fixed asap as other players have complained.
Can this be fixed asap
Admire your optimism.
I believe this is caused by a high ping.
I have heard flying larger ships might help, as well as putting the controlling in advanced instead of simple.
It sadly doesn’t have to do with ping. It’s a bug where the ship overshoots it’s alignment towards the reticle while moving. I’ve experienced this even in gunships on non-laggy days… It was bug reported, agreed upon, apparently submitted to the devs, but no idea if there’s anything done about it. It was… quite a while ago.
Nothing to do with ping.
Same latency before and after 0.8.1
Before had no wobbles
Now have wobble-trouble
Admire your optimism.
Go to Menu, Settings, Game, Ship Control Mode, and switch it to expert. It goes away, and I only see it a tiny bit on occasion.
Don’t use expert on a frigate, it’ll get you killed.
Tried Expert mode but feels like you are dragging the ship around like it is on a long string. Not good for precision flying through v small spaces. Hope a technician or developer reads this but can it be fixed with the next release, It was really bad last night even with 0 to 1 precent ping loss.
Expert’s more for absolute ship control. If you play Ice Reef with Expert, you’ll understand once you get the keyboard handling down. If the game were only about real flying skill, expert would win hands down. But for frigates which are slow, it’s a targeting hindrance, and you’re better off with basic anyway. It really depends on the map. I’m “trying” to use basic on fighters and interceptors, but I prefer expert for ship control. Using “expert” does hinder targeting, but it improves survivability once you’re used to it, especially on maps with a lot of asteroids. Who needs flares when you have an asteroid?
At a minimum, did the wobble go away with expert? I’ve yet to see it on expert. I’ve seen frigates wiggle on basic.
in expert camera, wobbles become input delay or ‘inertia’
your ship will continue to drift in the same direction before readjusting to a new vector or overcompensates when turning making the thing feel sluggish. It actually feels more realistic when you have wobble then switch to expert mode … but still.
depending on how bad the network quality is in any particular game, even expert mode can be unplayable at times where you have to anticipate turns and stops for up to 2 or more seconds ahead of time.
If I try to fly in basic my ship just spins around in circles so I have to fly in expert but with expert I have to put most of my mouse settings the lowest they will go and I still get a bit of over compersation and targetting is hell, Can’ fly an intersepter because of mouse sensitivity is to high even when it is set to as low as it will go, Flying fighter command is a little better but Frigate is best because they are slow and I can adjust because it swings to far but targetting is tough… Wish they would fix this because when I first started and did the tutorial in basic mode the ship flew great…

:good: welcome to the frigate club.
we should start one for real. inty pilots stuck in haulers coz of either wobble or corp needs.
p.s. try the USA server preference options in the Launch menu. I only get wobbles playing on the Russian server. USA is all good.
And you’re in Malaysia? That’s sad…
Even when I did PvE my ship would spin in circles so not sure if selecting USA server would help but I might try it later just to see… They need to upgrade their servers for smoother packet transmission, I think the problem is that people with certain types of modems or providers the information is not transmitting or is being currupted which is causing mouse and flying instability, I have seen similer problems on other sites and games where they do not have their servers or software updated to run with certain high end modems… All internet providers most fallow a certain guidline with modems and software and most have it updated to current standerds but websites and games do not have to fallow this and if a game or website is running older servers or outdated software it can cause incompatibility issues…
Read up on buffer bloat. It’s far more complicated than you can imagine.
my other ships don’t wobble, just the Dwarf 2 Interceptor
Drunk behavior is either a high ping/ loss rate.
network coding, either get a faster internet or get an apartment closer to the servers :smoke:
and make sure youre not loading any pr0n :facepalm:
