Its finally hit me. The lag is terrible. Slow load times. 3+ enemies nearby lag the game to where when you shoot at an enemy by the time you fire and the shell hits the enemy is gone and im hit by the tank i was shooting. Fix your game please. This lag is unnaceptable.

I have lost a bunch of games due to this problem. There are times when I cannot play for 20 minutes. The lag is a problem and signing into the game is a problem and once the game is over there are times where I am on the battlefield for a full 45 seconds after battle is over. I can not move my tank but I can move my turret  for a full 45 seconds. Wargaming this is a major problem and is extremely unacceptable! It's messing with my win rate and getting a lot of players extremely frustrated! Fix it!

True, all true. You hear that WG? It's the sound of you losing players.

That sucks, guys. That really sucks. 

 

Thankfully I haven't been having that problem. Lag drives me crazy. When it does happen, I want to stop playing because it drags the gameplay and quality down, but I'm an addict, so I push on, thus getting more frustrated because the lag is ruining everything. It's a tease. "Hey, c'mon and play, maybe the game will work. The dot is yellow, maybeeeeeee......"

People complaining about lag make me shake my head.  These are usually not things WG can fix.

 

I live in BC (western Canada) and my ping is 80-100.  Lag can be caused by

 

• your internet provider, if their network infrastructure is old or overloaded, or
• heavy traffic between you and WG's servers, or
• most likely, by the hardware that provides internet to your location: your modem and router.  

 

You want to fix it?  See this thread.

 

At Triarii we are trying to get WG to address the differences in ping between east coast players (20-50 ms) and west coast (80-200ms), but the geographic location of the Blitz server cluster may make this a tall request.

i have never had super lag problems untill this update. So its on their end. Not mine

The OP is running Android, so perhaps code changes in 2.7 are causing some Android users to see performance degradation with respect to latency in communicating with the game server.  Submit tickets all those who are having problems - it may not be networking at all, but a bug in the code.

 

We have seen no changes on iOS in network performance since the game came out.

So explain why my IPad Air 2 had no issues until I Updated to 2.7.

Haven't been able to play since.

I thought lag time was actually reduced when -1/+1 match making was in place. I had many battles start within seconds and my ping time was pretty fast, now it's taking far longer for battles to start and even end, I've had to wait 10+ seconds after the battle is completed. it almost hangs. additionally, I've had a harder time logging into the initial garage. 2.7 was a step back in performance

[reluctanttheist]

The release notes say there's some fixes coming server-side in 2.8.  We'll have to wait and see I guess.
