High Lag

If you do not know the answer to a question on the forums, either point them to someone who will, or DON'T REPLY AT ALL.

Anyway, I have been noticing the same thing although maybe it's just my rural English internet. Usually it gets better when I have reliable internet though, which isn't very often to be fair.

I've experienced all what tafftya said and unlike talvisota, I have a wifi. The game still crashes for me.

The lag of builds initiated taking some time to show has been there forever. Same goes for processing "ticks" (a combat round) which have a similar lag. This issue comes in wave; sometimes the game is really fast, and sometimes it gets really slow. It probably has something to do with server load and Bytro fighting off a thousand DDOS attacks way far beyond our understanding or something like that. Tip: reloading the page/game reliably returns the "processed" state in these cases.

I don't really know about the amount of traffic, all my devices have "free" amounts so I don't really care either. But keep in mind that it is a live game, which means that the client (your computer) has to ask the question "did something change?" to the server very often (like every second or so). 99% of the times the answer is no, but the 100th time it is "you spot a new, unknown unit at the edge of the vision of your 9th armored car brigade". And yeah, that constant tracking for changes can wear down on bandwidth and performance, especially if hundreds or thousands of clients are all doing it to the same server.

@freezy

Good idea. Maybe Freezy will know.
