I had this strange lag since end of 2019, but during this summer it ended. Now it's back. My usual ping is 60-80.
- it happens when I see more than few players
- their ships are jumping all over the place
- I type /ping several times, nothing happens. Same with messages.
- I shoot CD, I hear it's sound but nothing else happens
- I shoot my guns, they make no damage
Then I leave the place until no one is on my radar (if I don't die before leaving, pressing nanobots, but being not able to heal). It takes like 1-2 minutes.
Is this coming from my side? Sometimes I fly with Thunday who is using same router and modem as I. He says all is fine for him. We never use wifi, our Net is cable, our Speedtest shows ping 15-20, download 45Mb, upload 3-4Mb.
if seriously, they have migrated the server since 2019, if it was server's fault, it would have been solved. If it would occur when more people appear on the radar, I'd suspect bad HDD sectors/dying SSD or something along these lines.
I mean if Thunderer is at the same location, and it's fine for him, then it's most likely local hardware/OS/Game installation to blame. Try to install game on the different drive or even USB first and see how it goes. Then maybe try checking drivers/OS and reinstalling all of that.
you could try a small linux installation with lutris.
If the problems persist, then it's your internet connection.
If it doesn't then it's your windows.
