dude, honestly i think the best thing you can do is simply not bother.
since this forum was made there has been multiple posts complaining about the exact same packet loss issue, and all of them just end up with skula blaming it on your internet, ive tried getting this fixed myself and it’s just a big waste of time.
one thing you can notice on most of the posts about packet loss is that the issue doesnt get fixed after they change ISP, this issue is ONLY happening on crossout and absolutely nowhere else, and people from all around the world share the exact same problem, and yet, the answer is skula telling you to get better internet every single time.
its a waste of time, better just not even bother with it than spend your entire week debating with someone who’s clearly just trying to dismiss as many complaints as he can with the same excuse.
So true. Crossout got the worst servers i never saw in my long gaming life.
In addition with the initial issue there is now servers lag spikes for few weeks/months now (every players in the battle lag at the same time). Some players got so used with this now and know by heart all the laggy servers names…
While server stuff is the most complicated to fix and work on, their priority and interest to work on that seems to be very low, and as we learn with the years, it’s useless to complain about it they do not care unless it get critical state where it’s really unplayable every battles. It’s even harder with a moderator that is just here to say it’s your internet fault and not giving issues feedback to the dev team.
Yup, the servers lag so much for me this game not fun and almost not playable, my pc is new, spoke with my wifi provider, cleaned my pc and tested my connection 98% of the lag/ragdoll is on their end but if you file a report they claim it’s on our end not theirs, they need to fix their servers, maybe update them as it’s clearly not the player base if this lag effects PC/PS4/Xbox players all over the world!
Skula, the issue is getting worse. It’s on your end.
Something goes wrong and the server loops sending the same packets over and over. I can’t figure it out without seeing your logs. You should try relaxing the timeout parameters on confirmation packets. I don’t know what else to tell you. I see it almost every single CW session where someone get desynchronized. Locking to your region helps, but in the case of playing in silver+ on NA the queue times becomes 20 minutes and longer. It’s not a viable solution.
Expecting people to fix loss that occurs on transoceanic play is a silly notion. And having slight loss should not cause this kind of issue. There is something wrong with your startup parameters/NAT. Please work on this. If you let me see your server logs I can help pinpoint the issue.
I went ahead and put the feed of what I see (rubberbanding, unplayable game), and in the upper right is the discord stream of my clan-mate. You can see the clock is desynchronized, you can see the discrepancy in gamestate, what I see and what my ally sees.
The game can handle spikes of loss and ping in the middle of the match, why does this happen only from the start? It can’t possible be all on my end when multiple users have the exact same issue.
Please fix this or let me help you fix it and give me the data I need.
And to be ABUNDANTLY clear, this issue only occurs at the start of the match while the countdown is going on. If CW was only one round you would take the gamble of a desync once a game like pvp, but in CW you have the chance of a desync up to THREE times.
My CW sessions with NA lock are turning into waiting 15+ minutes for a game and after three windows I’m only 2/3rds the way to silver cap. This is becoming a waste of my time and I don’t think you care in the slightest.
Just relax your timeout parameters and force the server to send current packets and stop looping sending old packets.
Please for the love of all things good Skula, fix your crap.
It bears repeating how weird it is that your net tester reports a 10% loss between my computer and my router. The issue with certain servers straight up refusing connections from certain clients should be taken seriously.
In these screenshots you can see the net test returning okay results for the server, but you can also see that I am not properly connected and stuck at spawn with much higher ping and loss than the net test reports.
I tried using a vpn and routing traffic all over the place to see what things might change, and the problem still remains largely unchanged.
So we hit gold in 401k today during Levi CW. The only other NA clan that was matched against us was C0PE. We had 15 minute+ queues. Either all other EU/RU clans are locking their regions or the matchmaking has no priority for NA clans/players. If I set region to Auto it throws me on EU or RU nearly 100% of the time, if I have to play nearly every game on EU to get a match, but I can’t play on EU because I desynch consistently, what am I to do?
If it takes 15-40+ minutes of waiting in queue to play a ~5 minute game I feel like I’m wasting my time.
Always wheel stuff when I do the network testing, but I doubt they’re gonna look into it because the person who suppose to is the one dismissing our claims with it’s not on our end it’s on yours when clearly it isn’t on my end at least, I done so many tests, cleaned my pc/cache and tested my 1-year-old PC and less than a year old router. I even spoke with my wifi provider and they said my wifi working as it should, but it’s easier to say it’s on our end then to actually look into it and fix it, as they may actually have to update their servers which means spending $$$ and not just taking it in!
