Issue Description (Required):
The server performance in high difficulty missions is terrible.
There has something to be done about it.
I don’t know how many instances are running on a server, or what the specs are,
but it’s just comical what is happening all the time.
This only applies to high difficulty missions (T5 - Auric / Havoc) which seem to load the servers a lot.
All these issues are mentioned uncounted times in this forum and elsewhere.
Spinning / flying enemies
Enemies just spawn in the middle of the room after entering, or appear from doorless walls
Enemies flying through walls and ceilings
Hit reg is terrible (esp. devastating on single shot and slow swing melee weapons)
rubber banding / warping player characters
Enemies attacking and running back first into player
Enemies torso spinning towards player, legs facing the opposite direction
All kinds of actions like reload, attack, ultimate are unresponsive / delayed (sometimes actions are triggered, more then a second after the button press)
These should be all server side issues, that only apply to Darktide high diff. missions
No idea if the instances have to be restarted more frequently,
or what else could be done.
Ping is 30-33 on T5 and for some reason 55-60 on > Auric+, but ping is not the issue.
I don’t have a lot of disconnects, just the usual average.
The system, network and fiber connection are long term stable, in all other applications.
A lot of online games have a netgraph console option sometimes with server load indication.
That doesn’t solve the problem, but atleast it’s visual that something is going wrong.
I have a playtime of 2345 hrs + closed beta and it’s not getting better.
The in-game performance from an FPS viewpoint is not an issue, the frames are capped to 120 aka screen max. refresh rate.
Please do not suggest to turn it off and on again.
Darktide is the only game, with these kinds of issues in my game collection.
