Terrible lag or something else?

Since the last update, I have had multiple matches where something really weird was going on that’s either lag or something else: Many of my inputs don’t go through, although my character tries to go through with them in glitchy fashion.

For example: When I try to switch weapons (default: Q) my weapon often disappears for a fraction of a second and then that same weapon reappears again. When I try to crouch, my character almost does so but then just doesn’t. When I try to sprint, my character almost does so but then just doesn’t. Only multiple repeated taps of the same input works. This is GAME BREAKING! Imagine you’re shooting at distance enemies but hear the backstab sound. Hitting Q while turning around and blocking? That’s off the table. Dodging? Let’s hope it goes through.

During beta and until the last patch, I never had issues like these. Is the player pool already dying and am I being shoved into American servers, or other distant ones? Did you patch in a wider geographical range to improve wait times!? If so, remove this nonsense!

PS: Shooting my Kantrael? Same problem, sometimes the sound of a shot goes through but there’s no shot. Then after a while, I do a crazy burst-fire which is something unnatural to that weapon. Weird glitches!

Excact same thing happend to me a few times since last update. I don’t think it was my connection because on discord my ping was still just 20ms. Also didn’t have low FPS at that moment. Feelt like the server was struggeling.

The servers have been struggling hard since the last patch. While they had some issues prior to it, it’s gotten really bad, particularly on damnation. It seems like it might be a performance issue as it tends to crop up more the longer the map goes on, but I’m not sure.

For those who haven’t seen how incredibly awful it is (See specifically ~2m55s for me to be absolutely losing my mind, JUST LET ME SWITCH WEAPONS followed up by my ability breaking even though I was just hitting it out of pure wtf):

Yup, exactly what’s in the vid. This made the game unplayable for me; it’s literally the last type of game that needs this. My Sharpshooter has been pummeled to death because the server just didn’t let me switch to my melee weapon.

Any word from Fatshark? They’re falling far behind with their content and fixes but I’m sure we can expect another batch of paid cosmetics soon… pardon my cynicism.

I have had a lot of issues with ghost hits the past few days, either the hit does not register, or the hit registers but the mobs dont stagger, or the hit registers but there is no hit sound.

While i have not had to many disconnects since the last patch, i have noticed that players and enemies lag stutters more than usual.

Also have a bit of weird input stuttering that seems to affect guns like the plasma and the helbore, i click to start charging up, but it does not seem like the game registered it.

Besides that, i have had some serious fps drops, grenades, explosions and psyker staffs seems to trigger it the most, sometimes even without having massive hordes in play.

Yup, same here. Game runs better than before one time, but can run almost consistently horrible like never before the other. Seems that they fixed some stability issues with the latest patch, but introduced others.

I’ve noticed the same, it’s frustrating and seems worse in high intensity engagements.

Same. The first game I had after last patch was exactly like you’re describing. Eaten inputs, cancelled animations, way more no-regs on both ranged and melee hits. Felt awful.

It’s gone back to normal for me, which is to say mostly just hitreg issues.
