also played a game before 2pm, everything was normal and smooth

Something has to be wrong with servers.

Random disconnects are booting whole teams and my character keeps getting stuck in actions.

Hey Fatshark, the servers have been utterly sh*t lately in case you even care

5

Yep. Just had one of the worst experiences in this utter shaite coded game. Simply walking was like skirting around on ice. Dodge-sliding constantly makes you stuck on the most shirt-tiny pieces of architecture. Shooting into enemies makes bullets pass through them because they’re either not really there or already dead. Swinging sword into enemies is like hitting into a pillow, because… they’re not really there or already dead.

Second-ago-buttonpresses suddenly register making me kill bursters I intend to push, because now the trans-siberian router the game apparently thinks I need to throttle traffic through finally recieved that sword attack packet from 1000 ms ago.

This is why I have bought none of their dlcs and won’t be buying the next one either. The game is fundamentally broken.

These Amazon servers cheap and cheerful not. Latency is so inconsistent.

Not going to buy their class DLC going forward, it will be same old maps over and over and RNG latency each match make.

Playing Overwatch with smooth servers difference is night and day.

I mean Valorant uses Amazon servers but they must go for higher tick rate package

I was having a disconnect every single game in Darktide a few days ago.

Started playing Vermintide 2 again and now I’ve been disconnecting every game there as well.

Not sure what is going on but all my other games and my internet seems to be doing fine.

8

Same issue here… Chat not working (again, like sporadically for the last few years since launch), rubberbanding, sudden deaths out of nowhere and the classic Errortide game experience… It’s been the same for YEARS now. PLEASE Fartshark, do something! EVERY update we get the same problems. This game is so great, but you make it unbearable to play.

Whole weekend was crap for me. 80% of game i got 2002, 2014 and 2020.
Since skitarii launch 50% of games come w/ error codes. Only MP game i have problems with.
How do i refund this unplayable POS?

Been having issues for the past week. Consistent stuttering on PC on the Mourningstar and in matches, but the game runs fine in the psykhanium.

I’ve had quite a few instances where I will swap off my gun to push a dog, see the push animation on my end, and when I am freed from the dog the server still thinks I had my gun out the whole time. I’ve had to also give up smacking dogs out of the air because it will ghost hit 90% of the time. We could use some server maintenance with that next hotfix.
