Server and desync megathread

Dying behind corners alot atm..
EU servers, Germany, Amsterdam & London.

The game is smooth, but seems like everything is 0.5s behind in terms of combat, not great.

Desync has been getting progressively worse over the last few weeks, this past week especially. Scavs drop dead sometimes a full second after you tap them in the head. I've been rounding corners and spraying down someone standing totally still, only to die and be told I fired no shots. Frequently dying then hearing the gunshot afterwards. It seems like people are able to lay in a bush, stand up and shoot me, before I can actually see them stand up on my screen.

Then there's the disconnects. At least once every 2-3 raids, I'll be disconnected either while the game is loading or shortly into the game. Then the game will sometimes give me difficulty reconnecting, about half the time I'll end up dying while trying to get back in.

Then there's the menus and inventory screens. They constantly freeze up, and only seem to be fixed by restarting the game. I'll frequently try to collect insurance or money from the flea, or put something up for sale on the flea, or try to sell some junk to a dealer, and it just sits there doing nothing. It won't let me click out of the screen when these things happen, and I have to restart. Often I'll try to move something in my inventory from one spot to another, only to have it blink in both spots and never actually move, again, requiring me to restart the game to get anything to happen. In this same area, closing the inventory screen while in raid will frequently freeze for up to 3 seconds.

Right now, the game is borderline unplayable. I'm still playing it regularly but I'm not enjoying it anymore. I started tracking, and on a bad day, I'll die 10+ times in a row, without extracting a single time, because I keep dying due to one of these issues above. It's extremely frustrating.

Eu servers tad bit laggy.

Trouble getting into games as scav (get kicked out while the raid is loading) and occasional "server connection lost" during pmc runs forcing me to rejoin just to die to a pmc/scav shooting my face as I'm rejoining.

Real fun, quality servers. Canada/US east coast.

EU servers are meme currently

Anyone else getting hs when they are behind cover during a fight. The desync is really bad right now.

Is anyone else getting desyncs and stutters every raid they get into?

I am playing on the EU servers and it seems that no matter the hour the game feels like shit.

Its GARBAGE now, join a raid as a scav with 10 minutes left in customs, rush dorms because my extration was on old road gate, get inside the dorms and chill in a room for a bit, spot a guy outside shot him twice and he shot me back 3 times, i die after leave the room like 6 seconds later after the fight.

​

BSG wtf is that? this makes me so mad, i bought the EOD and cant even play the game anymore, 6/7 seconds of desync? Remove this 2 last patchs your guys put in, rollback because this changes are GARBAGE and make it like 10x worst than before.

​

btw, Miami server.

servers seem pretty chill for me NA west

8 hit count with M61, 222 damage to body, what is going on with the servers/game right now?

Copying and pasting my post title since it got deleted. Servers have been hot ass.

Server performance seems more or less the same for me; which is to say pretty decent, with my fair share of folk abusing peeking and dsync.

Average matching/loading times have dropped significantly, I’d say from 5 minutes to 3

Edit: NA East fwiw

Sums up my experience with servers in OCE.

Constant backend errors when moving items in stash. Every 3rd or 4th item I try to move keeps flashing, the error message appears, then kicks me to the main menu. Will reboot and try getting into a raid.

Getting super regular disconnects and descync

2021-03-21 20:24:53.230 +00:00|0.12.9.2.11410|Error|Default|Log: calling UNET::NetLibraryManager::Disconnect this is likely comming from script

In trace log when disconnected from the game. Super annoying to lose kits that way.

Awesome update for servers to be even worse now...

quite pathetic NA servers quite literally pathetic

RTT spikes over 1k at Reserve black bishop when killing a rat in there and get instantly kicked as I'm picking up an item.

Blinking items in inventory, 5 minute matching times on factory, constant errors on the fleamarket, thanks bsg

If you can't fix the game just sell the idea to a better studio. Peeker's advantage in this game is ridiculous. Dying so far and so late after taking cover simply doesn't exist in any other contemporary FPS game atm. Also I don't get why we accept this. PUBG has bigger maps, more players, bullet drop, armor etc. and almost perfect hit reg. EFT just has shitty servers, and few people care to admit. I simply cannot believe some simple extra calculations (ammo type, limbs, ricochet chance etc.) cause such a big problem and desync. It doesn't make any sense so I don't accept it as an excuse.

Everybody just keeps playing because of the gun porn and the grindy addictive nature of the game, but almost everybody agrees that fighting sucks and it's never reliable. So the game fails to deliver at it's fundamental core and purpose.Gave up this wipe too because of a ridiculous amount of BS deaths and frustration from connectivity issues. I don't believe anything will change for the better tbh.

Bad netcode has been a discussion since i started playing in end of 2017.This games netcode will likely never be fixed unfortunately, they discussed getting third party devs to help with netcode - nothing has changed. They release a couple minor patches relating to netcode (2019 ish) but it's the same shit.

The games code is probably just a mess to work with (evidence of this everywhere, all their menus are obviously rewritten code instead of reusing existing code). If you have been following this game for a while you would know this is nothing new.

Just wiped a 4 man, no problem on customs....

Then desync hit. 2 ENTIRE mags of 855a1 into a scav. He teleports 10 feet, then manages to one tap me in the head with PS while reloading the third mag -_-

Shooting a Full 30 round AK74M Mag with BT Ammo into a player. My Mag is empty and while i reload and the player is jumping on the roof next to me he just dies after 2 seconds. Also Experiencing poor netcode when the game starts: Shooting 20 Rounds of Ak74 BT Ammo into an player with no armor or helmet and i just die instantly after 2 sconds when he turned to me. Experienced on following Servers: Germany, Poland, Czech, France, Netherlands

Whenever therapist has run out of stock (croutons or sugar) and I click on the item, it completely freezes my game. Can't close the game, need to sign out & back in to Windows.

The memory leak issues are getting worse

My frames used to be beautiful on Customs and they are obviously dropping into the toilet if I try to stay in raid more than 15 minutes

Literally impossible, worst developers on fucking earth.

So glad they "upgraded" their servers. Constant packet loss and highly fluctuating ping. East coast us. How many more years do they need to fix it? What a joke.

Server performance is god awful Desync is peaking on NA

Is there still that pesky 1 second delay that makes running and gunning the optimal strategy?

I just hit someone 8 times with m61 and did only 80 dmg and no armor damage?

Customs on US West is currently unplayable. desync is common and can last 2-3 seconds. more cheaters than ever before

Region lock the game. Can't play on NA east cause of euros abusing lag. Can't play on NA west cause of hackers from across the water. Even in central servers peeker's advantage is a full second. We don't need new guns and maps as much as we need stable servers and decent encode. Oh and fix the fucking sound god damn.

Jesus Christ, what happened in the last 2 hours?
Silenced gun fired inside a building sounded like it's unsilenced and fired outsite (my gun, not sure how it sounded to others).
Grenades exploding without sound.
Teammate isn't able to hear my footsteps, not sure if other players can hear them (running on metal).
