Teleporting people and flying cars causing a real headache.

[Frank_Hawk]

I've raised the issue around lag and desync for a long time but nothing seems to improve in-game. The playability of our SA:MP server is unsurpassable but is spoilt rotten by the never ending case of lag / desync. For me, lag and desync means that people will magically carkill me without even purposely doing so, being unable to kill others / vice versa and having the headache of watching random objects fly across my screen. I'm not sure about others, but my vision is being strained by all the desync which is not universal to other servers. The question I now put to the board, is whether you are all experiencing the same issue? I've raised the issue in-game and people stand up to make their voice known but unfortunately they choose not to do the same on the forum.

If you are experiencing the same issues, please make it known so we can collectively correct this persisting problem.

I experience the lag. One is now unable to ride a bike with a passenger without even stopping twice or thrice to pick up the fallen passenger.

[Leroy]

Yes, there is desync and lagg

In RS5.0 we trust.

[StatuZ]

Aye

I have noticed this more and more often as of recent.
To add to the lag, there is also noticable delay in commands, especially now with the new vehicle setup, where your car engine turns off when you get out and back in.
Something needs to be done about the lag,
I have witnessed this far too often, I am chasing a player that has <100 ping, and I have 200ping, I see them jumping all around my screen, then it looks like they have stopped but they are still driving on theirs.

[Romeo]

Its pretty common.

[Pandalink]

I haven't noticed it. :conf:

[Dean Willis]

What can we do with it?

[Marcell]

What can we do with it?

Stop DLing pr0n when you play, or patiently wait for RS5.0, or both.

What you all have mentioned I had before when it was wrong with a script who caused all this desync, lately I have been experience the server good without delay, lag or desync.

But today when I logged in I have noticed it yet again, so yes it's true. The things that have to be done is to report this to the developers and see if they can look into it.

First of all there are specific problems for Britsh users, they have periods of lag or disconnetions that are not caused by the server but ny a connection between the British providers and the mainland acting up.

Secondly we are still occasionally experiencing DDOS attacks, ahd while they are now unsuccessful in stopping the server, they so cause the connection and response to slow down.

Finally, there can still be some script causing this, and we are looking in to this.

[Frank_Hawk]

I have personally not experienced any disconnections. There is virtually no lag in the mornings when player count is low (-70ish?). The lag / desync seems to be influenced by player numbers (100ish+?) and not in my case by scripts / ISP connection. The greater problem of lag / desync is the effect it is having over others. There is a increase in reports as people believe they are being carkilled (unintentionally), shot at, suspected on false observations, events being sabotaged routinely and general frustration and anguish over playability and associated eye health. Please treat this as the utmost priority as this is becoming unbearable and dare I say regretfully neglected.

If you all feel the same, which I'm sure you all do - please make it known collectively.

The disconnections have been reported by multiple people from Britain, depending on your provider and speed you may experience lag instead of disconnection.
Also note that this is not a single issue but a combination. To solve it all parts that could influence need to be examined and this is something that is an ongoing process. The scripters and developers are constantly trying to improve reaction time, it is just a mattter of finding the right combination.
