    I am pinning this thread for better visibility on the topic relating to reports of higher than normal latency issues on the North American server.

    The team is fully aware of the situation and is working on an investigation at this time. As soon as we have an update ready to share we'll post it here and on our social media account on X.

    Thank you for your patience. No further postings reporting this issue are required at this time. If we require further details we will let everyone know via our social media accounts and here in this thread and in the announcements section. Once again, thank you for your patience and understanding, we hear you loud and clear soldier.

    Hello everyone, we have multiple teams working on the latency issues affecting players at this time. We are finalizing some details in our upcoming article to shed some transparency on the situation. At this time we are aware of the multiple crashes (without error codes) happening today as well.

    I just want to let you all know we have server technicians as well as our awesome team at Toadman working hard in addressing these matters. I want to thank you all for your patience and understanding. We'll post an update as soon as some final polishes are in place.

    As we opened up the servers today, we made some changes to the Connery gateway.

    Please let us know through threads on the forums how your server latency with Osprey (Connery) is now. Especially if you had dealt with extreme cases of latency before today's maintenance.

    Let us know about your latency experiences for Osprey and Wainwright.

    Ping seems to have gone up more. Unable to pull Anvils half the time. Big mistake to do the event next weekend with these issues. More checking needed

    High latency. Wouldn't it be easier to bring Emerald back?
    Updates have no effect.

    I played a lot of Miller at the weekend. Ping is higher. Server ping getting up to 75 when its always been 30 for me. Feel depressed with it

    Was meant to add to that. Some player tanks were going forwards then lagging back. (Missing my shot) A good few more Anvil's wouldn't release about 5-10 times tried. Was Killed

    It is slightly better in the sense It takes a bit longer until the latency increases indefinitely until disconnect.

    I play from South America, so my normal ping floats btw 150-180, and after a few minutes of gameplay the latency start going crazy, I can see all the icons in minimap blinking and randomly disappearing and appearing and all the ingame objects like players and vehicles start flying and warping around also appearing and disappearing. Some rare occasions this lasts like 2 min and get back to normal but usually it stays like this until it disconnects or I logout myself.

    This guy on reddit posted the same experience I get.

    Sunday (Apr. 27th) evening around 10:30 PM EST:
    Ping = 120 ~ 140 ms
    Latency = unknown (blank)
    The server seemed to be choking, with icons on the maps just erratically wiggling and zipping in all directions, the characters and the vehicles were flashing and teleporting all over the place.

    Restarting the client did not help.

    A somewhat playable situation gradually returned as people started to log off.

    Sunday and Monday evenings last week exhibited a similar pattern.

    I'm in central USA and he has better pings than I do! It 'floats' after 7 pm CST and is unplayable. Objects and people start lagging so bad (worse that some of the well known hack outfits). after 7 pm I can't even play and need to wait until daytime when the server activity is low. pings and latency are still out of reach...Emerald was still much better on it's worst day.

    Tried both servers. Not up to standard.
    WainRight ping is much higher. Literally doubled.
    OSprey is 10 ping lower. But its not good enough really.
    I too noticed some players were rubberbanding in front of me
  15. OpolE

    I'm really shocked there isn't more replies here yet.

    Just on Miller a mosquito just rubberbanded back for a second then sped off.

    Don't do the event this weekend. Its worrying
  16. LGLuis

    Are we seriously going to stick with the Cornery server? The ping is terrible and this weekend there will be 3x XP.
    Are the discussions about the server over?
    If so, let us know, because we are always posting about the terrible gameplay and there are no answers.

    Connery isn't a good server for anyone, maybe except a select few. Ping isn't even the real issue with it. Cause I get great ping to Connery.

    The problem with Connery is the same reason it was a ghost town to begin with, it is just a crappy server with a ton of problems.

    Well, it seems its now worse than ever, It starts normally but in an hour or so things start getting nasty and the latency skyrock to oblivion... I mean, I like to support the games I play, and I subbed because of DCUO and PS2, if I am not able to play both there is no point in keep this overpriced "allaccess" subscription (yes overpriced because I'm from SA).

    Please, do something, its unanimous that one way or another the whole playerbase is suffering with this awful servers.
