[houghtonbee]

Loaded up to play 1 game for the daily reward and disconnected when leaving battle about 630pm uk time friday night.

[Grison_SE]

I really had very Little problems since I began to run the game in Win7 comp mode. Only a couple of sound bugs and respawn in wrong plane. No disconnects at all.

[Grison_SE]

I knew it was too good to last. Got a disconnect a few minutes ago, after a battle.

[GonerNL]

I'm still running Windows 7 and I get loads of disconnects before and after battles. 

So Win 7 compatibility is better than Win 7 itself ?! 

 

Btw ; of course most of these problems are caused by WG's servers and connection. I mean, Wowp is the only game in our household (3 avid gamers) that just disconnects and lags. And half the player base here have those problems.

One thing to keep in mind though ; if you ever start lagging and there are others using the Internet connection, ask around for downloads, streams and torrents ...

That's a fair point. 

 

There are many links in the chain though. As you also point out, a lot of the Comms issues/disconnects etc are likely server side or route to server related - or a combination of those. I too experience packet loss/lag on occasions if somebody is streaming on the same router here at home and I'll see this in any game.

Plenty of those posting about persistent lag here in the forum's may have something in common geographically also? (I'm speculating a lot as usual) ;-)

Youre bang on the money.

 

I was reluctant to bring this up cause it would take too much arguing, the same as I had when I first brought the conclusion about Win7 - noticing that as a Win7 user I suffer almost no bugs that pester more up-to-date users. They were all stating their hardware, comparing whose is newer and more advanced, and they all dissed my observations on a simple operating system "nah, impossible." But the logical conclusion is: the game was finished and optimized for Win7, then the core programmers left, and the bunch of new guys came and gone in turns simply slapping patches for Win10 which sometimes work glitch-free, sometimes not.

 

The same is with disconnects.

 

I have a disconnect once or twice a week, if at all, playing from Southeast of Europe. All is fine and dandy. Then for a day or two I stumble into battles with various forumites from North-West Europe and then the game starts to act up.

 

If I'm in the battle with players from a region comprised of Poland, Hungary, ex-Yu, Romania, Bulgaria & Greece, all is fine. Whenever I see players from UK, France, Spain, Netherlands etc, I have disconnects, or more likely SERIOUS lags, rubberbands, packet losses. Now you can talk impossibiru as much as you want, explain the way internet routes work, nodes and stuff, but this is how it works in the game. I don't know why, not my expertise, only a sure proven observation based on two years of constant gaming.

[GonerNL]

I doubt it ... 

What strikes me most is that all these disconnects ONLY happen when entering or finishing a battle. Never in mid-battle. If this really was a connection problem, you would have disconnects all the time anywhere in the game, but no ; only when leaving or entering the hangar ...  coincidence ?? Not bloody likely IMHO.

The same way you doubted running game on Win7 will bring any benefits? (or bugs having anything to do with the operating system?)

[GonerNL]

Yep.

I'm actually still running Windows 7, so I doubt that running Windows 10 in Win7 compatibility will improve things.

Because I have all the bugs some time or another. Sometimes it's less, sometimes not ...

Have you read any of the posts people who participate in this discussion wrote excited after they switched to Win7 compatibility? How 99% of the bugs have gone?

[Sidus_Preclarum]

Most of the bugs/decos I were experiencing still were there with the compatibilty mode but almost disappeared since I've decided to refrain myself from ever alt-tabbing out of and back in this game.

99% ? No, never read that. Plse point my ignorant nose in the right direction ... I know BravelyRanAway reported success, anybody else ?

I do however know 1 player personally who tried it and it solved 0% of his problems.
