Server stability issues

    Hi there,

    I’m not sure if this has been an issue for others but for me an my crew it’s been consistent over the last week to warrant a post.

    We are just finding the gameplay experience as been rather janky. Almost feels like lag so I did all the usual resets and checked other games but no improvements sadly. Other games work fine though. However, everyone I sail with has the same issues at the moment. (All crew members are in Aus if it’s an Aus server issue).

    Otherwise the consistent issues are;

    • running a few steps forward with every few steps yielding one or two steps back.
    • jumping on screen however the game itself doesn’t think you’ve jumped. Especially noticeable when jumping over things and being stuck on a rail, or jumping off the ship and going straight into the water or sword lunge jumps turning into normal lunges without the jump.
    • harpoon inconsistency. Shooting off awkwardly, at weird times, needing to shoot twice for it to register it once (same with cannons)

    It’s only been over the last week like I said but it’s been giving us a lot of headaches (not through frustration but rather giving us physical headaches due to all the jumps)

    Hope I’m not crossing a line offering this as feedback but will have a break from the game for awhile until we see it’s fixed.

    it's been rough on my end.

    weird fps issues lots of lag/ping issues. Lots of odd glitches that just randomly happen or happen the entire session

    I haven't really been able to perform very well lately in pvp because of everything outside of actual skill and gameplay performance. Throw on the hit reg and stuff and this 5 minute blackscreen I seem to be getting more often when taking a mermaid or loading back in from the ferry and it's just not something I can get too into currently

    I sailed 3x in the past 2 days, and the only issues I have had have been from my own end of the networking spectrum.

    @galactic-geek well at least your end is working, just sailed with a few others and again all having the same problems still.

    Just constant jumps and pauses. Not a console either. One had Xbox one, one has Xbox one x, myself and one other have the series x and one on PC all the same issue sadly.

    Yeah not sure the cause. We are getting it as soon as we spawn in all the way to the end of the game session.

    Maybe that's part of your problem?

    In all likelihood, though, I'm willing to bet it's a distance/regional issue. Try and see if other Australians outside of your initial crew have similar issues.

    @galactic-geek well yeah that’s what I was getting at in my initial post and hence why I emphasised that my region was Aus.

    Tried again today with someone else with Aus and issue is still there so we are playing on the insiders instead which has no problems whatsoever ironically (not breaking NDA, just stating that there’s a night and day different with stability)

    I’ll see if my American friend has the same issues when he’s on and see what happens.

    @galactic-geek just an update, my crew mate from America has had similar issues but not to our extent. So I’m guessing it’s a server thing for the region.

    Tested it for a few minutes this morning and still just a mess. I’ll probably have an extensive break from the game I think haha
