Spending time on any of the possible suggested causes other than the game servers is a huge waste of time, of you know your machine and connection is up to scratch. I have tried the game after the update on 3 different connections, and 3 different pcs. the lag was there on all of them. It’s the poorly serviced WG servers. End of.

In my case the problems persisted untill this week, when i disabled overclocking on my CPU (I7 975 extreme edition)

Suddenly everything worked as before.

I’m getting the low fps intermittently since the 8.8 update. Running an Asus G72GX with Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo P8700 @ 2.53ghz, 6g RAM DDR2, NVIDIA GTX260M. In 8.7 I usually had 70-105 FPS and ping under 100ms. Now with game set on low or minimum graphics, I can still hit those speeds, but get periods where FPS drops to 5-12 but ping still shows under 100ms. No changes in my system since the update, no problems with my carrier. They done broke somethin’, or swapped some routing to a crappy carrier. Gotten this on both the NA East and NA West servers, it can be for short periods in the middle of a game, or can last an hour. Laptop’s a few years old, but it’s more than enough system to handle the game, I was previously running on High/Maximum when I didn’t have an external monitor hooked up.

Same with NA server i live on west coast that isnt used for anything but pubs and my spike lag is so bad i spend at least 2 minutes a match not able to move or “skipping” across the map but the east server is perfectly fine but my ping is around 500ms rather than 30ms on west

Asia serve as well. Sliding tanks, hopping tanks, tanks digging into the ground only since 8.8. Time to stop this WoT nonsense, too many low life power-trippers in this game anyway.

Yes, have the same problem. In all previous versions I had a decent no. of FPS nw I have about 9, 10pfs. I can also perceive huge lags in the game interface itself (garage, shop, statistics, etc.) – not only in battles themselves.

I had similar problem, that is WoT related and been since ages. When you go in and out of artillery mode your comp has to reload EVERYTHING on your current position or your reticles position, that is just how bad it can get, if there would be less compressed and not send information this would not happen. All because of ‘saving’ … It is like you can’t see how a tank drives behind building because server is saving ‘uninimportant data’ being sent to client.

Bad coding is bad.

never said they are, random disconnects are either a connection problem or some other unrelated bug. I was respondong to the OP regarding the possible reason behind the 2 systems where he experienced lag.

Reminds me of their ‘automatic friendly fire detector’ a while back… They ate their words quite fast as well as the ‘no need for more bot complaints we have good system’ … ;)
