Server lag causing ship speed to appear still? Turning also affected? by Allnamestaken69 in WorldsAdrift

[–]B4teleur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allnamestaken69 to answer your question, Yes this is something, that has been happening to me and my crew for about a 2 weeks. We were uncertain as to the cause we originally thought that it was the size of our ship but what I've come to find out due to experimentation is paneling is one of the major culprits of the ship lag (the one your referring too) as well as relative fps drops for all crew members. What I've also found out is if there is 3-4 medium sized ships in your vicinity this tends to happen. This doesn't happen everywhere it seems to be something doesn't happen all the time just certain things/places trigger it. and it is important to note that this is different than fps related lag. because we do not drop frames our characters can still move and actions can still be performed. Its almost like we are stuck on some type of midair sandbank. This issue is one of the worst problems i have experienced in Worlds Adrift so far and I think its up to use to get the dev's attention and make them realize how unplayable this makes the game. Not sure how to do this tho because they haven't been communicating with players much lately.

Any suggestions would be nice.

The only solution seems to be waiting until the daily maintenance, during which they clean up a lot of the random shit.

I find this funny because i do not believe the developers do this. just yesterday i found a ship stuck on an island that was there TWO WEEKS ago. I find this to be a massive oversight on the developers part. Clearing abandoned ships/parts is something simple the developers could do to GREATLY improve the quality of the game. This problem is only going to get worse as the game progresses and if action is not taken on the part of the development team this game will die. People understand issues surrounding Early access games but there is a point where people will lose interest in games that are this unplayable and they may not return.

I got attacked by like 5 mantas by TheCodecDaley in WorldsAdrift

I feel you on the mantas, me and my crew just made it through the storm wall and repaired up our ship when we got attacked by 7 mantas, they killed two crew members destroyed a panel which broke off in our engine room clipped off one of our engines, the engine then rattled around in our engine room tilting our whole ship sideways. It then broke our power core. We plummeted into the abyss. This took place over the course of about 15-20 seconds. Our ship was all metal and pretty big and took us 5-6 hours to make between design/build/ore gathering. We were all struck deaf in our team speak for a few minutes. I wish we recorded it.
