Issues with Ping since 8.3

Staz211's Photo Staz211 Jan 17 2013

So normally I run about 60 FPS and 30 Ping when I play WoT. However, since downloading 8.3 my ping has skyrocketed to 200 on average, making the game hard to play at times. Has anyone else had issues with ping/lang since the update?

Staz211,

I had the same issue when 8.2 came out.

Make absolutely sure you have the latest video drivers on your computer.   I thought I did, but after submitting a ticket to support, they responded and helped me get the most current drivers installed, they were a tremendous help.   That solved the problem for me.  Give it a shot.

Hope that helps.

My ping is around 280ms and having a lot of lag spikes.

thats how it was after 8.2 for me: my FPS went up and my Ping went down, but for some reason this update had kicked my ping up to around 200-250, making the game almost unplayable. Ive already missed some key shots and hit an ally once because the pin was so bad. Ive decided to stay of WoT for a while and see if it comes down on its own in a few hours, Though I doubt it will.

sigh never ceases to amaze me when people complain that this game is unplayable with a 200 ping .. best I have *ever* got is 260, most of the time my ping is 280-290  and average 27 fps, and for some reason only 5-8 fps on Dragons Ridge

This happens every patch. They keep trying to use DNS routing to make their bandwidth cost lower, but somebody always gets screwed.

IM sorry, but when my tank teleports 20 meters without me pressing a button, I find that to be unplayable.

patch 8.2 was a nightmare for me ping hitting 999 disconnects game freezing keyboard control
would even stop in the middle of game play. I had never seen so many problems and or bugs
in any patch before that one hope 8.3 is A LOT BETTER.

You are not sure how to update drivers ? thats pretty lame for some1 who uses a graphic-incentive program....

By the way, check which graphic card you have installed. then go to the respective website..the following are 2 of the most used graphic card company:
1. http://support.amd.c...SupportHub.aspx
2. http://www.geforce.com/drivers

Download and install. I hope this helps OR you can call the Pope.

Did you select the right option ? i mean there are two types of drivers: 1 for the notebooks/laptops nad the other for deski's..

If you selected the right stuff, then do onethng : initiate a clean/complete/full install...also make sure where you live, geographical locations soemtimes matter.. The one i provided you was North America..See if it helps..or i am send my email in a message..tell me your problems there..
