    Thread: In game lags - feedback on recent improvements

    Hi everyone!

    A number of different optimizations were applied with the recent client and server updates. You should therefore start seeing improvements with the game’s performance.

    In order to estimate the impact of such updates, we would like to do a new round of feedback regarding delays when you load the game or a map. By installing the latest client of the game, did you notice any improvements on those features?

    If you are still experiencing abnormally slow loading times (include the loading that directly follows an account swap), please let us know about it. To speed up the investigation process, please also provide:

    • Your in game invite code and name
    • Your current client version (can be viewed in app settings of your device)
    • Your device’s information (model and OS version)
    • If possible, your latest ranking in any event



    We thank you all for your help and dedication!

    Have fun in game!

    Karrazz

    Its really hard to tell when nothing is going on, but I can say the lag trying to collect and produce syndicate base materials is still ridiculous.
    When I go into dh's acct on ios, its all quick, tap,tap,tap,done. On android, its still working at a snails pace.

    Load time has gone from five or six minutes to around two, so I'm very pleased with that. It still takes an age to open any section in the store, or opening inventory. When I was checking the version just now and tapped to close the version pop-up it took quite a while to respond.

    Lag is definitely worse. Seriously, is it ever going to improve?!?
    From collecting $, switching accounts, SB production, and attacking during bfec is excruciatingly painful. No way should it take so long to hit someone and wait so long for it to register.

    With iOS updated and fresh install of CC I haven’t had any issues with game play or lag. Recently contacted support and my issue was resolved in a timely and friendly manner.

    Lag lag lag and then just for fun, some more lag!

    Lag had gotten significantly worse.

    Here are some times to give you an idea of how bad it has gotten:
    Time to completely open the game, One minute fifty five seconds.
    Time to collect cash, 28 seconds.
    Time to upgrade building, 27 seconds.
    Time to use all energy, 24 seconds.
    Time to summon Raid Boss, 36 seconds.
    Time to kill Raid Boss, 23 seconds.

    Here is where the suckfest really begins in earnest:
    Time to buy item from black market, one minute fifteen seconds.
    Time to open sawmill, collect wood and start producing again, TWO MINUTES THIRTY FOUR SECONDS.

    This game has slowly become unplayable. It takes way too long to do anything. I don't even go to syndicate base anymore.

    What happened to the great bug killer?

    iOS is fine after the fix. The Android fixes did nothing except make it slower. The device makes no difference. I have the latest Experia tablet and my 5 year old Nexus 7 is about the same speed.

    The changes to the districts is completely idiotic. It has no effect on performance but now you have to wait for districts to download!!!! That makes things even slower. With the time and effort that went into that waste of time, you could have done something useful like start to clean up the inventory. Start with something simple like the SA items. I could script that in about half an hour.

    How do you eat an elephant? On piece at a time. There are a lot of little things you can do that will add up. Unless you get rid of more inventory items than you add, it will only get slower. I still don’t understand Greg’s response to the suggestion of rationalising the inventory (September meeting). Surely you can simply remove items once you’ve zero’d the values?

    If memory is the issue, get your devs to make sure that all the variables are held in arrays, not individually. That makes a massive difference to memory usage.

    Its hard to remain competitive when you can't do anything within a reasonable time frame.
    Why the hell should it take over 10 minutes to produce 5 materials in the Syndicate Base? And 10 minutes is being generous.
    It sucks, period.


    What exactly prompted the latest forced Android update? Were any issues even addressed/fixed? Doesn't look like it.
    Lag is actually worse.
    Still cannot delete syndicate forum posts.
    Help/contact email address still wrong.
    Raid Boss leaderboards still don't work.
    Blah, blah, blah, etc and so on...

    Here's some more feedback on the recent updates:

    I can no longer one click clear jobs. I can use all of my energy but if I try to clear just one or two goals, I get the following message, "We Encountered an Error Please close and reopen the window" I close and reopen it and its just says the same thing over and over.

    Time to kill a single boss averaged out over six bosses, 57 seconds.
    Time just to switch from revenge tab to syndicate revenge tab averaged over six taps, 38 seconds.

    This game is just painful to "play"!

    How am I supposed to compete with other players when it takes so long to do anything?

    I lost 15 gold to the stupid lag today. Tapped to fight the boss, but nothing happened and the button colour didn't go darker like it normally does; thought I hadn't done it properly so hit it again only to trigger a gold hit. Not happy at all
