I am just curious how many people have connection instability (unstable connection warnings) to one or more regions (servers). Wondering if its just an unlucky few of us… or if many people are having issues and just learning to live with it.
Never have connection issues to any planet or region
Have occasional connection issues to one planet or region
Have occasional connection issues to multiple regions
Have frequent connection issues to one planet or region
Have frequent connection issues to multiple regions
The only time I get a connection issue is when I’m going through the portal to the TNT megahub. It usually resolves itself within 15 seconds. Other than that I feel like my connection is the same no matter where I go or what planet I’m on
Any planet thats not in the aus region, i will have unstable connection warnings from time to time. However its mostly due to the horrible internet here in australia
Every since I upgraded my modem I don’t get bad connection issues really anymore. When I do I’m guessing its something to do with the something out of my control. Though since upgrading a month ago I have only had unstable connection once.
Complicated for me - on PC, playing somewhere with a great connection, very rare to have problems anywhere. PS4 with bad home connection, fairly frequent issues, especially on the AUS worlds. Ah well, bad internet an acceptable price to pay to live somewhere beautiful I guess.
PS4, UK, at night, every night. When I travel to a portal to another planet my guy goes crazy for about 30 seconds, bopping up and down and nodding his head in furious agreement, then zaps back to where the portal was then everything is fine.
Yeah, I think all in all its clearly not the actual servers since connection issues vary per player. With that being said, it looks like a large percentage of voters do have connection issues to at least one region. I guess this would not be as big of an issue if each region had its own set of identical resources, but kinda by design we have to utilize other regions so I wish there was something that could be done.
For me, it has become super frustrating at the moment because up until recently Aus was by far the best connection (and still is in the mornings) for me so just made sense to set up roots on Aus server, but now Aus is completely unplayable for me after around lunch time so I can’t do anything at home base after work at all.
Moving bases concerns me because I have no idea if next month Aus will be fine and a different server will be unplayable.
Currently only Aus giving me trouble, and only in the afternoons for me here. But in the past it was EU that always gave me issues… the inconstancy is maddening sometimes.
One good thing to come from this (for me anyway) is that it has pushed me away from a rental planet when they go live. I was excited for them, but if I can’t trust that I will be able to continue to connect to it without issues then I will have to pass. Good to have sorted that out prior to them starting instead of after.
so weird as i recall you speak dutch so i asume your in europe
somewhere i think you need to look into your internet provider our something
def something in those lines need get sorted
i play on very weak pc and need lower a bunch off stuff to play decent but the internet always works perfect
not me… I am in South Korea. If the problem was my internet then it would be all servers not just one so it is something between me and the server, likely somewhere when the internet connection reaches Aus right now.
Doesnt work, but no biggie. I have ran hundreds of pings and tracert to try to ID the issue and it changes frequently and varies per time of day.
At the end of the day I realize that not everyone has connection issues and it will always depend on a variety of factors. This poll was more to see if it is a widespread thing or just a few of us.
Im in the uk, I only get a tiny bit of rubber-banding when I run through portals and that only lasts for a couple of seconds and that’s all servers. In terms of actual connection issues it’s very rare and even then it only lasts for a few seconds no matter how far the server is. I’m using wifi so if I wired it in I probably wouldn’t even get those minor hiccups. When I first got the game in 2017 I was having major problems but then upgraded my broadband to fiber and changed service provider and so far, touch wood, it’s been fine even to the Aus servers.
My connection was like that too, until semi recently. I rarely had issues on any servers. My major issues started within the last month and the identical issues exist for me wired on my PC at home, wireless for my daughter on PS4 and even via my phones wifi hotspot while at work.
No matter the connection I start from, Aus in the afternoons / evenings is unplayable from here at the moment… but I don’t doubt that something will change and in a couple of weeks Aus will be perfect again and then maybe EU will be unplayable for me.
Frustrating enough that I actually updated NMS for the first time in many months so I have something to play this weekend.
Should make it clear that I do not blame the Boundless Devs for this… I know it is something between me and the servers, but unplayable is unplayable no matter the cause when its outside of my own control.
Back when I started, Minorengle was unplayable during specific times of day… even though I’m in USW. I went to a USE planet, and they never gave me issues.
Sorry for your problem Soju, maybe were just suggested(or maybe uneusfull) but have you tried use VPN?
If you need some help to makes all the things running in game i would more then happy to do whatever you need.
