As far as I know I am doing nothing unusual. Windows 10 stock, latest version of byond, load the server.
It wasn't until seeing your video that I realized I was actually getting a bugged experience.
I had been convinced that it was all fine even despite ping because of the "I live on the other side of the world and it's fine for me" guy.
You guys tricked me into thinking it's nornal lol.

Playing as a human is the exact same kind of imprecision minus the super speed. But if I go step by step it's fine. Same for ghost.

I want to help, and I want to play. Since clearly if the guy on the other side of the world is getting a better experience then I can at least hope to do as well as him.
What info do you need? What should I try? I am running everything completely default in the video.
Thank you very much!

Holy fuck that is definitely not normal, you poor bastard :cryblood: I've got worse ping and better movement as a ghost than the video you posted so something is off.

A start to troubleshoot wtf is going on would be hardware specs, and what your VMs allocated are if you're running the game in one. If you're on a VPN, what one you're using might help as well. Software versions and in game settings of anything that could affect performance in the slightest may help as well.

I agree ghosts are way too fucking fast and if you have a high ping, the screen can't keep up with the speed. Parts of it turn black as you run at 400mph.
 
Weird since I have the latest version of byond and dont have the issues (or noticed them)

Byond must do some really fucky things under the cover
 
Update
Goosts never had movement delay and it would appear the 515 client sends movement commands much faster than 514, resulting in extremely fast, jittery movement for goosts. Its possible low latency actually made it feel worse.

Goosts now have a movement delay of 1. I was going to set it to 2 since by the math that would make it the same as running humans but for whatever reason that felt terrible

Feedback time. Pic unrelated
  1. Shaft miners should have magboots spawn in their outpost;
  2. Airlock sensor in an entrance to the left wing of the Mining outpost does not work, didn't check if it's the same for the other entrance;
  3. EVA areas of the Asteroid aren't powered (like the lightbulbs along the path to the small western Outpost or the corridors outside said Outpost);
  4. You have to click at the items in your inventory with pixel-perfect accuracy in order to grab them. It would be neat if you could simply click on an inventory storage cell holding an object in order to interact with said object (trying to click on syringes was pain in the ass).

Updates
  • ECONOMY - MEDICAL - ntfleet mass-casualty event finally implemented to happen ingame
    • currently fires 15-25 minutes into the round every time if medical players are present, spawns 3-4 near-dead ntfleet dudes
    • for those not aware, this is an event that was tested in the past wherein NPC medical casualties are ferried over for treatment, which has cash rewards
    • new event manager framework established that is more flexible/actually useful for adding future events
  • MEDICAL - new pulverizer medical contract scanner sprite incorporated (half assed old one not shown)
    • 1711600968168.png
  • Noticeably improved smoothness reported after the server migrated to version 515, I will take credit for all performance gains
    1711596266774.png
  • meteors nerfed again
  • machine race not joinable for now (it just seems really half assed) (borgs can still join this doesn't relate to that)
  • if you click 'observe' from the lobby you can now respawn right away
  • MINING - mining outpost external lights should work again (added APC)
  • MINING - mining outpost exterior access buttons moved to live inside of the outpost areas, so that if exterior loses power they should still pull from interior power
  • MINING - added magboots to the miner voidsuit racks on the outpost (imo magboots should be fairly mundane)
  • blob buffed a bit (8s tick instead of 10s)

I gave the server a try after this and the game runs amazing! I hardly notice lag anymore, even though ping is the same.
The QoL stuff suggested earlier like being able to click the cell not the item, being able to right click to examine items in the inventory, and being able to open boxes by clicking in the inventory would really make things perfect.
It's unfortunate that most players we got from Null's shilling probably got quickly turned away by the bug.

I don't think that's true. It's just that SS13's core audience is too niche so 99% of the people that saw the feature didn't care.

You could put this server in the eyes of a million people and only 50 of them would end up playing. Reviera Station (aka Kiwi Station 13) needs more word of mouth shilling.

maybe we should advertise in the ban appeal threads of other more popular stations “are you tired of getting banned for mean words? Try space station K13i”

And expose the server to the rejects of some mid server? No thank you.

semi agree. We want the people banned for saying the N word, not the people banned for purposefully ruining fun for others.

Does being racist automatically make you intelligent? If that's the case, let's start inviting Nick Fuentes' followers to Kiwi Farms.

How do you know the people that said nigger didn't also do that? It's just not going to work. Our best hope is finding another oldfag forum like 4chan, but without cringe, where we can shill freely.

I'm not against the idea of trying to recruit from elsewhere. The ban appeal concept has promise, but would definitely need to take into account the server. Somewhere like TG has got to be massively cucked by now, anyone still playing would have to of been drinking troon piss for years. It would be all "i dunno guys, i am okey with saying 'nigger' if its tasteful and in good fun, but im starting to think you are all crazy antisemites and other things, also have you considered making the station more grimdark?"
