Delay launching torpedoes from multiple tubes

[Tordenskiold]

Lately I've noticed that when I'm trying to drop torpedoes, there is a several seconds delay until I can launch the next set of torps from my already loaded tubes. Sometimes the delay can be up to 5 seconds. Is this something new in 0.5.11? Is this my computer being too slow? Is this normal? Has anyone else seen something similar?

 

It's annoying as hell when i have a small launch window inbetween islands. Often it stops me from dropping my whole load when i want to.

The LAG is real my friend.

Probably a glitch, or a new feature implemented to keep everyone else's torpedoes as slow launching as the single torpedo launching, soon to be released British CL line.

Lag.  Look at your network, what's your connection to the game look like?

 

Nothing should ever prevent someone from dropping their whole load when they want to.

Lag indeed.

 

Please don't start two threads for the same issue.

His network lag is probably so bad he didn't even know he started two...

The ping counter in game usually looks fine. I don't see any spikes or rubberbanding and teleporting players, so at the first pass i guess my network is fine. I wonder if I'm having performance issues with the game itself, as i was experimenting with user music.

At least i know this isn't normal and that's a good place to start.

Sorry about the double post. Something happened when i tried to start the thread on my phone.

Mods, please delete the orher thread or merge the two. I wasn't trying to spam.

It could be that, if you were in a turn or swinging to launch from the other side of your ship, that the tubes took those seconds to traverse to the new bearing.

No, i know that effect very well. What I'm seeing is I'm broadside to my victim, i launch a set of torps, and my sector turns yellow for several second and my torp spread/launch indicator disappears. Several seconds go by and the sector goes green and the launch indicator shows up.

1st thing to do whenever this kinda wierdness occurs is to logout and run the file integrity check from the launcher.

 

Open launcher, top right under "Settings", the "Support" tab has a "Check" button. Only takes a few minutes.

 

Once the files have been checked for errors and potentially corrected THEN you record replays and ask for explanations. Could be a file corruption or could be an error or could be one of those "undocumented game features" (bugs).

I've noticed something similar, but for me it has to do with how fast and far the next torpedo launcher has to swing around to follow the target.  Check to make sure that this is not happening when you're trying to launch torpedoes while turning in or away from your target as the launchers sometimes cannot turn fast enough making your torpedo arc turn yellow for a few seconds.
