Some additional info: We normally start playing at 18:00 MESZ. Over the last week we always had a very bad performance of the server. But the last two days it was unplayable.

Thank you, we will investigate.

Hello, can you please do a traceroute towards the server and post the results here? Thank you!

Geez.... All nitrado servers has performance problems, moving official servers to nitrado is your worst decision. Moving all servers to multiplay.com instead.

Hey Geez, thanks for your reply. Added you find the screenshot of the traceroute.
It seems that the server performance today was better (my mates told me). Hope it stays on that level.
I agree to In-Whisky: We played on 2-3 Nitrado servers and usually had some yellow to red connection smybol. We never had that on Multiplay servers.

Hey Geez,
yesterday we started with a very good server performance on DE 1281 at 18:00 MESZ. But at 19:30 MESZ the performance of the server went down. We had the yellow and red connection smybol all the time. Furthermore there was a speed and aimhacker on the server that murdered the geared people.

The official servers are extremely bad and unstable.
Take that as a fact. I have played and play on them myself.
Attempts to use transportation usually end up crashing due to server instability.
Why they can't afford normal servers that can handle the full load, I don't know. But they also can not increase the number of servers while reducing the maximum number of players on the server. It's extremely silly.

Can you please try once again on the very same server? 1281 and let us know?
Thank you!

There you go!

Apologies for not specifying. I ment to play on the server :)

I am currently. Performance seems ok at the moment. No yellow or red symbol

Thank you!

please let us know if thsi changes in the peak hours.

Hey. The server performance went down again. We got the constant yellow symbol

Yes I could do that but not for 1281 anymore. On Friday we checked out different dayz EU DE server. E.g. 1218 and three others i forgot the numbers of. All four server had a red connection symbol right after joining and performed pretty bad. At the end we joined 1254 which at the start performed good but later the evening went to yellow symbol. Our session yesterday on 1254 was awful. Constantly with red symbol and getting disconnected from the server. You cannot fight players that are lagging so hard and whilst getting disconnected right infront of their base. That is no fun. You should really investigate the overall bad server performance after the switch to nitrado. If i can help you with more info or data feel free to ask. We love the game and want to enjoy it. But atm it is not possible.

Can you please try either of these servers?

DayZ EU - DE 1260
DayZ EU - DE 1239
DayZ EU - DE 1209
DayZ EU - DE 1215
DayZ EU - DE 1269
DayZ EU - DE 1206
DayZ EU - DE 1212
DayZ EU - DE 1251 (Experimental/Unstable)

And send us the traceroute statistics from one of these then? (Ideally if issues are occurring)

DayZ EU - DE 1218
DayZ EU - DE 1281
DayZ EU - DE 1263
DayZ EU - DE 1203
DayZ EU - DE 1278
DayZ EU - DE 1200
DayZ Livonia EU - DE 1233 (Experimental/Unstable)

any of these will also do.

Same here for DE 1206!

When playing on the server, a red or orange symbol often appears in the corner of the screen, indicating a potentially poor connection to the server. On these occasions, I have measured the ping, which remained stable between 20 and 30 ms.

When the red or orange symbol appears in the corner, for example, doors of buildings or bases often open with significant delay after the interaction in the game has already been triggered, and driving vehicles becomes practically impossible because the vehicles react unpredictably (rubberbanding).

There are frequent connection drops (up to 5 in an hour on some days), either for individual players or simultaneously for several of us who get disconnected from the game.

During a connection drop while in a car, it often happens that one gets logged out, logs back in, and finds the car crashed into a wall, broken, and oneself dead.

After rejoining, sometimes one ends up in a queue with up to 10-15 players. This indicates that other players are also getting disconnected from the game at the same times.

I have tried contacting Nitrado about the issue directly, but they refuse to open a support case because it's not my server.

Here's my traceroute to DE 1206 as of right now, will do one again as soon as the connection drops again:

Diruder you perfectly described the situation as it is suitable to 1254 and the other servers we played on.
What we could see in the server browser were very high ping increases and decreases. But not on our traceroutes we have done so far.

Geez how many fps are the servers running? Because i think the problem is not the connection, the potato servers instead.

I never se connection warning icons, but the server fps icons almost always..

So right now, the server DE 1206 is lagging for me and i have the red symbol in the corner of the screen.

Here's my traceroute:

tracert 46.251.235.4

  5    13 ms    12 ms    12 ms  46.251.235.4

Here's a countionous ping test:

Edit: After these measurements i had several connection drops again this evening. I tried to repeat the measurements in the moments that this would happen but couldn't see any difference apart from 1 or 2 ms.

I would be really glad if you could look into this issue!

We started playing on 1254 again at 18:00 MESZ with a group of 4 people. The start was solid with no problems. After 15 minutes we got a constant yellow for 15 min and then a red symbol. Every now and then we had no symbol. That lasted only for few minutes then red/yellow again. All mates had the symbol for the same time. So the problem is not player specific. There is an issue with your servers.

Hey Geez,
just to give you an update: Since two days we had no issues on 1254. No yellow or red symbol. Performance seems pretty good. Hope it stays that way.

Thank you.
Though 1254 is not on neither of these two lists we gave you to try. Therefore the data is not as relevant for us.
Regards,
Geez

@In-Whisky @Permyack
Have you noticed any performance improvements over the last day or two?

I play on tuesday night and the server is terrible. Now it works, but sometimes has some delay, but i try a little bit later.

Thank you for looking into this issue. I have the feeling, that it's gotten better, but i still see a red symbol in the corner and just got disconnected for the second time in the last 15 min on DE 1206. So unfortunatly it's still not good.
