Lag in duels mode in the browser version

the game lags so badly in the duals mode, unranked and ranked its horrible. The map doesn’t load in the very beginning of each round and then you can’t pan or zoom without the game lagging out badly. Id love to see this issue fixed soon. Greetings

Hi, thank you for your patience. We have received an update that a fix has been deployed, we will not be closing this ticket and please do let us know if you continue to experience any issue.

Arvin

Lennin Thank you very much i will test it now but i am sure in the last few days it got less already maybe that was the update or those were smaller patches not sure. I will come back in a short time if it is still laggy or if other issues occur ;)

Arvin

Lenninokay so it got less laggy but the map in the spectator mode doesn’t seem to zoom in with the opponent, so its not synchronized. Also when listening to music, Spotify in my case, the game is a bit more laggy. This is a little non issue though and i am happy for the fix.

Lennin I would consider the issue "not fully fixed". After your announcement the other day, I actually feel like it was 50-70% better...... but not fully fixed. But tonight it was starting to feel almost as bad as before again. Only 2 games to judge by, so I will have to wait till a day when I have more time to play more to say for sure. But for the last few days I have felt like its slowly going back to how it was before your announcement.

FIX 1V1 MOVING DUELS LAG / BLURRINESS OF SCREEN & MAPS - July is over, no excuses now.

Canadagraphs

For the entirety of the break that the devs took, your game has been slowly getting more & more broken in the moving mode of 1v1 duels.
It has actually been a problem for a few months, slowly getting worse, but over the last 2-4 weeks while your devs were on vacay, it has been virtually unplayable.
Here is a 24 Minute video of some game plays I recorded (on my phone facing the screen..... so apologies for the cleanliness of the monitor) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiYzj5D--s0
Issues that come up include
FREQUENT BLACK SCREENS WHEN FAST MOVING (and honestly, occasionally even when 1 click moving)
MAP REMAINS BLURRY FOR MULTIPLE SECONDS, SOMETIMES PERMANENTLY (until you close the map and re-open it) this can happen with only slight delays of 1-2 seconds, to as much as permanently staying a blurry blob of land (even the shore lines arent sharp) with no borders for countries, let alone subregions, or city names.
FRAMES SOMETIMES TAKE 1-2 (EVEN 3-4 OCCASIONALLY) SECONDS TO UNBLUR. Which is a lot of time wasted waiting for info to unblur in a moving duel. This can happen any time in a round, from spawn point, till the end.
These issues DO NOT happen on google maps, they DO NOT happen on Map Making App. They only happen on Geoguessr. IN FACT, they only happen on 1v1 moving duels (afaik). I do not have the issues in solo maps (well black screens sometimes happen there, but at about 5% of the frequency), or in Battle Royales, or in Bullseye lobbies. etc etc etc.
I am on Mozilla 153.0
More questions, feel free to ask.
(edited because of someones hurt feelings. Happy now?)

I have already made a report on this topic and it even got 21 upvotes but it is stuck on „under review“ somehow and its been about a month since i wrote that report. I know y’all have holidays too but please make someone work off the most important things and the reports marked as „under review“. Thank you beforehand

I think you need a vacation. No need to be this insulting.

Canadagraphs

Major Bajor I respect your right to be completely wrong.

Major Bajor

Canadagraphs Mate you're over fifty years old, but you behave like a fifteen year old. Don't you have a job yourself? How would you like if someone told you you don't deserve vacation when your team is struggling?

Lennin Any update on sorting it out?

The problem seems to get worse by the day now. Ranked is unplayable. I have lost so many games due to just not being able to see things clearly, or, the speed moving having black frames, or, moving at like 50% of regular speed.

same for me

I've been having this too! Thought it was just that my laptop is kind of old, but it doesn't happen in other game modes. Seems to only be duels. Sometimes the map takes so long to fully load I've just had to plonk in a vague general area even when I had a specific city in mind. I have animation turned off and switched to raster map per internet suggestions, but still seeing heavy lag.
