Got yelled at today by an EU player when I lagged and hit their car. I honestly don't think a majority of the playerbase here knows just how bad it is driving at a consistent 100+ ping so I decided to capture some footage of me driving around and obeying traffic laws with an overlay of my keyboard input so you can see the delay yourself. This isn't the worst that I've experienced but this has been consistent on any EU Gmod server that I've ever played on. Driving faster or a car with faster acceleration (Reventon) just magnifies this issue and is the sole reason I don't drive my Reventon at all. I also rarely participate in police pursuits just because I'm more likely to crash than do anything useful.






Key info:
This is 64bit Gmod but haven't noticed any performance difference from 32bit.
No startup commands were running.
Ping was stable around 100-120 but spiked to around 160 (from what I recorded).

Specs:
Ryzen 5 1600 3.2Ghz
GTX 1050 Ti 4GB
16GB DDR4-3200



As a US player on an EU server driving has always been this bad for us. Back when we had the US server it wasn't completely resolved (since server was in a weird location so ping was higher than usual) but it was at least somewhat better. Crappy FPS I can deal with but input delay can be a dealbreaker since it's much more frustrating to deal with.

Funny you mention that, I'm actually moving 2 hours closer and getting Google Fiber so we'll see if there's an improvement.

Could always bring back a US server in the meantime <3

It used to fund itself, we'd have 30+ people on every night when the EU server was dead
