Graphics glitch issue

    Hello, I appear to be having frequent graphics issues while fleeted with a friend. Basically, it can happen at any point during a match, but graphics will start to bug out and it seems to happen to either person in the fleet, but not usually at the same time. Here's a list of what can happen:

    - Repair boxes will not disappear when consumed.
    - Repair boxes/napalms show the box/fire at source of shot instead of destination. For example, I shoot a repair box...the box appears under me and if I go to where I shot it I get healed by an invisible box. Note:. This is separate from the issue above and never happens at the same time.
    - Mortars, torpedoes, etc do not show any animation...I just take damage and don't know why.

    This makes it annoying to play as a fixer, especially when the boxes act weird. It very rarely happens when playing alone, but happens often when fleeted.

    I am currently using a Google Pixel and the person I fleet with uses a Samsung Galaxy 8 edge. Thank you for your time.

    This is still an issue... please get this fixed. Tired of having games where I can't see things happen.

    Could you post a video demonstrating the issue?

    I would be glad to, do you happen to have any Android video recording recommendations?

    Thanks that worked...here is the link:


    In this video it actually glitched in a few ways:
    - At 0:35, repair boxes start to show up at the source and not destination. I also can't see mortar target circles, but I can see torpedoes.
    - At 1:35, repair boxes start showing up at the destination, but not disappearing.
    - At 2:35, things go back to normal for some reason.

    It's interesting that these things happen about 1 minute apart. I will say, however, that this doesn't always happen 35 seconds in. Sometimes it begins as the match starts or even later in the match. I also noticed sometimes that when I repair bolt during this, I will hit a friendly target, but no healing will occur...as if the player isn't really there. It's like it's a bit out of sync.

    Could you also share the battle tag of that battle? You can see from the replay what the server saw happening. My guess is that you were just lagging very very badly, as in nothing was flowing over the internet for seconds. In that case the client prediction and the server truth can't match each others anymore and you see all kind of glitching.

    I see what you mean. I thought lag was indicated by the triangle under the timer. When I get a chance I will run a network plotter to verify lag during these events.

    The triangle is trying to indicate bad connection but there are situations where it does poor job on it.

    Yellow triangle means that ping is more than 1000 ms. The red triangle means no packets were received at all in the last 5000 ms.

    However, what happens for example if 49/50 packets are lost but the remaining go through quickly. No triangle because packets have been received in the previous 5 seconds, and the roundtrip of the successful packets is also less than 1 second. However, the game would still be totally unplayable and broken.

    I've had those issues playing fixer also, never correlated whether fleeting or alone. I play on Samsung galaxy s7 edge. These problems all started right after guild wars started.
