Some of you have been pointing out higher than expected ping when playing HAWKEN and I'm trying to get a bit more information to try and figure out what might be causing it. I'm not looking for gameplay clips showing or proving the impact of your latency, just information that might help to track down the problem. If you are indeed having latency issues, I'll start high level and ask you for the following pieces of delicious information:

1. Approximate Average Ping Being Shown During Gameplay
2. Your Physical Region
3. Region of Server You're Connected to When Playing
4. Did you always have the reported latency you have now_ Did it get worse at some point_ If so, how long ago and what was it before it got worse_

Thanks!

1. Approximate Average Ping Being Shown During Gameplay: 80/120/120
2. Your Physical Region: montreal canada
3. Region of Server You're Connected to When Playing East/West/UK
4. Did you always have the reported latency you have now_ Did it get worse at some point_ If so, how long ago and what was it before it got worse_ I haven't played with a reliable connection in over a month. it was never stable and always varied between 80 and 100 on east and 120-160 on west. The ping seemed to fluctuate based on population on the server and/or amount of time spent on the server.

Click me! I dare you.

1. 130-140
2. Russia/Orenburg
3. UK
4. My ping was 90-100 before the Reaper update and started to get worse every single patch. Now it varies from 130 to 190 in worst cases.

1. 110-140 (Anything outside of US East, 220+)

2. Puerto Rico

3. US East

4. Has always been like this. But now, during the day, let's say 12 noon - 11pm my ping will not go below 200+. I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt here, and check to see if it's the ISP I'm currently using that's causing the problem and not the servers themselves.

1. Approximate Average Ping Being Shown During Gameplay: 80 when on US servers, between 130 and 160 on UK Servers

2. Your Physical Region: US East

3. Region of Server You're Connected to When Playing: 90% of the time UK servers, 10% of the US servers

4. Did you always have the reported latency you have now_ Did it get worse at some point_ If so, how long ago and what was it before it got worse_

I used to have between 30 and 60 ping on US servers and between 80 and 120 ping on UK servers. Shortly after the Heatsink patch I started having the much worse ping I mentioned in the first question. It is is a pretty consistent ping withing the ranges I gave above in question 1, though sometimes in random matches the latency issues will disappear even though it will still give me the bad ping range.

Interestingly enough though, the ping problem I had since I started playing Hawken where I would randomly hit 1000 ping and then after a few seconds rapidly drop down to normal ping has stopped happening entirely the same time this new ping problem appeared. The plot thickens eh_

Thanks for trying to get to the bottom of this Hughes even with your busy schedule. :)

1. Approximate Average Ping Being Shown During Gameplay:
200

2. Your Physical Region
Belgium

3. Region of Server You're Connected to When Playing
USA due to higher activity (else would be UK with 60 ping)

4. Did you always have the reported latency you have now_ Did it get worse at some point_ If so, how long ago and what was it before it got worse_
I always had high ping, it's the FPS that do it for me. Listening to a long youtube video helps GREATLY with the frames. So I have no Issue. (just posting to help :)).

2. Poland
3. UK
4. Yes, worst cases. 180

Because these servers are only in the U.S.

1) 196 at the start of open beta. Has gone up to 240 in recent months
2) south africa
3) uk
4) used to be 196 at start of OB. More recently is closer to 240 but has been slowly creeping up.

Unfortunately the internet in my region is managed and maintained by a government company who hire IT technicians who can't run a virus scan (I am genuinely not kidding) so the problem could be at my end.

1)  approximately ping at 130 , .. on the good days 112 - 120 ... rarely .

2)  north africa (tetouan).

3)  back when i started playing in february in the UK servers , ping was +90 . now its +130  (also used to play in US west servers with +215 ping, now +270 ).

4)  ping is getting higher toward the worst .

my problem this week : ping jumps from +120 to +800 in one second, and it stays like that until i restart the game, and then same problem again, i've had this problem a few times before .

also lately it shows that i have +130 ping, but the gameplay doesn't feel like it , feels like im playing with a +500 ping.

1. Between 32-52 East - 100-120 west
2. Near NYC
3. East/West USA
4. I have had 32-52 ping east for the longest time and it has remained constant (usually around 40). West use to be playable till after the tech update. Now, I am lucky to get under 120, usuauly things are between 130-150. The game is completely unplayable at that latency with certain mechs.


However, one issue that I have noticed is lag spikes and teleportation since about mid august and has been getting worse.

1. Approximate Average Ping Being Shown During Gameplay

UK
Between 21:00 to 24:00 GMT+1: usually above 150 ms, mostly more than 200 ms
After 24:00 GMT+1: < 100 ms

US
Most times clearly above 200 ms, but sometimes better than the UK

2. Your Physical Region

Munich, Germany

3. Region of Server You're Connected to When Playing

UK & US  

4. Did you always have the reported latency you have now_ Did it get worse at some point_ If so, how long ago and what was it before it got worse_

I've started playing about 4 weeks ago and it was always as bad as it is. ;) In SW:TOR, with its servers located in Ireland, my ping is almost constant 50 ms.
