Specifically, why am I getting 10-15 ping higher in LA 60t servers (135-155) than I am in Frankfurt-EU servers (130-140)? The distance from my house (east coast best coast) to LA is roughly 2600 miles while the distance from my house to EU is 3700 miles. Are these locations accurate? Are 60t servers simply prone to higher ping? etc.

Some people have reported random unexplained static ping increases that vary in how much it increased. I myself seemed to have shook off that problem recently but I wouldn't be surprised if that's what you're experiencing now.

It's funny how so much work has been put into server improvement and the servers are still fuzzy bunny. My ping on EU is 10-20 ms higher than what it was prior to the first network "improvement".

I have exactly the same problem actually. Also I experience some lags, microstuttering and hitreg problems for the last few days.

Still confused about how I've consistently had almost 2x the ping to LA that I did to USW when the servers were hosted on AWS. Thx 4 ur improvements devs

Yeah, still getting horrid ping spikes.  Had to sit on scrims the other night cuz my ping kept flopping around between 60 and 160 on dallas.  I live in Pennsy, USA.

 

Why is none of this a problem in any other game I play?  I mean there's lag, but not inconsistent lag or dropped packets like they were being transported in a colander.

Have myself a lot of trouble lately, it began around 2 or 3 weeks ago. Before Reloaded took this game over, it wasnt perfect, but playable. Somestimes i had laggspikes, but it was tolerabnle. Now if have often extremes.

 

1. Hit Registration is wrong

2. Tows/Grenandes coming out too late

3. Soundsbugs which is irritating to mee, because i need this to play this game in sync, if i can't trust what i hear iam off the board

4. sometimes i want to jump, instead iam just boosting on ground (Fuel is full)

5. teleporting

6. sometimes iam loosing out of the blue 80% hp and don'T even know why because there is no enemy in sight

7. i want to dodge but nothing happens 

 

Right now i don't trust the servers. Sometimes i can play fine and then suddenly everything is changing and i have pings above 300 with Frankfurt server and iam living in germany.

 

Before Reloaed games i had 40-80 Ping, after you bought the game and began to change things, i got better ping around 8-40, now i have 40-100 and sometimes above 200.

 

Its unplayable like this.

 

Kind Regards,

I would also like to say I'm trying to get a good friend of mine into the game later this month, and I am really not looking forward to the part of the conversation where I try to explain why he should bother playing when hitreg is a complete gamble.  I can explain away or excuse any other shortcoming, really, since my friend is a smart person who is good at games n stuff and he will hardly mind the goofy matchmaking since he will just adapt, but nobody wants their skill to be intercepted by something that isn't their fault or under their control at all, I.E. packet loss.

The issues for me are random in that they're there sometimes and other times gameplay is near if not completely flawless on my end. I think a dedicated thread to reporting the specific problems with times and listing the server would be useful. It might just be a large handful of servers because last night there was a 3 star game with 4 slots open on LA. I tried to join 12 times manually because it was right where I could see it to no avail. Seeing the game was still going on the heroku app, I hit the TDM button. It then immediately put me into a one star ashburn server. That's the worst ping for me and it was the lowest quality server available to me then save the ones out of my range. I don't understand what is going on

I've been having that problem for over a year.  I can see the match... it has plenty of open slots... but no matter what, I get the "This server is either full or not accepting new players." message.  If somebody else joins the match, then I can usually get in, but not until after them.  It happens whether their is an even or odd number of players... so it really doesn't make much sense.


To be serious for a moment this is just a joke

Tiggs made mention of changes coming soon during Merl's stream today. Hopefully we'll see better performance soon.

When Reloaded picked up the game Josh made a post iirc claiming that they reduced server costs significantly. My speculation, and I'm sure many others will agree, is that the price reduction is a result of hosting off of servers with noticeably less performance.

I'm not here to downgrade Reloaded as I have utmost respect for what they've done and I understand they're a business and need to make money. I just hope they are able to host games that are more enjoyable and smoother for the player base while also not placing a huge dent in their wallets.

This issue is still ongoing for me, except on Oregon servers.

 

Though now that I think about it, I haven't seen many Oregon servers active lately. The queue never seems to put people there.

I'm not sure why but I get 140-160 when I connect to the east coast. I thought I was connecting to china or something, hell might as well be. I do admit my ping has improved, it's solid 15 to 35 from west to mid US. Not sure whats happening on the east coast though, tornadoes?

Hold on to the things you care about most, even if others see it as insignificant..If you can't be true to yourself, are you really living?

I was playing tonight on one of the US servers and got the worst lag I've seen here in years. Mechs were teleporting all over. It was almost impossible to hit someone because their mech jumped 500 ft at a time sometimes. Hitting people with 4, 6, 8 tows and might as well throw spaghetti at them. Not that I would waste good spaghetti. Didn't run off though. Stayed thru it and got 3rd place so it was all good, LOL...........sorta. :rolleyes:
