Server Location Question

[ImNotPro]

Hi everyone,

I would like to ask, are there any server for FO76 in South East Asia? For example a server in Singapore?

Wish to know before I buy it as I am having issue with the latency playing ESO in NA server.

Thank you.

Regards.

There are no Oceanic servers to my knowledge. Us Aussies also get the short end of the stick server wise for ping. Due to no close servers.

The Elder Scrolls Online has the same issue. Only two server locations:

North America
Europe

But no Oceanic....

Oh ok then. I was hoping for a server near our region.

Any chance they will open up new server near our region ?

They are a low effort developer. So the chance of that happening is very low.

I don't really get why you spread this information? The servers are amazon's servers and there is an oceanic one. If you don't know, simply don't respond or say "I'm curious too."

Heh. You are right. My bad.

Seems that Bethesda Game Studios are using Amazon GameLift.

They have servers in these Oceanic areas:

Singapore
Tokyo
Sydney
Seoul
Mumbai
Beijing

Sorry for my assumption. Thought it Would be like ESO servers.

Main reason I don't play ESO anymore was due to myself being located in Australia and no close servers. Hence ridiculous ping.

Oh so they do have server in Singapore?
Any source to reconfirm this ?


Same bro, I have stopped playing ESO due to the ping issue. I feel you bro.

Also hit up a few of my friends who play Fallout 76. They can confirm good ping.

As an engineer that works for a cloud provider, allow me to correct this one. AWS has a global data center (around the globe). But that doesn't mean any company using AWS will use all of the regions. It's up to the company which region they will use.

Logically, the game studio will deploy the game server closer to their consumer (gamer/us). But realistically they will focus on which region they have the biggest user base. Because running the game server is not free. And it does not make sense for a game studio like Bethesda to deploy their game server in Singapore or Sydney if they consider their user base there will not enough to cover the operational cost.

Exactly. AFAIK there is not a Fallout 76 server in Australia at all, despite there being AWS infrastructure. The closest game server for us in Australia is Japan.

There is no way that the lag we experience in game could be possible with a local server. I play online games where the server is only in US or in Europe and I get far better ping than what i get with Fallout 76. They simply cannot have a game server everywhere if the player numbers in certain regions do not justify it.

If there is an oceanic server, it's a bad one.

I played last night (South Australia) and there was a 1 second delay between events. Enemies were teleporting around the map. It's usually nowhere near this bad, but when it happens, it ruins the game.
