Improve Ping on SPB-GS servers?

[.:RibJegres.:]

Hey, i used to play on these SPB-GS servers with a fine Ping. But nowdays i get a Ping like 200 - 220. Is there a way to reduce my ping in KF2? To be more clear, iam talking about these SPB-GS servers, since my Ping on other Servers is fine.

If your provider is Telekom or one that mainly swapped to IPv6 you will be facing large connection issues in the future.
You can also try to connect to the server with a VPN (Proton VPN has good free ones for testing), preferably from your country and check your ping, if it's better it might be also a porting issue (NAT) and your connection is tunneled properly through the VPN.

source: I have the same 200-220 if I connected through my current provider who moved on from IPv4

a vpn won't actually help.
The ping you see is the ping between vpn and gameserver, but you don't see the ping between you and the vpn.
So it shows a lower number as it actually is.

If your ping issue is just at one particular server you should always check the ping from other player. If all ping are high its a serverissue and not client side. You can just ask the serverhost/admin to check the log, probably it's DOSed.
If its on your side you can check your taskmanager for your network, probably you have programs installed whith high networktraffic and it's just bad luck it's always on this server.
You can also check websites for internetspeed and ping testing, preferebly in the country the server you want to play is located.

VPNs display your true ping with marginal increase, your connection is being rerouted, not streamed or replaced. VPNs can't mask ping only increase it depending on how close the service is you chose.

Read what OP wrote, he doesn't have ping issues on other servers.

Generic Microsoft Help Desk advice, it's not his side locally speaking, it's his provider having issues with the connectivity to that server specifically.
