Insanely high P2P ping while my other players are fine

[EdDilicious1337]

So my friend usually hosts our server, there's 4 of us in total, the other 3 including the host have really good ping most of the time below 20, with the exception of me. For some reason i always get insanely high ping, it started at around 80 when i connect and then randomly spike to 300 or even 5000 ~ 9000 from time to time.

We have all tried some of the solution such as disabling firewalls, EAC, change the host to a different player ( both EAC and firewalls are disabled on both end )

One of my friend suggested port forwarding but idk how it works
if you have experienced something similar please help me :((

Find your make and model of router/modem your isp sent you. Google "how to port forward on <name of router/modem>". If you don't know where your router is, call the support number of your ISP.

maybe i should be more specific about it, technically i can forward a port myself and i can enter my router's admin panel, but i don't know which port number it is, and the IP thing

This game used to default to port 26900. There may be easier ways to check but the first way I would use is to run windows resource monitor, in admin tools. Run 7dtd. connect to your friends server, and look in resource monitor under network tab and then TCP connections pane to see what ports are in use by 7dtd.exe (and everything else running on your system).

To find your local IP of your game machine, open a command console and use command "ipconfig". This will show your local IPv4 and IPv6 address. One or the other or both may be needed by the port forwarding menu on your router.

Maybe his PC can't handle it.
I have a friend that hosts our session and he doesn't really have the best computer it was fine for the most part but it noticeably craps whenever he's driving around the map at high speed. I might be wrong though and these are just unfortunate events.
