negative ping

I'm sorry to hear that's occurring for you.

What Datacenter are you connected to? Do you use any connection changing software such as a VPN or Tunneling software? If so please test with this disabled.

This is happening to me too. I see posts popping up everywhere about this, nothing on my end has changed but for the last month I have been unable to play siege.

My ticket is here: 09292432

So far no suggestions have helped at all.

I'm sorry to hear that, bugshair

Could you confirm the questions I asked above?

Cheers!

Freshly installed Windows, no VPN downloaded yet.

Data center is CUS, but it seems to jump to wherever if I set my data center to automatic.

Here are some threads that are popping up about this. Just looking at patterns, it looks like people with Ryzen processors are experiencing this more than Intel:

Thanks for providing those links.

Are you overclocking at all? This is something that some of the users mention in their posts.

Yea I was overclocking my CPU, I set it back to default and the problem still persists, unfortunately. I have been overclocking the whole time I've played siege, and it never was a problem.

Thanks for the suggestion though! Any other information would be huge.

Did you solve this problem? I guess I'm having the same problem you were dealing with.
If you solved it, please help me.

Im having the same problem, its a huge deal breaker because siege was one of my favorite games, but its hard to when my ping is -425243252345ms (its literally a random sequence of numbers with a negative in the front).

It says my data center is sbr, and usually it should be in the North Americas. In the bottom left (i have display fps on), it says my ping is 3252... and my fps is at zero even though the background is playing and i can go through menus.

Hey there,

So I was overclocked in the BIOS, my mistake. I thought I was only overclocked via software level (Ryzen Master).

After removing my CPU overclock in BIOS, all went back to normal. Thanks, UbiBaron.

However, this does seem strange. I've been overclocked forever and it is extremely stable. Is this something you could please look into UbiBaron? It seems that there is something going wrong with this latest build and Ryzen overclocks in specific.

Have a good one all, and I hope this helps someone out there.

Intresting, my CPU isnt overclocked and im still having that problem

[UbiGinge]

Hey Cayde-6!

Do you use any software that can change your connection? (example VPN/Tunneling)
If you are, can you disable this software and see if the issue persists
What datacenter are you connected to?

No, i dont use any software that can change my connection.

It says im connected to sbr, but i cant quite figure out how to change that

I've been having the same problem for a month now no overclock no connection software and its really frustrating. I cant even play solo terrorist hunt the game is broken.
