High ping

[▰Himura_Kenshin▰]

Tell me please. Since today, my game has been throwing on American servers (150+ ping). In all network models. Although I am a resident of Europe and have always played on European servers (40-60 ping). Has anyone encountered such a problem? Is this problem solvable at all, or will it always be like this now?

Same thing.

[Vendon]

Same 200+++ impossible to play

[Corvus]

If by American you mean USA, yes, same thing, im from América too, but south... seems like every server other than USA is down or something

[Vendon]

Well I am in EU and same issue. Both teams 200+ ping its like playing an 20 years old game.

[zolee]

Well, thanks to every1 who responded to this question. Once again, I am convinced that R6 is sinking more and more.

Thanks for getting in touch about your high ping levels and possible rubberbanding everyone.

To ensure the best possible connection to our servers please try all of our connectivity troubleshooting steps in our guide, to help improve your connection to try and help lower your ping >> https://ubi.li/YPwnl

Please also try enabling Vsync in the games menu and in your GPOU settings/control panel, as this can help prevent lag too >>
Inside R6 menu, go to Options > Display > Refresh Rate and set Vsync to 60Hz and lock the FPS

We also noticed players who used using Vsync 2 Frame in the setting in the past, would sometimes help decrease the ping rating they got.

If none of these steps work, please continue to tell us >

-What troubleshooting you have tried
-What data centre you are connected to when this happens
-What location you live in
-Who is your internet service provider

So we can report this to our Siege team for a specific datacentre, if the troubleshooting provided did not work.

Oh, I understand. If I turn on Vsync, I no longer connect to an Arabian server from Europe. Logical

damn you ubi, this is not new !
this is old bug, i got this for second time at around maestro ish operation

Thank you for your replies zolee and QueenMercury.

You will sometimes be placed on a different regional server than the actual area you live in, because the game will place you on 1 of 3 servers by default, that has the best ping results for your location. This will mean you may be placed on a different regional server, to what you would expect.

Server placement can also depend on the game mode played, your rank and how full that particular server is.

You can try and force the game to place you on a particular server by changing your config file using this guide > https://ubi.li/5aG7a

Please note, you will unable to make this change however, if you are connected to the Amazon Gamelift servers, this only works for our Playfab servers.
