1000ms problem

[EitannnLpz]

Hello, does it happen to anyone else that when playing multiplayer it increases to 1000ms for those who are not hosting the game? always at this time of day

Ask the host. Multiplayer isn't hosted by Coffee Stain. The person hosting the games you are in must have something going on. Maybe the host has a kid that has school online and is using the internet in the house.

I have never had 1000ms in a multiplayer game that I have been in.

Might be the line to/from your host or the server...
In case of line issues, it could be even what is saying Nash, if server is from a service, it could be that service had overprovisioned the server

Obviously the host is perfect, no one is connected, but I also have to clarify that we are from Argentina and it is not the best internet in the world, but in no other game does it happen to us that it goes up to 1000ms

if you don't use an external server, one of you is hosting. And residential homes are known for lower band in upload... and at certain moment in the day there could be less than ideal bandwitdh because of over provisioning.

Eventually do a ping test on destination/server IP to check at different times of day for a reference... and during lag times

maybe it's the strict nat type?

That can give connection problems, but not lag...
If you can connect, isn't a nat issue

How do you know that?

The host needs to check around what' going on on their PC and network when those spikes are occurring. Something is perhaps slowing down the PC or using up the network bandwidth.

You're having some connectivity issues then. If it only happens during certain times of the day then it's not the game: it's quite clear that something happens that affects your connection.

are you landline or wi-fi connected...?

I discovered that the problem is in the game, we are in tier 6 and it is full of machines, and when creating a new game from 0 it works fine, there are no host problems, it is as if there is a lot of load in the game of tier 6

So it looks like the host PC can't handle the game when the save grows large.

Host Pc:
I7 9700f
3060ti
16gb ram 2666mhz

is not sufficient?

I passed the saved game to a friend with these specifications and it didn't work well either:
Ryzen 7 5700x
3070ti
32gb ram 3600mhz
