Whats wrong with servers? High ping for no reason
(I have a stable cable connection with more than enough download/upload speed. This issue im going to describe only happens with this game. Not with any other online games i play.)

I normally play on 45-50 ping on EU server but at some hours it spikes up to 200-300 range and i cant play the game at all. Just look at this screenshot. How is it that USA East 159 ping while EU is 288?

Seriously is there anything i can do on my end to fix this?

rofl, indeed.

@O.P.
It looks like a congestion issue if it comes and goes like that. Congestion on the route your data is taking is my guess.

I suggest you check what has been said about it on the Official Hunt discord channels. It has been discussed much there and even commented on by Crytek staff. In once case I can remember they specifically said some ISPs in the EU were having problems of this kind.

One possible solution that was presented was using a VPN to get your data to take a different route.

You can probably find out more if you run a search there.

Routing is the thing that your isp does. upload and download does NOT matter
Can you please read my whole message?
Is problem on my side, how is it that US server has lower ping than EU server? I live in the EU.

Your problem is likely not on your side, or in your direct control (except for the VPN idea).
The problem is likely between you and the server.

This is good advice. And where I would start myself.

Yeah, as he said. Its most likely routing. the routing one game takes will not be the same as another. So you would expect that behavior.

EU Server IP is. 178.162.195.223

Ping it and also do a trace route.

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 285ms, Maximum = 294ms, Average = 289ms
I also have the trace result but i dont know what to do with it

I would get the address from Crytek support. That way you know it is correct.
They can also help you run a trace and interpret the results.

You can see here this person did the same.

In my case, we were discussing the routing of my internet service provider. So I think the issue has been resolved only for those who live in the UAE and use the ISP "Du" ISP. (I believe that in the UAE, no one except me plays Hunt :D)

So I would recommend you to contact support yourself and provide the IP addresses through which you access the internet. This way, Hunt's support can identify your ISP's ASN and look for an optimal route.

P.S. But it took quite a bit of my personal time to prove this.

hunt is the only game in history (and in my 200 games lib) which will make you buy vpn or other things because servers and "routing" is so bad.
strange thing is, me and my friends never need this the last 25 years..

That turns out not to be the case.
And it is not the first time I have heard of it.
