region lock when

[JordanPetersonGaming]

lock it rightmeow russians should play in russia sv eu ppl should play in eu sv thats it. not that hard

[b]

region locks can easily be circumvented by VPNs, see PUBG:

-most of the EU Playerbase is chinese and russian, most of the US playerbase is chinese, east asian and vietnamese.

region lock and make using a VPN a bannable offense? probably not going to happen.

maybe maybe not idk. but if they to that probably it will clear discussions a bit. ppl dont know about ping difference and saying that chinese and russians are cheating. its a thing that when i play in na game gets easier because of my high ping but everything else is laggy like all the mobs and stuff game is not fun that way. if they lock it all good, if they force everyone to use lowest ping server they get its still all good, worst scene those ppl gonna pay to get a vpn every month or try to use free one that makes them disconnect every few minutes

what they could do is force-kick anyone with say more than 99ms (or on some servers, like SA, Oceania, Asia and RU more than 150ms or even 175ms (server coverage is poor here)).

force-kick = lose hunter and bingo no more high pingers, even those with VPNs.

but what about the players from regions that cannot connect to any server with reasonably good ping? South East Asia? South Africa? Argentina and Chile? They will have to offer refunds or make exceptions, as stated above, on some servers.

They are testing out the ping-based matchmaking right now, read the dev notes. They are trying to enforce some sorta ping-limit.

ffs theres already a high ping separation been added, any russian or chinese players on EU are probably living in the EU. get a grip

thats what im saying there is lots of option like forcing ppl to use server they get lowest ping, thats good to hear that 'They are testing out the ping-based matchmaking right now,' i will read it. also just find this video its totally what im talking about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5QCHPB3RFo

Not before April 2024

So from what I can tell they must have made the switch from 110 ping limit to 140 like they had mentioned they were going to do. Maybe Monday? Win or lose, last week for example all of my games with the rare exception were really fair matches.

Past 3 days it's been non stop South Americans as teammates who 9/10 times don't speak English and most seem to speak Portuguese the whole match, which was gone when it was 110. At 140 I think they can just squeeze into the low ping threshold for NA East by a literal hair. Also noticed the ping abusing is back where it really seemed to be gone prior.

I hope after this little joke of a test they at least go back to 110, it was so much nicer.

I agree. It was SO much better with the lower ping limit. There was a noticeable difference from when they first implemented it.

I say just get rid of manual server selection all together. Have the game automatically put your group wherever it thinks is right.

that leads to VPN usage, see PUBG, as stated above.

only thing that would really, really fix it. would be a hard ping limit individually set per server.
it could be as low as 99ms in certain regions, namely EU & NA

How does automatically putting your group to the best option lead to VPN Usage?

nah, people coming from china and connecting to EU and US servers has brought this game down. never seen so many people quit over being put into fully chinese lobbies on their respective servers.

plus a bunch of them were cheating.

there's a rumor going 'round that there's an outsourced company working for crytek in china just to ban people using cheats, specifically in that region. something like 80%+ of the banned cheat users in this game were chinese.

most games in china require a full name, address and social security number sign-up process because of that, but this game doesn't.. so you do the math.

most of my friends, myself included, have quit this game because of chinese players on our servers.

yea same before this new ui new patch 1896 thingy we also quitted the game because chinese people werent even hiding their cheats they had like 500 molotof 500 trap 500 dynamite in game and wasnt even hiding + no ban, so we quit. then we see the new patch and started again but it was a little buggy, not optimised, very bad ui so we quit again and recently we downloaded looks well they worked on it my fps on peek currently im getting perfect fps, ui is okay they fixed bunch of stuff, its nice. my only problem is this thing but even they dont do anything about it we will still play so. it just gets boring sometimes that unfair trades, or like while doing jump peek and stuff they kill u after 2 seconds while u behind the wall. i play on eu with around 45ping never happened with any eu ppl. only thing i see when those stuff happens is chinese/russian names

crytek said they wont region lock people because its easy to circumvent. if youre getting people from outside your area, theyre either messing with people by changing their home country on steam or your ping is bad enough to be thrown into lobbies with them.

read: "a team, or multiple teams, threw a bunch of dynamite sticks and there were traps on the ground so they must be cheating with new software to make it so they have INFINITE dynamite and INFINITE traps because i 100% knew there wasnt other teams. just trust me on it."
