Ultra High Ping

[DerJery]

Im from Germany and I always play on EU-Servers aswell. In the Server Filter, I only look for Servers that are about 30 to 50 ping and mostly German servers. After I join, my ping immediately goes up to 90 and stays at that level, sometimes even about 110 to 130! Please tell me if I do something wrong???

no, all correct but not optimal XD

i can see german servers as low as 15 ping, but that is in the browser that just calculates one direction.
ingame are two and the synconisation with the other players with sometime higher pings that then delay the whole server.

but living in germany as you do, you should also see lower pings then 30 - 50 ;) are you playing on wifi or cable? a cable is recomended, more stable and usualy faster too.

I am playing on cable, but why do other games handle this ping issue better than this one? And also, I am just talking about the connection issues, not even the game itself "performance" *cough, cough

one thing could be that other games have less players, smaller maps, and more local servers that keep high ping players away.

the browser though does show only one direction. all MP games i remember have different values once you are ingame. probably also different engines that more suited for such games, other then UE4.

at last there could be weak link in your connection.

however, this is all speculation, with those values you should be able to play pretty normal. players in other parts of the world play with even higher ping ;) because they have no local servers.

btw, just played again and my lowest ping in the browser was 10 XD

i can't get ping lower than 100 even when local server. same since beta. sucks.
