Middle East Servers - High Ping! [PS4]

It was nice and charm until the last 4 days where i am getting a high ping rate in Middle East Servers, I got a better connection on Hong Kong Servers even though I live in Qatar!

No changes from my ISP or Router Settings although I tried to reset them but no luck. this is preventing me from enjoying the game honestly.

  • Don't worry about it my friend,Many people have the same problems as you.I live in Asia, but the Asian servers are also very high ping.Try servers in other areas😉

    Hello @Red_Skull_000777 and @sky-619

    there are also know issues with the FIFA middle east servers. Can you please give some additional info like ISP, does it only occur on Quickmatch or Operations or both, if you are in the server browser, do you have lower ping to the servers?  Did you try joining via serverbrowser cause quickmatch can  be broken sometimes.

    Im also gonna tag @EA_David here so he can investigate this with you further. Thanks for reporting your problems.

    Greetings,

    FUT17 had some issues finding good matches but today it was alright i guess.

    #Battlefield1 it's even worse today 250+ Always red signals, in game it is giving those icons in the right of the screen..horrible! The issue with all game modes i used server browser.

    ISP are OOREDOO @ 300MB internet.  Tried every troubleshooting solutions which i know even called ISP but there is no issue from their side. Other -None EA- games seems to be fine.

    Thanks @Babyhuehnchen

    Cable ofcs..always NAT Type 2 but it is normal and works for years with me!

    *UPDATE*

    Ping is now 120-170 will give it a shot to see if it's playable, I kept changing the MTU and 1496 changed this, but not sure if this was the problem 🙂

    note that magic 1473 not working any more

    Same im from pakistan as well and the servers in europe make me want to tear my hair out!!!!!!

    Cant get a single shot from martini henry now(was on 17 stars) cuz of enemies teleporting continously.

    seriously, these idiots at EA support should be looking into these issues rather than dishing out those useless monthly updates

  • Its almost the same for me. I get 200+ ping on middle eastern servers, even i used to get 50-90 and somehow i consistently manage to get between 170-190 on European servers. Im from Pakistan, how do i get better ping on servers that are further away from my location? My internet settings have not changed, and I'm using an ethernet cable. Also, the new update that was supposed to fix the issues the update preceeding it did not do much to fix hit registration issues as i can still see my opponents flinch and bleedas i shoot them, yet my hits dont register. EA should have fixed their servers before trying to mess with the netcode of the game. The game is currently unplayable for me as the bad servers combined with the netcode has a severely adverse affect moy only on my gaming experience but on my in-game stats as well. Please. For the love of god. Fix the middle eastern servers or change the netcode back to the way it was.
