Re: Terrible network behavior after S5 rollout

Im armed with PingPlotter and continue my investigation.

Today I got back to my PC and my ping seems fine, 66 average, ~3ms jitter.

I have foundd old Atic's post about bf2042 using AWS infrastructure to host servers, however I couldnt find correct IP to ping. 

With some social engineering I found EU Frankfurt server address is https://dynamodb.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/

I did PingPlotter magic and it shows pretty good timings until I hit "mx01.Stockholm.gldn.net" which is obviosly a Sweden host. Right now when my ping is fine it shows 47 ping to that host and 0 packet loss. Once my ping goes high and I feel lags/rubberbanding I see pack loss grows up to 80% (while game debug shows theres no packet loss at all)

Right now my network is consistent, I don't know if my ISP changed something (we had long conversation about how BF2042 is important for me).

Cheers~

    This is where a Server Browser comes in. If you were able to pick the server you play on, you wouldn't be MM'd into instances with bad pings.

    @Adamonic I gave up waiting for it. Its been 20 months since releaase and there's nothing about server heard around. I dont understand a single reason why would they remove server browser

    @sgtPoulton The answer to why no server browser is money. If you have a dedicated server, you have to pay for it. From what I understand, is the servers only “exist” when there is demand for it, otherwise it’s not being rented. It’s far cheaper for EA to use that model of “on demand” servers. Too bad it’s contributing to the decline of the game.

    @ATFGunr I wish someone with a brain would realize that Battlefield can't be treated like other games just because it is an online fps shooter. There are just too many variables due to game modes, number of players, different maps, ping/region, etc.

    Yeah it isn't coming. It is what it is at this point. I just get happy when I get in a server that my ping is good

    @GrizzGolf I have barely played since the AR changes and the latest change did nothing or even made them worse (which would've been hard to do).

    It almost feels purposeful. The same week as another game gets launched, almost pushing players there for decent gunplay.
