Re: Data centers and ping

Try wired, wifi = unstable.

Also, the time you play is important as I have found out.

Sometimes... especially weekends can actually suck to play in a big city.

Just think about your local Internet provider, the number of people can down your latency connection on the weekend

my connection is about 3 or 4 percent slower.

Then comes the server load of the game you play, also weekend can be bad at times...

I check the data center a lot and I have come to the conclusion that even if you are in your own region,

the server ping can still be very erratic/ unstable...

For example the 2 servers in Virginia, server 1 has a higher server load mostly always than the second one.

If optimized it should not happen.

Then there is something I'm a bit unsure about and that is if other "Users" introduce lag...

I mean maybe just maybe your not the problem and you did everything right.

But other high ping players are destabilizing the server??

@OneEyeYarric I've seen that too, sometimes the game starts super lagging and as soon as an specific player is killed (or leaves the game) the frame rate improves for everyone. I happened to me before where my actual squad members where super lagged, they left because they could barely move, and suddenly the game improved a lot. These high players should not be allowed to join an specific server, instead, be routed to a server with lower pings.
