Data centers and ping
I don’t know if you guys are planning on adding new data centers but the ones you guys have now is garbage. This game has so much potential but the ping is garbage. I live in California and I am get...
i mean 45 isnt that much more for an average ping from, say, LA or San Diego to portland (assuming you are as close to or more-so closer to portland than these cities). if you are around southern cali, like SD, or LA, or thereabouts, thats also around 775 to 1000 miles to oregon, so its not just EA. You should be lucky, you have 0% packet loss 🙂 (all guessing on cities and from resources online to find relative average pings and such) and i think Respawn reworked "source" to split packets or something of that nature, like two packets for a single server ping, so maybe its inflation too from that. this video may help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PfFPW9a90w
P.S: To the people who say it’s my internet, it’s not my internet, I have done speed test and I get 335 mbps when no one is really on the WiFi and 245 when multiple people are watching Netflix while I’m gaming.
to this ill say one thing. download speed doesnt mean anything sometimes. you can have jitter, packet dropping, corrupted packets/information, you can have too many uncorrectable codewords being sent through your network, not being corrected by FEC and therefore requiring a request for the same codewords again. basically, to quote online sources,
"Your modem inspects every packet ... check which codewords are addressed to it. "
""Uncorrectables"- number of codewords so corrupted your modem couldn't correct, had to request the CMTS (like the big green boxes with AT&T or something on street corners) to resend to them. "
"...caused by some kind of electrical impulse noise or RF interference getting into the cable network... "to finish up, my friend had this problem with his suddenlink modem before (or the CMTS i dont remember) and i think he used his modem's status page to figue it out and contacted suddenlink. id assume you have either fiber or DOCSIS 3.0/3.1
