I get this a lot. Normally it would be a bit more of a difference in pin or pl than tonight's video. Don't know why game dosnt choose nearest server. Anyone else get this?
Edit: changed title as I forgot to say I'm on xbox 😃
@EryxApexWell, it wouldn't necessarily work. Such a priority toggle would act like a playerbase split, resulting in an increase in waiting time even for those who want fast matchmaking. Also, waiting too much between matches breaks the flow, resulting in players losing interest in the game much faster because they don't get the same adrenaline rush.
Another thing, nothing guarantees low latency matchmaking. Even at an average below 20ms, it's enough to get a spike and issues like stuttering and rubberbanding will occur. These come from the simulation not getting all the data in time or conflicts between the server and clients, so spikes have a bigger impact than a higher average lag . Spikes can't be prevented, even a simple rerouting can cause net disruptions, resulting in delays of hundreds or thousands of miliseconds and lost packets.
@hayhormight be a console thing then or Maybe I am lucky lol, my ping on PC is same throughout my 5 hours play session. And is also same each day I play. 130-140 ms always, doesn't matter the day or week except some ping spikes in the middle of a game.
One more thing, Bahrain is lowest ping for me, but I always lock Singapore GCE 2 and it stays that way.
@OldTreeCreeper If I hit Esc, the name of the server is always the same at the bottom. If you select any individual server it will have '*' on the top or the game gives you something else. You didn't select server, so it changed from London to Belgium(idk why). But after you clicked on desired server, it stayed that way.
Posted this long time ago the server you pick is not always the one they are putting you in I’m in Ohio says my best server is St. Louis. Put myself in Virginia server. And game puts me in Dallas server. All can be seen from my Netgear gaming router Home Screen. Idk
