Hey @EA_David Thanks for responding , i have done the below indicated , i actually did a clean re-install of my windows operating system & i re-downloaded season 6 from scratch quite a job i must say.
i have also rebooted my PC & ISP Internet Fibre modem.
i have permanently disabled my Windows Firewall.
if i check the IN-Game server IP using some TCP/UDP watch tool i can see i'm connecting to a German server even though i selected London which is a bit strange , anyhow.
German Game server IP - 151.106.58.185
Germany | Host Europe GmbH | 29066 |
if i run a MTR test (constant ping & traceroute) i get below results which is normal have been playing fine since season 0
but since season 6 launched have been facing multiple timeouts & disconnects , it happened in a ranked game aswell it just kept trying to load back in but it wouldnt eventually it sent me back to the lobby and i recieved a penalty for leaving a game???

Thank you. I'm not aware of any changes to how traffic is managed this season but such changes are usually made quietly and I'll see if I can glean anything.
Does connecting to the other datacenters(perhaps Bahrain?) have any impact on stability/the code:cloud timeout?- M1kemclain247_ZW5 years agoRising Scout
Thanks at least if someone could look into it they may find something , could be packet update rates or something like this not sure. i think its not affecting those playing on under 100ms as much as its affecting us from regions without servers.
Well u see Bahrain is actually further from Africa than UK in terms of routing and fibre routes, so the ping is actually higher than London which is 170ms ,Bahrain is something like 200+ms which is usually not fun latency to play on.Here's my server Datacentre list:
My next question would be is it possible for us to use the GUI i saw in the dev stream , it showed ping / ms server packetloss while in game , under the kills Icons? is there a command that lets us see that UI for further troubleshooting? That way we can check if we are lagging in-game, most games have that UI embedded & optional already.
Last but most important AWS - Amazon is Live in South Africa Kubernetes went live a couple weeks ago , is it not possible we could get South Africa / Capetown servers at some point?- EA_David5 years ago

Thanks for the extra info about routing. I'll chase up to see if I can find anything about a change for higher-ping players, but I haven't found anything yet.
Unfortunately there's no net graph on the player-side version of the game, it's something I'd love to see too.
Again, sorry to not have much of an answer, but there's no news on South African servers. It's a frequent request, and we have added regional servers in the past, but I can't make a promise until/unless we get the official confirmation.
