Routing/server performance issues.

Question

So I've been trying to dial in what's going on with connection. One game feels okay at 30lat then others feel like crap at 59-65. Attached are my bf6 connections and I find it odd I have eu west connections(germany and italy) albeit they aren't the highest b/sec connections so idk how relevant they are to game feel. All US connections are going to Virginia which are the 30lat games, not sure where connections would be at 59 to 65 and haven't TS'd those yet. Resource Monitor wont start monitoring after battlefield is open(it states access denied), but will monitor if opened before. Anti Cheat is the cause of this, but that's beside the point here.

I do have a couple questions though..

Do we not have a central US server for RedSec?

What are the reasons for the eu west connections? And can this "needed" data just be sourced from VA on BF6's end not our end? Keeping all of our "conversations" at a lower latency would seem to be a good move imo.

Thanks for reading,

All Compute connections are US Virginia, everything else is Europe.

Trichomecookin​ matchmaking will ping data centers all over the world in order to see which ones have the lowest ping.You can see which data center you're actually connecting to by following the steps in the guide below and sorting by 'Send B/sec'.battlefield 2042 high latency | EA Forums - 6965215

I did IP lookup on all these IP's and US Virginia is where I'm connecting to generally, as stated at the bottom of the discussion above, these are the only us connections in the list and one of them is the highest b/sec meaning active server I'm playing on.

Im going to figure out where the games at or around 60lat are today just to resolve curiosity. (Likely US West as the distance to server would be doubled from my location.)

I will verify trace route of highest b/sec connection today as this has not been done yet.

More soon.

Individual pings gain no reply from servers due to what I assume is no active client id associated with the ip origination. This is expected due to a "do not reply to pings" setting server side. ISP routing table is not the issue here unless you can prove to me via unaltered screenshot that you receive a ping from any of the above mentioned server IP's via CMD..

60ms connections are US west servers, there are no central servers. In a country that is 2500 miles wide I find that fascinating. Only people that live within spitting distance of the servers are having a good consistent experience on this game on RedSec.

MP generally plays fine....
