high ping
I have a problem with high ping in bf4. I am connected to the router by cable. I have a bigger ping to the nearest servers in Europe than to servers in America.
Hi @HardGoProo ,
What gaming platform are you on please? (aka PC, PS4 or XBox)
I presume that you are based in Europe, reason why in your first message you highlight that the latency to connect with European servers is higher than when connecting with US located servers. That is indeed not normal at all, if you are physically located yourself in Europe. There are however various technical settings and infrastructure designs making that happen, so depending on your local gaming platform, we may be able to guide you towards the root cause and potential fix on that.
Aka both VPNs, your modem setup for primary node to connect to and hardcoded routes by your ISP can all cause such anomaly. It could also be just an interim 'faulty state" due to potential breakdowns in DNS and lines, which then causes your route from your home to the EA server park is being sent on a deviated route until the global net and capacity is re-established.
