Poor ping/connection
Why over the last couple weeks have the pings and connections gotten so bad? I just had the worst game in years with a ping over 8000. Used best game location and that's what I got.
Do you have a PC by chance? If so let’s find out how your connection is reaching our servers. Can you run a UO Trace and screenshot me the results? Instructions here: https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/connection-troubleshooting-basic/.
When are you guys going to get some servers up in Toronto, Ontario? How pathetic this game is when it comes to online with pings of 1000 ? The only closest server to us in Toronto is in Montreal... I know guys who ply in Montreal with pings of 8ms - 15 ms why can’t we get that over here in Toronto.....
Are you always having a ping of 1000 in your online games?
No .. but it’s been crappy for 2 months now with high pings , player feels slow in eashl I play with a dangler 170 pounds and he feels like he’s skating in mud.. our whole team was on 1000 and sometimes 2000ms .. any server in Toronto, Ontario?
You're hitting the Central server that is in the US. Even with that distance, you shouldn't be getting pings of 1000. It should be well under 100. Are you on a wired or wireless connection? Have you done any troubleshooting yet? I know it sounds basic, but if you haven't power cycled your modem, router and console in a while, that should be done.
Yea have done all that .. like I said it was all 12 of us playing league gaming lg .. on eashl .. what I wanna know what the closest ea server to me ? I’m living in Toronto, Ontario , Canada
You're on the Central US server. I can't give an exact location though. My LG team had 1 game lag last night, but the other 5 had no issues. That's how it's been lately where 1 game out of several has this. Once we quit out and find another game, it's fine. I'm not saying this is ok by any means though. There's just a lot of variables at play when you're talking about 12 people connecting to the game. Especially with the state of affairs in the world today. The strain on the internet is causing many connections to lag or disconnect when they otherwise wouldn't have. If you are very frequently seeing 1000 MS pings, we should go through some troubleshooting.
your telling me there are no east servers ?
There are east servers, but those in Toronto would be connecting to the central servers as they are closer.
I have friends who play in Montreal which they are in the east why do they have there own server in the east ? They don’t connect to a central server ..so why do we in Toronto that makes no sense
They would be on the North East server.
Yea which is in Montreal... why would I connect to a central server if I’m in Toronto in the east
Ohio is closer than Montreal. That's why you're connecting there instead.
I’m like 5 hours away from Montreal.. I’m almost 7 hours away from Ohio how does that make any sense?
Driving to Ohio would be longer than driving to Montreal, but the actual distance, in a straight line, from Toronto to Ohio is shorter than Toronto to Montreal.
