I am still stuck being connected to the IP address of 159.153.38.49. This EA address is located in London England. I am in the United States. No it is not my ISP's fault. I already contacted them and they told me what I and anyone else with network knowledge knows. They don't control what IP the game connects to, the game does. That in turn determines what the route is. Add to that, I have used different connections, and have the same problem. There are also many others that have the same issue, and I know full well they aren't using the same connection as me. So that's two reasons I know for a FACT it's NOT my ISP. Something is wrong with the game. When I load up the game, it sends me to 159.153.38.49. It shouldn't do that. My connection stays that way the entire time. I never see it change, even when in a match. And it's the only IP in the list in Windows Resource Monitor when I'm playing a match. I'm sitting at 150+ms the whole time, 50% of that time I am lagged up so much I can't move. The game server selection says that the closest is in Virginia (use to be Ohio but that's suspiciously missing entirely) at 77ms. I shouldn't be rubberbanding and in a lag stun-lock if I had 77ms. Ever. Whatever part of the game that is determining the closest IP address is is not functioning right. I'm willing to work with someone to get this figured out, but I'm not going through the "it's not us it's them" bull *. That and the normal network troubleshooting has already been done many times over and it accomplishes nothing. I'm not technologically inept, so work with me here.
that very same thing happens when i play startrek online and only when startrek online is downloading something.
so not only am I being connected to an IP in the UK, but something is soaking up so much badnwidth that voice chat (Which takes up next to nothing) is severely impaired.
- 7 years agoSo... I'm wondering, if I block the IP that the game initially when launched chooses to connect to, shouldn't it automatically find a different IP address to connect to?
- 7 years agoAt the very moment of this reply, I am using my satellite internet to connect to the game. As I stated before, my ISP is not the issue because I play over the cell network of AT&T through StraightTalk using 3G.
Both my satellite and phone tether send me to the same IP address of 159.153.38.49. That is located in London England.
So... there's something wrong somewhere with something in the game or Origin that is sending me to the incorrect IP address. - 7 years agoI was at a friend's house recently and used a solid internet connection. I still connected to the same IP. However I had no lag, or if I did, it wasn't noticeable.
I should still not be connecting to that IP address. I already know my connection type is not superb and that there will be some lag, but I should not have lag at over 120ms, and definitely as high as 12kms. - 7 years ago
so today I got on again at home, and my default ping side (the data center) that is closest is US Virginia at 80ms. I hopped into a match, was lagging so bad I couldn't move, and when I died, I couldn't spawn back in. I had to leave because everyone was jumping around and it wouldn't stop.
The game says the datacenter I have selected is in Virginia, but the game is connecting to a London England datacenter. I am having zero problems with all other games.
So is some help going to be given, or do I just keep posting and be ignored?
- 7 years agoI did contact the IP carrier, and the ISP that has peering with them to get the route corrected.
I hope it gets corrected, yet I fail to see how the route has any bearing on the game choosing the IP address in California when it does it regardless of the connection.
Different connections mean different routes. Yet the destination stays the same.
