Still connecting to wrong IP
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.
