As I posted before, I can alter my ping at will with hardware and a high ping does stop OHKs and bullet sponge whatsoever. As many have suggested, ping simply cannot be the only cause of this issue. I have tested various bandwidth settings - from mb’s to kb’s up/down - and that did not help level the field since the patch. Either the servers are all truly located in the states (you notice how most that seem affected be the issue are from the US and how the US servers are the most used) or, this game deals up the lag comp based on IP. In other words, it knows your location and alters your connection based on location. Hell if I know or care at this point. As to play when Japan is sleeping… have you forgotten about South America? Bottom-line, the east and west coast US servers are global 24/7 and when I and friends from the US try to play OOR, it does NOT work both ways. Try for yourself and report back. Game broken. Game over.
Those damn brazilians just lagged the balls off of the last match on Hainan. It’s a real shame that BF3 Badmins made dice make it so that you can’t kick from in game. This community destroys itself.
The speed of light dictates that a group of players close together will have a much smoother experience than a group far apart from each other. A players input from Japan will take much longer to be received and processed by a US server than someone from Chicago.
Hight ping player = Scrub
Anything under 100ms is aceptable in a FPS. Any server outside your region is gonna give you a ping well over 100ms .
Play CSGO with a ping of 400ms+ and let me know if you were able to still go 50-5.
I see a lot of Americans say stuff like that. Here in Australia, players on the West Coast get pings around 120-140ms to the servers on the East coast. 100ms would be nice, but it’s just not a reality in many places.
Yep, as I’ve said before: ‘Netcode’ is not a time machine.
I realize that but thats why offical servers are there. Some form of ping management should be available to server admins. Oceania Servers are off the coast from you so why are you playing in NA servers?
