eMazing_ 9 Posted May 14, 2019 i'm from australia and i'm getting the exact same if not slightly better ping to EU when it's supposed to be almost double what i'd get in US are these servers routed through europe or something? a bit of a joke that i'm stuck playing on US when it's a dead server when i could just play on EU and get the exact same gaming experience...

Saxtus 497 Posted May 14, 2019 I don't know each server's IP, or else I would tell you to run a traceroute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arkup 13 Posted May 14, 2019 yes it's been happening to others from Australia as well , i use to get between 200 - 230ms to the U.S and 350ms to Europe now it is 400 - 500ms to the U.S and Europe is the same 350ms , quite unplayable actually doing a ping test to Dallas Texas shows the normal 220ms but in game it's 400 - 500ms so i'd say there is some ISP routing issues going on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deadliest 377 Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) your ISP is routing you to UK then to the APB NA Dallas server. average AUS PINGS: perth = 250ms - 230ms Melbourne bad routing = 290ms / normal routing: 200ms Sydney = 190ms Brisbane = 230ms Adelaide = 190ms either with these pings, it's still a poorly bad experience, even the population is pretty dead during 7pm +. If you want to play during peek NA time, you have to play during the mornings or maybe afternoon, which no one has time for that. Playing on EU with 290ms is not ideally acceptable regardless of the population. solution: use vpn Edited May 14, 2019 by Deadliest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uhtdred 232 Posted May 14, 2019 OFFTOPIC: why do I get a better latency on FC than in action districts? It shouldn't work this way ,don't come and write "less people in FC, that's why there's better latency". in fornite or apex legends, there isn't a better latency when there are less players remaining.

It's constantly showing that my Latency is 1MS while in reality its about 10~20. This only happens on FC / Empty districts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Getting out of a car or driving one, and switching shoulders/opening doors is a lot different in FC than in financial/waterfront. So pretty sure it also affects shooting gameplay.. -30ms makes a lot of difference imo.. Edited May 14, 2019 by Uhtdred Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
