Original Post — Direct link

I keep dying behind cover, getting double death (my target and i die at the same time), floating C4 / mines, and it feel like my bullets move at 150m/s.

I got fiber, ping most websites at 15ms. In game, 130ms network and 150-200ms server in an empty region.

Is it the best Ps2 can offer, or are we going to get improvements?

Both Miller and Cobalt are physically located in Amsterdam. Here is a chart I put together showing the average latency of all players into both worlds between 9 PM and 10 PM CEST tonight.

 

The chart shows that about 50% of the people had 50ms or better, and about 80% had 70 ms or better. Assuming you were at 130ms for that hour, you would be in the bottom 5% of all players. Definitely not good and not normal.

 

It could be a problem unique to your route into the datacenter, or there could be congestion in the datacenter itself (we had similar problems with Orange and Deutsche Telekom in the past). If you don't mind sharing one of your character names (via reply or PM), I can do a bit more digging to see if anyone else is having similar issues.

 

As far as server latency goes, subtracting 130 ms from 150-200ms gives values between 20 and 70ms, which I would expect on a full continent. Note that each continent (Indar, Hossin, Amerish, Esamir, etc) runs in a separate process, so each continent will have different latency values depending on population and overall player density.

No, not public unfortunately.

 

Here you go. Connery is in Las Vegas. Definitely worse than AMS in terms of overall latency, although Connery is the most diverse in terms of physical connection distances.

I am with Deutsche Telekom. I have massive problems during prime time. My ping goes up to 170ms, while it stays at ~60ms in the moring. When i tracer cobalts IP i get a huge increase when it reaches 80.157.129.202. Other users in germany suggest it is because Deutsche Telekom has very bad peering. My Cobalt name is BlauesAuge

Edit: I once tried using a VPN from my University when i had realy bad ping. With the VPN my ping went down to ~80.

Thank you for the information. If you have some free time today, could you please send me a PM with the full traceroute? Much appreciated!
