Original Post — Direct link

So my Valorant did a thing recently where it changed the server location where my internet is the best. Originally, it was in Hong Kong but for some reason, it switched and my new server location is Singapore. Id be alright with this if it werent for the fact that I cant hang out with my friends anymore, because theyre still in Hong Kong and wed have bad internet if we played Valorant together, and I dont understand what some of the people in Singapore servers are saying, making callouts difficult as hell. I dont know if this is just an internet service provider thing, or a device thing. I do require advice on how to switch back to Hong Kong, if its possible. Thanks for your time.

Seems like the apac servers are just f**king up today.

I’m in New Zealand and it’s also saying Singapore is my best connection. It should be Sydney at about 40 ping but Sydney is reading as 200 ping for me.

It’s not the servers. Which ISP are you using and which country are you in?

New Zealand, spark

can you run a traceroute to 43.229.65.1? (this may be the wrong address - I’m working from memory but will be at my pc later)

Yeah well I did and I still don’t understand it, sorry for not being a tech wiz I guess

It's ok - things look back to normal for them now. They might have had some sort of outage or issue with their upstream at Telecom NZ but it came good approximately 4 hours ago after being bad all weekend.

We are working to take hand-off from PLDT in Manilla to get some better consistency around the experience there. This work has been in-flight for a while but hope to finish by September. Once this is done the pings to Hong Kong and Singapore should be consistently lower.
