French ping issue on dirty bomb [FREE as operator]

(misspo) #21

[quote=“pocahontas;209105”][quote=“Amerika;209001”]If nobody else is lagging except you then it’s an issue with your ISP and your route to the server. Nexon and Splash Damage have no control over that. Your ISP might if they have the ability to switch where your initial hops take off from. You can do a traceroute to the server IP by getting the server IP via Windows Resource Monitor while connected to a server (google it).

This issue is not going to be resolved by Nexon/SD though even if you can find out the hop on the route that has the issue.[/quote]

Hello, can you give me a random uk server ip please? so i will be sure to have the right one.
I will be able to report a traceroute.[/quote]

jeeze man… You’ve been bumping this thread like you’re desperate. Can you at least document what you have done to diagnose the problem?

Hello, welcome to my home. Take a site and let me introduce my story…
When there is not much to do. My ping got up and i feel that the game is laggy at a certain houre. I don’t know how much time it last because i always go to bed before :confused:
For exemple today, my ping got higher between 18h30 19h00. normaly i get 20 and now i get 70

It can be normal for your ping to go up in peak times. It may be worth checking with your ISP to see if there’s anything funny going on. Do your general download and upload speeds also reduce at these times?

Hello shoe. Happy to find some one after (so much) this time :slight_smile:
Well it’s not normal because i never had it in the past. And the only affected game that i play is dirty bomb (csgo, reflex, quake live, BF2 & 2142 doesn’t have issues).
My ping jump from 20 to 70+ and stay like this forever.
My up & down don’t change either :confused:

Please, don’t give up on me. Uping every day is becoming an addiction.

I had the same ISP a few months ago and the same problem. At peak hours, the ping is ~50ms higher than normal. This happens only in Dirty Bomb, though I think the French ISP Free is 99% responsible for the problem.

Anyways the game has client-side detection so 70 ping should not be THAT a problem. You can’t blame SD for not solving such a hard and specific problem, especially when this ISP is already known for causing many internet issues in France.

Je pense que le problème vient de mot fastpath :confused: Je crois qu’il disparait quand il n’est pas activé.

I will try one thing to see if that’s change. Free ISP does have an option for ping reducer.
I will try out if my ping jump too when it’s disabled.

Hello, look at my ping now http://hpics.li/743d49b in the middle of the day :frowning:

I think I know where the bottle neck is.

If you know how to perform a trace route to the server you’re connecting to, do so. Note the time of day you performed your trace route.

Now, if you know someone from another area in EU who connects to the same server and knows how to perform a trace route to the same server, ask him/her to do so at a similar time.

Compare your results, and you will see a similar path in the trace where all traffic gets passed.

Now when the latency is good, perform the same trace route to the server you’re connecting to. Note the time of day you performed your trace route.

With the same person you asked to do a trace route, ask him/her to do the same trace route again. Compare your results and you will note a similarity in paths where traffic gets passed.

You’ll notice that at certain times of the day, traffic gets open/closed so you’re contesting bandwidth with the rest of EU.

Solution: Ask your ISP to host a DB server…

Is there a tutorial on how to performe a complete traceroute with a dirty bomb server?

(Saiph) #35

Even if the traceroute shows the problem, then what ? You can just make a complaint against Free and wait, like thousands of people in France …

You can still make it, though, that would be interesting. You can use commview for that. But I hardly believe you will find the problem just with traceroute. There are too many variables and events that can interfere in the result.

I think you should just give up … 80 ping is clearly playable. Maybe even better than with your usual 20 ms.

(K1X455) #36

It’ll help make a decision to stay with the current ISP or not. Certain ISPs turn on routes due to cost of traffic during peak business hours and turn them off when the returns are low.

Also, lower ping doesn’t translate to better gameplay. Target a ping of 60ms. This is not like CS:GO. It’s how SD coded it so a balance has to be reached. The closer you are to 60ms, the better.

so:

80ms - 60ms = 20ms difference

vs

60ms - 20ms = 40ms difference (in this case you just update the server more often, whether the server does something with the data you sent, you won’t know).

66ms- 60ms = 6ms difference… better, but best is actually 60ms.

For as long as the latency is stable, (neither going up or going down) you’ll be alright.

Press <WindowsKey + R> and type in “tracert” at the command prompt and it’ll show you the options

(misspo) #38

tried my ping option, didn’t work :confused: It’s not really playable. Ping work between 90 120…
It’s less playable than a real 120 pings.

(K1X455) #39

I tried playing in US East with a ping of 270ms and I hardly come out last (except when I recently joined the game and the game ends in a few minutes).

Generally, in ASIA servers, I get a ping of 160~180ms and it’s not that bad. In some EU servers, I get 290~310ms… playable, but really pushing it hard up the hill.

Are you sure you’re getting latency problems instead of frame rate problems?
