PROXY MADNESS!!!!

[SC-Account]

If you play with 2 people from Australia etc. and they get proxy to each others they end up with 1k pings most of the time making the game entirely unplayable. Could you PLEASE add options:
1. to ban proxies as host
2. to disable proxy connection as individual player

Even if some cant connect at all that is still much better than having to rehost the game cause of unbearable lag and then having to figure out who gets proxied to who. It should be easy to make proxies optional? PLEAASEEEEEEEE RELIEVE ME FROM THIS TERRIBLE LAG!!!!!!!!!!!

[PANTS]

YES PLEASE

I also back this motion.

It's way too frustrating. I think it's very quick to decide that people from far away must have poor connections and switch to proxy. Usually we're fine.

YES! WE NEED THIS

You have the option already -- it's called the kick button.

If you try and disable proxy connections as an individual player the only thing you'll gain is being unable to connect at all (For now) -- not very helpful.


We're working on implementing industry standard connectivity establishment (ICE/TURN). Until that's out your best bet is to use common sense, ask players with prior known connection issues to not play in your games and resort to the kick button if needed. Don't be a d*** about it though -- it's rarely the players fault that their connection is sub par.

Not being able to connect at all at least tells you that something is wrong. Also it is incredibly annoying to figure out who is connected via proxy before start. Last but not least I highly doubt that they most of them even need the proxy to connect. The not being able to connect with someone situation was not nearly as wide spread as the use of proxies. I get proxied to tons of people, but there was only one single player I could never connect to before proxy implementation. Some players maybe would need 2 minutes to connect without proxy, but I doubt the function gives them that much time and connects them with proxy after 5 seconds or such. Couldn't that be increased to say 5 minutes for starters.. or to a player set value.

Having 2 or more players with 1k ping to each others is nothing about being a d*** Sheeo - it is simply fucking unplayable.

Yeah proxy is definitely on hair trigger. rejoining always changes the combination of players that I get proxied with. Its just random and I'd rather d*** the proxy off so I can see who I genuinely do have connection problems with.

Hey here's a thought - if its too much trouble to add these proxy-disable options, its always possible to host games manually. just host game outside of faf and spam the ip/port in aeolus, making sure to advertise that its gauranteed proxy free, ppl will join sure as shit sticks to a blanket. I did that during the few hours that faf server was down a couple weeks ago. It was awesome, proxy completely out of the picture.
