Need Help , high Ping?

Postby Hypp » 29 Mar 2016, 22:02

First sorry for my english

My Problem:

Sometimes, when I play a game online, I have a Ping of about 1000 or more, but it does not always happen.
Steamversion from SC: FA, can I play without lags .

Do I need to make any adjustments at FAF client?

My system:

Internet 16 MBit/s
Intel i5 - 6600K
Evga GTX 980
16GB Ram
Game is on a SSD

It is not your computer that's for sure. What OS are you running? Windows 10?

To start make sure you have the latest FAF client.
I would also restart the router and see if that helps.

I hope that helps but I doubt it.

He could also try using a third party dsn as very often the local dns's provided by the isp are garbage.

If your ping is showing something like 1000 or 2000. Then this is because there are other applications or computers consuming your internet bandwidth. Stop all downloads, updates, or anything else which is using your internet. This includes other users in your house who might be streaming footage or downloading stuff. Disable automatic updates.

Are you the only one using your internet connection?
Are you connected via LAN or WLAN?
If it is WLAN, what kind of WLAN connection are you using? (USB dongle, pci card, etc)
What country are you from?
Do you live in a city or a remote area?
Do those high pings appear constantly or just to specific players? (maybe in specific countries)
Does the high ping appear right at the start of the game or after roughly the same amount of time later in the game?
What anti virus software are you using?

Do this test:
http://speedof.me/
And share the result here. (share button could be disabled if you are using an adblocker, I suggest deactivating it during the test)
If share doesn't work, post a screenshot. (remove your IP adress in the top lef corner of the graph though)

In windows:
go to start --> type CMD and open the command line --> type: tracert faforever.com

Are there parts of the route that have a very high ping/duration?
(dont show the the first 2-3 hops if you decide to show the tracert result in this thread, unless you are fine with revealing your internal and external Ip address to the cummunity)

Do you have any other related problems in other games?
Do normal downloads drop the connection and don't get finished from time to time?

its always hard to be sure but it looks like your internet is fine.
in game the connection is between players so ping to faforever does not matter.
what is your problem? be more specific
if you have high ping it might be the other player
you can check in game with f11 and look at all players, if you have high ping to everyone then its you

but again, it looks like your internet is fine.
perhaps there is some bug with faf or you are running some other programs that are using bandwidth
