High Ping in Game

[Reyiz]

I don't know if this is the right place to write.

I had a ping around 60-90 two or three weeks ago but nowadays I am really suffering from high ping in game like 130-180; even  in TR_Kapikulu_cRPG server I have >70 ping ( I live in Turkey )

I asked my internet service provider to fix it, but they didn't help me at all. They just said that go find a computer technical service to fix my computer. Then I googled how to lower my ping and tried a few guides and programs, however none of them worked on the contrary my ping increased more. I asked some of my computer engineer friends and got the answer it is about the servers and my ISP; but the servers are better than they used to be and other Turkish players have a normal ping around 60-90.

Therefore, I am here asking the help of whoever can handle my ping problem.

Thanks

I've been experiencing problems with high ping as well. It started a week ago, and it fluctuates, sometimes it's ok, sometimes it's unplayable. I've been told that it is related to servers, not to my provider. I live in Monteblack in spanish, btw.

could it be that your providers are jerking you off because they know you can't do shit about it? How competitive is the telecommunication business in turkey/eastern europe?

what some providers do is they limit your speed and redirect it to other people during peak hours instead of expanding bandwidth, to save money and chinz their customers. This happens a lot if there are only 2-3 internet providers, and especially in densely populated areas.

Exactly that's what they do!

I am not sure but it is so close to eastern EU i think

how many internet providers are in your area?

This has happened to me before, but i realized that there was nothing i could do since there were only 2 internet providers in my area, and i was on the least shitty one. You might have to suck it up if you already tried their competitors.

Well I think 2 or 3 ISP exist in my neighbourhood, and mine seems to be the fastest of them as 1 up to 8MBPS

with speed tests, i get 5MBPS download and 500KBPS upload speed

you should not be getting high ping if you're that fast. Could it be that you have a firewall or antivirus that could be slowing down your speed?

[Reyiz]

I have already turned off my firewall and anti virus but nothing has changed.

btw i downloaded and started to use Cfos Speed program ( i read this will help me to decrease my ping on forums ), and it shows 65 ping overall but in game i have still 140 ping

weird as fuck, no clue. You should contact the server then.

http://www.pingtest.net/

try this site to confirm your ping. If its still in the 60s then something is seriously wrong with your connection to the servers

Packet Loss: 0%
Ping: 70 ms
Jitter: 4 ms
Your Grade: B

these are the results

From my experience i would say many ppl reach the servers from 2 main routes. I actually have identified both. Think about that ISPs use dinamic routing. That means the ISP will balance the traffic using diferent links to the desired destination. In my case one of the routes is always very busy and my ping can vary from 100 to 180. On the other hand the other route is much better and i get about 60-90 ping. My solution: When you join the server, if you see you got high ping, just try rejoing over and over until its get fixed. If you are lucky it will be a matter of seconds to get routed in the right direction . Its not your ISP really, its one of the other providers that are between. Good luck. Salute.

Bandwith has nothing to do with latency.

What I do know is that I play cxRPG for months, and that the shit started happening maybe a week ago.

bandwidth, lag, its all the same to me when it gets in the way of my CRPG
