Lagging to death

Not sure what's going on this past few days on the London server my lag is unplayable
I used to ping 145 in f6 now it's a constant 200 with spikes 🙁

Everything is the same and seems to be running fine on the server.

Probably an issue with your route. Post here or send me a mtr log / screenshot (email or private discussion if you don't want to post your IP/ISP publicly) from an mtr program like the free version of ping plotter or WinMTR. Run it with the destination set to the London server 139.162.235.20. If using pingplotter run it for at least 10 minutes.

If there is a problem with a node that is a provider for the server host, I can open a ticket to help resolve it. If, on the other hand, the problem node is with your provider you as their customer will need to contact them to help get it fixed. Since routes can change at any time it may also just resolve itself in time.

This gives some examples of what you might see and how the results can be interpreted in case you or anyone else is interested: https://www.pingplotter.com/fix-your-network/interpret-results.html

Hi thanks Ill try and get it done today...im a little illiterate when it comes to this things =)
But yah for the past 3 days I went from a stable 120 in f6 to a constant 190 with spikes up to 250.
I tried again this morning and its unplayable for me. The london 2 server and atlanta play good for me.

Hi snowguy sorry to bother again but its getting worst lol
This past few days I have been playing on london server my PC will freeze for like 7 seconds wile playing then comes back and I can see my ping it's 90 and then goes back up to 190.
Also atm i lag on all servers. I used to ping 45 on atlanta its now 100 and london 2 i pinged 100 and now its 160.

So anyone following knows what is happening drunken_fool's ping plotter results showed his route going the wrong way across the continent and back before heading to the London server last week.

If you sent that email we talked about and still the route is bad, a week later, then I guess it couldn't hurt to now contact your ISP locally and see if that might get things started toward a fix. Hope they can help you.

Sounds like a bad hop close by or maybe 100 miles away. If you don't wanna use ping plotter visual route does what snowguy was talking about the free version should be up to this simple task. When this happens to me I say out loud internet heal thyself and it has worked everytime eventually.

Sounds like OutforBloods flag running.
