Anyone else getting worse than usual latency at this moment?

[Antric]

yes and I dont know whats causing it I normally run around 80 ping over the last few days I average 150
ugh

[Kurbeks]

same here, especally bad during peak hours

[BlackHeroe]

Yepp here too. Especially yesterday it was cruel. I got disco´s without getting disconnected - finally had to quit.
(everyone walked straight on/stood still, got no hits until i was dead, but still could hear and write in chat)

Also the 24 player disconnections seemed to get more often in last weeks.

[chucklesMuch]

Yes.

[Veev]

Still happening here.... IT might be time to cancel my Kodiak and move on to a different game.

This is a pretty consistent result over the past week from the southern USA, Cableone is the ISP. For reference avg ping to google.com is 23ms and ping in other games such as World of Tanks and Warthunder is between 25-60ms depending on time of day.

This crap ping is accompanied by a VERY unstable connection making games (esp CW games) very unstable with desync in nearly every drop and complete disconnects at least 2 times per hour. At this point I have written off MWO as a game to play as the satisfaction from playing does not equal or exceed the frustration.

*UPDATE:I called my ISP and they traced it as well and thru alot of technomumblejumble said its basicaly the targeted IP (MWO) that is responsible for the roundabout. Something about their servers and prioritizing traffic. I am not a network admin guy so I can't call BS on anyone, however the ISP says the reason for the unusual path to Europe and back for a NA server is the fault of MWO.
I am inclined to believe them from a laypersons perspective as I play several online games and NONE of them do this. For shits and grins I did tracert to alot of high traffic servers like youtube and steam and whatnot, none of them do this.

TL;DR= MWO is not worth the headache. go play something else.

Yes, I average 15-30 ms ping, I'm located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, but recently this week my average ping is a constant 200-250 ms (my condolences Aussies!), on North American servers, oddly my ping is better on European servers; 100-120 ms, so that reinforces the theory that there is a server reroute through Europe and back to NA like Victus said..
