I used to get 50 ms to it (i live in the region) and now im getting 210ms. My pings to the NA and EU server are the same. Did something happen to the oceanic server specifically?

[RabidBeagles]

Same. I usually ping around 75 or so to Oceanic, but it has gone up to 250. No lag or rubberbanding though, at least not yet.

Server was moved from WA to SYD a while back now.

At times if you are in Asia there can be sea cable connection/routing issues.

Weird i'm in Brisbane and the ping times are 85? ..... 85 to Sydney seems drastically too high.

[justcallme A S H]

Actually it is in WA, I just checked. It was in SYD previous and moved over. Forgot about that.


I only get around 45ms to it. So if issues are coming in from Asia it'll be the SMW3 cable potentially, that is the usual issue for anyone in Asia as it routes up via Indo

I was gonna say... From what i remember server testing was done for Sydney but Singaporeans were routing through SEA cable to Perth then crossing Aus for upwards of 200 pings. Perth was decided cause for the majority of Aus ping was at it's highest 100ms and SEA players were getting max 150ms.

Edit: As for Jun's issues the OCE servers of late have been shithouse. PGI only pays about $200AUD/month for this server so don't expect their support to be that crash hot when these issues arise.

Not so much annoyed about ping/lag, but the fact I'm forced into Oceanic even though my preferences are EU/US which takes ping up from 30/70 to 400+

If you un-tick you will not end up there.

I have had it un-ticked for 6 months. Never played a match on the server.

[LordNothing]

my pings are almost equally bad to all servers. but thats more to do with my geographical location than anything else. my connection is solid if not low latency.

Yea 85 is way too high from brisbane. Something is broken.

Has anyone tried messaging russ on twitter or something to let them know? I will try sending an email...

[The6thMessenger]

Pings are alright for me. 270ms on NA, 83ms on Oceanic.

Lately what is happening is my ******* FPS dropping during encounters. Meanwhile I get steady 60 FPS on my training ground.

Mecha's issue is his ISP not the best. A number of us have suggested this but apparently it's the games fault.

I get between 43-45ms from various locations in Melb to Perth which is spot on for a good ISP and connection. A little high but as it's multi locations it is likely just routing too the server.

Brisbane should be 70-75ms max location depending so 80+ is also a little high but not "way" too high.

Not had Oceanic selected for years, but still get pushed across, when this happens, server selection isn't even available, so it suggests a server based issue.

I have OC unticked for 4 Years now and never dropped on OC. I'm pretty sure it's a hard filter. The issue where you can't select the server region is purely client-UI, I experience this quite often. It can be resolved by switching into the FP screen and back usually.

[Jun Watarase]

Seems to be fixed now.

I'm rural North of Toowoomba so i'm still Telstra ADSL2+ no NBN here (not even any Vodafone or Optus here).. 85 to WA is standard from QLD.
