Just to confirm I am on FIOS East Coast and I am rubber banding pretty badly in light mechs now. Should have always been 50ms or less but can now often hit 200ms.

This happened recently.

Given pings in other games are 20ms as usual has anyone got a decent comment out of PGI support?

Can they not contact Verizon for us as well (if its anything to do with Verizon) as clearly having half the East Coast going via Germany is not good. FIOS is the premium product so not even the remotest option using anything else for me....

[Will Randor]

Update.

Just joined BF3 US server and was on 34ms (empty ones were on 10ms).
My ping to Jaegar Planetside2 server = 16ms.

Rather a stretch to say its Verizon. With those I would say its PGI's ISP. I suppose just possible its some weird issue on the Verizon gateways but would have to be only to the PGI servers specific part of the internet.....

Can someone confirm they have emailed and are in contact with PGI tech support on this - as if not I will give it a go.

...as that beats warping into walls randomly.

My ping went from low 90s to around 110 - about +20. After last patch.

Mine was over 280 at one point today.

My damn phone is pulling 20MB, my computer tat should have three times the bandwidth is getting 2.1 like 3 minutes ago. I'm starting to get annoyed.

My ping used to be 50 or less, now it's 200 between noon and midnight, then 50 after midnight. It's awful. I can barely play when it's that high and I'm not really enjoying the game as much as I used to. I'm on east coast of U.S. using FIOS.

Ok....down here in Florida and I'm now experiencing a trmendous amount of bad ping....I normally held solid at 59ms and now all of the sudden I'm at a horrible 200 - 250+ ping....what's going on with this?

[Yokaiko]

^^ that is the final jump before Toronto, and I would LOVE to hear how the hell I'm getting routed through Germany for a 6 ******* hour drive to Toronto.

Not sure who your service is but my service is routing me though GERMANY on the way to Toronto I posted a map link to the IP location for internaop-gw (yeah its that slow)

That being said Saturday night (I think it was) I had my normal 32ms pings for a few hours and my net was functioning at normal capacity.

I'm going to tear someone at Verzion a new one, starting with where the other 57Mbs of bandwidth that I'm paying for are going exactly.

UK here. I used to be regularly around 100 - 110ms but the past week it's been 170 - 200. Nothing has changed except the game and with so many of us having issues there must be something up.

Something that might be related to this, maybe not, I'm noticing a lot of missed shots and I don't mean I missed something I was aiming at either. I mean I hit fire and nothing happens repeatedly. I've just got out of a match where I hit fire *four* times and nothing happened. Shots not being acknowledged in any way has never happened to me before and I know the weapons weren't on cooldown.

To head off potential questions they weren't UACs, it was SRM6s that didn't fire. After the third attempt I even stared at the weapons to make sure they weren't on cooldown, tried a fourth time and then I was killed when they again failed to fire.

Argentina here. My ping used to be 170 - 180. Now is around 250, and I cant play its really laggy.

[Akulakhan]

I certainly love all the attention both PGI and Verizon is giving this. Who wants paying customers amirite?

[Typatty]

I'm going to continue posting here until someone at PGI acknowledges that this is a serious problem for the people (TRYING) to play their game.

This thread's been here almost a month, man! If it didn't happen before it probably won't happen now.

[Nasty McBadman]

My ping has gone from the mid 30s to about 140. I am sure if PGI knew we were having a problem like this there would be SOME kind of a response. Maybe someone should let them know this problem is happening to members of the playerbase.

[SgtMagor]

hmm there was a small patch today, didn't have a chance to go online. but i'm usually good for a 22-26 ping

You are not the first person to experience this.

MWO is the only game that I play online that experiences this issue.

Either way, you are more likely to find a con dom machine in the Vatican than hearing something from PGI.

My ping has mostly gone back down. When I first started playing in CB I was getting high 20's-30's, then later on I ended up averaging mid 50-60's. Since the patch I am usually getting mid 30's but yesterday during NA primetime I was back in the 60's.

[Deathlike]

Have pings been OK today for those of you on Verizon (FIOS or DSL)?

I have Verizon's DSL and have been experiencing the same stuff since the patch that was referenced in January and today (after the server going down for a longer period than expected) the ping was pretty normal for me.

Before the extended server outage, I'd get 150-200ms and on non-peak times (past 11PM EST) and today, I got a ping of 50-80ms. Is it just my luck or what?

[DrxAbstract]

I played for the first time in weeks at 8pm EST straight through to 11pm and aside from spiking to 200ms during initial gameplay loading, my ping remained a steady 60ms all the way.

While im excited to have this over with, im not getting my hopes up just yet - it could be a fluke, or temporary.

[Karl Split]

yup bad lag here (uk) i cant shoot some lights for **** now :S

WHY Y HAVE TO SUDDENLY THE WHOLE SERVER THEGARTH

As of yesterday I'm back to normal.

After making it to T3 escalations with two divisions of Verizon, considering I'm mainframe computer guy by trade I love when they try to give me stupid answers. Spent two hours yesterday beating a guy over the head with speedtests, speak easy results and trace routs.

Linking the guy the mapquest link to the switch in Germany shut that dude down rapidly.

Still waiting for someone to tell me where the screw up was.

Been running my usual 32-40ms since yesterday.
