Ping Issues

Sheen_STEVO

For some reason, This started like a week ago. I would get on in the morning, my ping would be fine. As the day goes on it gets higher and higher, then after awhile it stops at 180 steady ping. Then it drops back to normal around 2am est. I tried re installing crossfire, Didnt help. Its not my internet. I dont lag on any other game just crossfire. I need this to stop guys, Any help?

There are many factors which can affect your ping. One of them could be the connection between you and the servers. Make sure that nothing is blocking your internet from you to CrossFire and make sure that nothing in the background which uses internet connection is running.

I've made sure many of times, Its not my internet. If it was wouldnt I lag on other games aswell? Its like this happened overnight.

Are there other people on your connection?

I found that when my family is using things such as Netflix or Skype, my ping sky rockets.

there's another person on the connection but not using anything like netflix or skype, Its been going on for about a week and a half now, I thought it was the xtrap patch not too long ago but idk. Not sure.

It's not CF fault, its 100% your ISP problem. Different ISP use different routing. Routing is the path which is used to connect your ISP to the server that you want to connect to. (ISP- Internet Service Provider)

How do you check your Routing?

press start , search cmd , then type tracert (type any US server website which should be near CF servers), and then hit enter wait till it says completed then you can check the routing of your ISP.

the website changes according to the servers you play on like if i play in uk servers try typing any Germany website and do tracert

roycel

timed out means that you are having a packet loss. Maybe its an ISP issue or maybe they are Fixing the cable(underground cable) not sure you may have to call your ISP.

roycel

pingtest search it on google and try pinging to a server which is in Canada i think for Alpha or bravo , im not sure where they are located. when i do tracert i mostly tracert to some german sites as i have heard that CF Na (uk servers) are located in germany.
