UK Servers messed up!

TheThrid

Good Evening,
It seems that UK servers became too laggy for human use to be honest- My ping over there should be 85-95, RIGHT NOW it's 192 (almost stable).
Restarting both of my PC and router without anything changing, that's when i decided to check NA, My ping over there is just as normal as it would be on any other day, 180-170.
which brings us to the actual problem, UK servers.

Have you tried changing to another UK server? Since the UK servers are working fine for me.

Maybe there is something wrong in your end? There are several things which could affect your ping. For example, the weather, distance, strength of the signal, internet speed etc etc.

TheShadowRo is the first one to report this problem from outside my region, all 4 players living near me have the exact same ping i have right now, also, we're all on different ISPs.

Keep in mind that you also may be routing through an area that has ping issues which might be limiting you, and may be causing the similar ping to your friends that are on different IP's.

I have thought of that, is it possible to track that down? I've been trying all day long, even tried using online speed tests, it's only happening in-game, so i guess one of the late routers is messed up, I'll keep trying and hopefully find something helpful.

//EDIT

i just tried a connection tunneling software (basically reroutes your connection to a shorter more effective route) "PingZapper", Nothing happened except my ping became VERY stable.
My usual ping - 87-95
My current ping - 185-230
My current ping with PingZapper - 188-187 (Stable at all times)
hopefully this information helps.

Havn't noticed any issues. My ping is normally 6-10 in UK, sometimes it spikes up to 30-40, but that's it. Can't really complain.

It seems UK/Germany weren't affected, although Jordan, Romania, and I'm guessing Egypt since they're all lagging ingame.

Different topic my friend, check if your region is supported by another CF version.

Yeah strange things are happening in game.Some of our clan and myself are experiencing lag issues but our ping remains normal. Sometimes it feels like running through sand. Maybe today`s maintenance will sort it. I use UK servers and live in UK. Ping between 27/35 but just does`nt feel right. P.S someone said to me that Z8 downgraded the servers. Not sure if this is correct though. Maybe someone can enlighten us?
