Ping question

Post by Zon3r »

This never happened to me before, it's not a big deal, i know, but posted it because it makes no sense to me. My ping to mia, fairgamers and ldg are fine, same as usual, but for ceonss and omni it has doubled, based on what kind of logic does that work? did a pingtest on speedtest, and it's fine, it not a problem on my end. what gives?

You tryed to ping the IPs via CMD -> ping?

Edit: Your ping seems to be fine. The displayed ping in UT is not always the real one.

By the time i saw your message, it fixed itself. as for not displaying the correct ping, i have refreshed many many times. besides tried playing too, but its hard with 180 ping :D
it's that i find it strange that only those two servers were affected, must be some kind of sorcery

I don't know what the reason is, but I have seen this before.. refresh it one or two times and it should be somewhat correct.

If there's an issue with the server it will affect all the players. If you have a high ping to all or some of the main servers, then the issue is client-side.

MIA, FG'ers, LDG, OMNI and us all use different hosts, so the most likely cause is an issue with a node between you and the servers you are having issues with. You probably need to connect through a number of nodes to reach those servers and if one of those is having problems, you will be affected. Even our players close to the server still need to pass through 3/4 nodes.

He is connected to the server via lan cable. No nodes. :lol:
