Server latency

[wiz_of_wuz]

Has anyone else had their latency for the server go to shit? I was 12-18ms and now if I get under 40ms its a fucking miracle. I have like a 2 sec delay between what happens and the server. I have tracert to multiple servers and dont see the latency in my network.

No difference in game play for me. Ill keep an eye out.

That did happen to me once and realized I hadn't rebooted in a long time, plus I had a pending windows update. Updated, rebooted and back to normal.

Same about the reboot. Otherwise I haven't noticed any change in game.

You got to restart your computer at least once a month!

I have had episodes where my ping was in the 70s but it was playing like I was on a 56k dial up.

And its not my connection.

Could be server side or could be bufferbloat. Bufferbloat is worse that having a high ping and connection speed will never be able to show how your packets are moving. I had a slight problem with it and had to go into my QOS and tweak my max speeds to prevent it from effecting my game play.

It's always on the client side. The server side remains stable. You have to remember that "YOU" are connecting to another computer. The server is set to a precise set of instructions. Your computer tries to comply and keep up with the server.

There is latency and noted also from other players

It's either packet bloat, or routing issues to the server. Unless it's actually the server itself (it does happen from time to time). The network icons help figure out what's going on.
