New Server location - How is your ping?

My understanding is the servers have moved to a new locaiton... I think I read somewhere that it was an old military bunker?

Anyway, point is I'm curious to see if anyone has noticed a change in their ping? I'm in the UK and mine has unfortunately gone up.

Old location: 180-220
New location: 250-320

What has other people's experience been?

I too am in the UK, and mine doesn't seem to have worsened. I usually go by the ping detailed in the stats menu (user list, whatever you call it). Mine's been about 45 to 50 since 1.1.5.1, before that it had been 37. Now it's resting around 47 and 48.

Regarding the possibility for EU servers to improve our ping, how would this be implemented? Would we still be able to access US servers at the cost of our ping, or will we be completely confined to our own EU servers?

mine has stayed the same. always around 25-30.

I don't think they have moved the game severs yet, just the login servers so far. Playing last night felt like the same rented servers.

Same as before 18 to 25

I hope so, ping went from 200ms to 225ms the day they came back online. I say they have to do some optimizing or what ever they call it.

lets just say i had 168ms when 1st released i was 17-45 or so
then post last patch i went up to 100. then the good old 168 now.

30-40 still so I'm happy.

On old server 40ms, now 60-80.

Poland/Europe

Firesky more profesionalism.
Play Commando on this ping is impasible.
Fireresky are students.

You should consider yourself lucky compared to the ping alot of other Europeans are getting.

Issue with this is some network adjustments just doesn't fix it as there are plenty of other factors that can come into play.

Antzuch if my ping was 60-80 my KDR with Commando would go to sky, I have 1.75 KDR (and still should be higher since a lot of deaths come from desativated clays) and my ping was NEVER EVER below 190, I just played once since the servers back and was 220-235.

I lurk ever so often but seeing as Bad Company 2 is out now, working on fixing my computer as well, and the pause in development of SGW; my interests have led me else where to buy my time.

this is the wrong ping, as a ping of less than about 90 is impossible in the uk with us servers. you need to use the stat net ping.

Indeed, but I do find that the ping in the stats menu is representative of the ping on stats net. It's not accurate, but if that's up I'm sure the accurate ping is also up!

Last servers and patches

Score table: 44-49 ping
Real ping: 170-189 ping

New servers and patches

Score table: 54-64 ping
Real ping: 210-400 ping


LOCATION: SPAIN

My guess is the servers are somewhere near me. 24-27 ping max every game.

Just a quick note about European pings... this new server location is step 1 in setting up for European servers. Our new partners have data centers throughout the world. As soon as we've completed all aspects of our move, and gotten these next few patches out, we plan to launch some European servers, which should greatly reduce the ping. We'll also look at optimizing as best we can in the meantime.

yeah thats cool european servers

Anything lower than 80ms is faster than what your brain can perceive pain from your face, maybe its not your latency.

Plz dont talk........


If you have 300 ms and shot to a enemy... u with much difficulty maybe can make a hit... if your weapon make 10 damage (pistol on scis) u never can kill thanks god scis have turret and poison... if try with p90 3 of 10 shots impact on enemy... with sniper never... continue?

Best news I've heard this past week.

Thanks for keeping us up to date.

Ping is exactly the same range.

Really doesnt matter unless theres some oceanic servers or they give us the ability to host our own.

Wut?

I was talking to the dude complaining about 60-80ms latency, not 300.
