Joining Games in 0.9.7

Game Discussion Miscellaneous

Dear Devs,

 

Since latests patch my game became unplayable. I live in south america and when I join a game on “Any” I will be sent 9 out of 10 into a RU server where my ping is 600 and my packet loss 20-25%… slideshow play, frustration, quit after 2 or 3 attempts. If I choose Europe or US I have tolerable lag and usually no packet loss, BUT! I’ll have to wait 5 or more minutes to get a 3v3 match (with 1 or 2 bots). So, what is going on?! I never had these problems before 0.9.7! Please fix this as I’m one of too many having the same problem and many are quiting the game in mass. A pity because the game is great and imho it can go on for loooong time, if MM gets fixed ofcourse.

 

Thank you in advance for your time.

It might have to do with it or perhaps not, but disabling “party interface” under Settings → Game reduced packet loss from 20-25% to 3-5% and also reduced lag. Some of my corpmates who live on other places around the world, having the same problem, tried it and also see the same result. Just a note to something you can try to lower killer lag.

Ive been getting that too. Living in Australia sux sometimes as we rarely get servers located locally to oceanic regions.

I will try that party interface disable when I get home and see if I can’t get rid of that 360+ ping to RU or EU servers.
