Increased Overall Ping (Not PB Related)

[AeneasXI]

very annoying indeed...
Every game with 30+ players is unplayable and even under that it is very laggy... 64players is a lagmess. I hope they will change that soon since its killing the fun off! (no wonder only 1000 people playing and not 2k+...)

I've found it harder to find a sub 70ms server after the patch (70ms is my limit for decent gameplay for me). I usually prefer ones around 50ms or less. But now it's really hard/impossible to find them.

And when i do find one, despite the ingame scoreboard showing my ping being fine, i find myself suddenly lagging and jumping forwards 2meters or so every few minutes. I see it happening to other players on my screen as well, i'll be shooting at them and suddenly they warp to a new position a few meters away even though mine and there pings are apparently around 50

It's a game breaker for me, and its now pretty unplayable. It's not like i have a super connection, it's just a 3mb ADSL connection.. but i have no latency problems on other MP games, usually hovers around 30 to 50 mark in Valve games like TF2 or CSS.

I registered just to say that in my last game everyone's ping was around 200 no exceptions at all. The new patch has created some serious issues regarding ping.

Yeah, I had the same thing.

Although if the server owner is trying to run a 64-slot server on crap hardware, it isnt TWI's fault.

Same here, all are pretty much over 100 ping these days even the UK ones (Im in sweden, should be 30 usualy)

+1
I also see much worse pings since 9 Sept. When I first start the game, some of the servers show pings up to 2000. (!)

The same thing happens in BFBC2. The server broswer reports pings of 30-60. But when I check the scoreboard, it says 100.

I seem to remember Dice saying it's normal, and that 100 is surposed to be the 'adjusted ping' or 'compensated ping'. Something about balancing peoples pings to reduse desync and lag between players.

The problem with increased ping is related to bad performance. Those new maps that were introduced require more ressource on top of that. So it stress the server alot more overall.
