Why is there so much bad lag and Jitter right now? common topic in game is " is anyone else lagging? 1 second delays, rubber banding foward through time, disconnected. I’m on hard-core, can u fix your server please? it is unplayable right now. (I play on American server)
I’m not lagging or jittery. Likely most other players aren’t experiencing any lag or jitter. Take it from a software engineer - its likely something on your end.
D2R frequently has much higher latency for me then any other Blizzard game. I can have 80ms in OW then go into D2R and have 2-300+. This was happening in D2R beta as well and has never really changed since then. Other times I get 125ish, but whenever I bother to check I don’t really go below 100 in D2R I don’t think (I don’t frequently put the /fps display up though since it covers the top portrait and is very annoying to have on the UI).
Testing with a VPN when it’s high and making it annoying to teleport and connecting to servers farther away where I should see a latency increase at least slightly will sometimes instead get 100ms lower. While you’d think that would demonstrate a bad hop that you’re now avoiding, if you test with winmtx with and without the VPN you don’t see the same thing. Your average latency to the IP addresses they tell you to test is much lower than in game and you don’t see the same difference when testing with or without the VPN.
I could never figure it out and don’t play enough to really care enough to try more. I also don’t have an enigma so I notice it less when I’m not on my sorc, which was most of the time in ladder since I was mostly just re-leveling alts with different builds.
