[Main Thread] Lag in public games

The game was fine last night… Today, ~900 ms lag. Pinged google, no problems there.

This was a solo game. Seeing a lot of reports of T16 bounty games being unplayable.

Please fix. Thanks.

Here’s the as57976.net stats from another WinMTR 203 count run:

ae1-br02-eqch2.as57976.net - 1 | 180 | 179 | 0 | 944 | 1817 | 1760 |

:frowning:

2hr 10 minute later:
The game connection seems fine now, but the lag on the above noted as57976.net hop is still crazy.

ae1-br02-eqch2.as57976.net - 0 | 68 | 68 | 219 | 1211 | 2461 | 623 |

Still lag in public bounty game.

Is Blizzard doing anything?

Here on the west coast, it’s no better. They’re really craping the bed on this one.

Problem only exists when loading into Public Bounties.

WinMTR v0.92 GPL V2 by Appnor MSP - Fully Managed Hosting & Cloud Provider

Still lagging as of Sunday Dec 19, 10:00 pm EST. The red diamonds take a minute to flash by, then I’m in a public game and the lag makes doing anything (even looking up your stash or Map) just impossibly long. Funny thing: I noticed the chat listing ALL the bounties for that game. Never noticed THAT before.

I have the same issue and it’s been that way since the start of the new season. This is very frustrating taht they won’t even acknowledge the issue to began fixing it.

+1 - bounties are unplayable for seemingly 80% of games. It takes a very long time to join, can easily spend 10-15 minutes trying to get a playable public bounty game. I’m at a point where I really need bounty mats to progress via legendary rerolls, but getting them is just way too painful right now.

I am also having lag in public bounty games. I have been trying for days and they are all unplayable.

Issue is still there. Nothing being said by Blizz or Blue? I can’t find anything. Ever since the start its been horrid unless your are playing solo even then I have to close and open a new game.

Well this is lovely…only seems to occur when you get stuck with long load screens, for me at least but it sure as hell is more frequent tonight for some reason. It’s faster for me to Alt+F4 my way out of the game instead of let me leave it through the menu…

12-23-2021 @ 1:08am.
5 game close and restarts due to indefinite loading screens and above 4000 red lag. The one successful bounty game had me above 110ms latency, which is not normal of course.

So, before running a new WinMTR. I did a Windows update, waited 25 mins at the desktop after the update and reboot finished. I then:

  • rebooted cable modem
  • rebooted router
  • rebooted PC and waited for the telemetry thing to do its job
  • ran speedtest to a local in-state server which returned 9ms ping, 341.96 Mbps down, and 36.84 Mbps up (normal)
  • ran speedtest to Spectrum in Los Angeles, CA which returned 72ms ping, 163.76 Mbps down, 36.96 Mbps up

I then started up the game, WinMTR, and attempted to run pub bounty games. Below is the WinMTR results. Is there something else I should be doing to improve performance?

Update:
All of the nodes that end in .as57976.net are apart of the Level 3 network. I, and many others, have had loads of trouble over the years with our traffic going through the level 3 network.

bumping for response/fix. pls, i just want to do bounties in pubs.

Was stopping by for an update, not sure why I was shocked that there isn’t one.

As of today I am experiencing the same issue. I can not play in public parties period.

Have never had this problem before today. Super lag trying to enter game, super lag when in game and can’t run even 1 bounty. WTF

super lag in NA server. not able to play.

I cant play public - tremendous lag.
Solo game latency fluctuating between red and yellow.
Please fix.

This game is becoming unplayable and no devs are responding now after so many days.

What happens guys? I finally played a bit yesterday but now it’s again unplayable
