What is the deal with server connection. It just blows my mind how I pay for 1 gig DL speeds, extremely high upload speeds. I have 20 latency on every other game and app… yet more often than not, my connection to D4 servers is sustaining 200+ Latency.
What is the issue with this? I have quiet a few clan/community members that have expressed this same issue from time to time. Is this a known thing? A work in progress? Any incite you can give me on the topic please?
Please don’t tell me to port forward or any of that non-sense. That has been done for ages since i’ve been playing Blizzard games. No issues in WoW, D3, D2R, Overwatch, or any other blizzard titles, or any other non-blizzard games, this is a D4 specific issue.
Yeah, now that I think more on it, the entire first week and half. (Early access), was actually smooth and normal/average ping. This really started the past week and has been consistently high.
To add to the context, even though I have 1gig speeds, I even tried using my mobile hotspot just for the sake of trying it, both at 4g and 5g, and it had high 200+ latency consistently as well. Then also tried other games for the sake of testing for comparison and was down to my usual 40-50.
IF, I had to put a suspicion or hypothesis on it. I’d have to guess it is something to do with the “tunnel” and that they are possibly doing some work on the live servers and consistently pushing through unnoted, yet, minor fixes and changes. But then again, idk, at those high of speeds, it shouldn’t have much of an affect unless its causing some sort of server throttling, idk. It’s beyond me.
Latency has been hot garbage since about day 2-3 of launch for me, getting worse day by day. Perfect everywhere else, no packet loss, buttery smooth 800Mbps internet.
I can’t believe two weeks into launch we have gotten a couple of untargeted forum posts from Blizzard, and a campfire chat where some idiot eats cookies while everyone pats themselves on the back while saying “Give it time guys, give it time, we’ll give you the whole game soon™”
Makes it incredibly frustrated when the game doesn’t respond for 1 second and boom you’re dead. Happens constantly and makes pushing harder content a huge pain.
