Since the new Anniversary patch it has been especially bad. I live in Japan and I play in OCE realms (Barthilas). My home latency is about 230-250. This is also the number in other games when I play on an Australian server.
Anyway, since the new patch my world latency has been 450 at all times, and when i enter combat the game gets so far behind it’s virtually unplayable. 1000 or higher. Is there anything I can do about this? Like is being in combat causing this issue when it shouldn’t?
Online searches are very unreliable and make things unclear. Please help </3
I appreciate your response, and I read them both. I’ll give the latter link some tries later.
That being said, the former one doesn’t really help explain much to me. I understand how they’re different, but I don’t understand why the world one might be so much worse now recently, when it wasn’t before?
Do you mind being more specific about where in Japan? Maybe a submarine cable is down or overloaded, but I would need to know your city to know which cable you use to reach Sydney.
Has nothing to do with our connections. I know your whole thing is just copy/pasting the basic informaiton most people learn by the time their twelve but the problem is on Blizzards end. Major ms issues on home world, random ms spikes and huge input lag to the point where I press an ability 4 times in a row with nothing happenning.
Adding a reply to disparage a volunteer is a weird play. I am asking Gentletide, the OP of the thread, for more information to help them troubleshoot.
Additionally, I’m not aware of any copypasta that involves reviewing submarine cable routes. I’m essentially offering to go above and beyond to troubleshoot for them, but you want to attempt to spoil the conversation because you’re having connection issues on a different continent? (This is a rhetorical question.)
And since we’re here, “their” means ownership, whereas “they’re” means “they are.” People often confuse the two, especially when firing off ill-suited insults.
Technically, your ISP should be routing you through the AJC (Australia-Japan Cable). I don’t see any news reports about damage to that cable system, but it wouldn’t hurt to do a search from your location, since I’m only being served news in English. You can see more about that route here: https://ajcable.com.
However, if they’re not routing you through there to reach Sydney (the location of Barthilas), then it might be the reason you are picking up extra lag.
Unfortunately, you can no longer run network tests to the Sydney server since the IP addresses are not public info. You might be able to use a VPN to skip over the laggy route or get directed onto another. The only way to find out which route is being used is probably through the ISP.
