Either that or they can figure out how to break physics. It takes time to get from one point to another. "Bunch of IP" is probably the 15 other players in his 16 player game. If it's AWS they're probably masquerading it for obvious security reasons. On Sat, Feb 1, 2025 at 6:47 PM Ken Hohhof <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Move closer to the server? I assume you don’t mean if the server is in Virginia, tell the customer to move to Virginia? FWIW, I torched the customer’s traffic trying to determine where the server was, and saw a bunch of IP addresses communicating with his gaming PC. I took the one with the most traffic, and ping time to it was around 10 ms, but rDNS was blahblahblah.awsglobalaccelerator.com <http://blahblahblah.awsglobalaccelerator.com> I think. So AWS routes the traffic across a private network supposedly to improve performance?

It could be a dedicated server or a peer to peer game. The latter is more common (cheap bastards). The #1 thing you can do to reduce latency is move closer to the server.

What is the ping time displayed in some games? Someone will tell me it’s like 200 ms, but speedtest.net <http://speedtest.net> reports 15, and a command line ping reports 13 min, 15 avg, 20 max. I don’t know what to do with the numbers they quote from the game, they don’t correlate to anything I can measure. -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
