-BATMAN- 17 Posted November 6 Report Share Posted November 6 I want advice from players living in Europe, is there a specific program that has been used and confirmed to work in improving ping? Because I suffer from this thing in the server, as I look like an idiot most of the time, there is lag and delay in receiving commands. 1 Quote Link to comment https://olympus-entertainment.com/topic/48442-request-advice/

The only way to effectively improve your ping (unless you're straight up using faulty or outdated network equipment, or there's some other issue along the line to wherever you're connecting to), is to move closer to where you're connecting to <_< 1 Quote Link to comment https://olympus-entertainment.com/topic/48442-request-advice/#findComment-608760

MAV 1685 Posted November 7 Report Share Posted November 7 No program is going to improve your ping.. 2 options: 1. Better/faster connection 2. Move closer to server ping is simply the response time between a and b. Adding a program won’t improve that.. 1 Quote Link to comment https://olympus-entertainment.com/topic/48442-request-advice/#findComment-608766
Senior Admin David Miller 665 Posted November 7 Senior Admin Report Share Posted November 7 Usually, in these situations, people are thinking VPN... In order for a VPN to improve your ping, there needs to be a pretty major bottleneck between you and the server that isn't you, your ISP, or the server, AND the VPN has to have a way around that bottleneck which isn't guaranteed, AND the bottleneck has to be major enough that adding an extra hop to the VPN to get on a different path to the server is worth it, AND the new path has to be sufficiently fast, AND the added overhead of VPN encryption has to not cause problems. A VPN can improve Ping in very very limited situations, like 1 in 1000 situations, and the only way to know if it will really work is to try it. You will also need a VPN whitelist for our server, and because you will start showing up to the server as the VPN IP instead of your IP, you have to hope no one has ever or will ever be banned using that VPN IP, or else you get caught in the ban. TLDR: Unless your Ping is like super bad, no way to make it better. but theoretically, a VPN in limited situations can help a little. 2 2 Quote Link to comment https://olympus-entertainment.com/topic/48442-request-advice/#findComment-608774
Lead Developer Fraali 1429 Posted November 7 Lead Developer Report Share Posted November 7 The people saying you cant improve your ping aren't quite right; However it entirely depends on where you live. There are programs like ExitLag that forces your connection through their servers instead of going on arbitrary paths. Essentially you connect to an endpoint server by jumping between nodes/servers. ExitLag or similar programs are sometimes able to reduce the amount of jumps and nodes between yourself and the server. Unfortunately you need to buy the aforementioned program, however I believe there is a week trial if you're wanting to give it a shot. (Keep in mind I've not used it myself, but I hear good things about it from people in rural places or when suffering from packet loss) 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://olympus-entertainment.com/topic/48442-request-advice/#findComment-608775

Ive heard of it before and thought about it but not quite sure if it would not be allowed on server Quote Link to comment https://olympus-entertainment.com/topic/48442-request-advice/#findComment-608780

Yenii 4 Posted November 7 Report Share Posted November 7 Try exitlag. Tries to optimize the route to the server you’re trying to connect to. 1 Quote Link to comment https://olympus-entertainment.com/topic/48442-request-advice/#findComment-608784

Developer II Milo 943 Posted November 7 Developer II Report Share Posted November 7 Although sometimes this just flat isn't an option depending on where you live (generally more rural means less options and worse service) but if your ISP is not giving you the rates are quality connection they oftentimes "guarantee" the best thing you can do is have them send a technician out to fix it. Whether it be a bad modem or router equipment they've given you or a bad line that is being ran to your house; usually they can do something about it if you haggle them to come on out. Realistically if there is a problem with your internet, it is their job to fix it as that is also what you are paying for. I've seen a lot of ISPs give out refurbished routing equipment that should've been tossed in the trash too. The technicians who come out are usually a lot more real and helpful then the people you'll get on the phone and will recognize and address those issues. Sometimes you'll also just be limited by where you live or you'll have an ISP who doesn't actually want to cooperate in the ways that they should because it costs too much money. If you haven't spoke with your ISP though I'd give it a shot as that may also solve a lot of problems for you Quote Link to comment https://olympus-entertainment.com/topic/48442-request-advice/#findComment-608790

Senior Web Developer stayclaxxy 659 Posted November 7 Senior Web Developer Report Share Posted November 7 I’ll go ahead and say it since no one has, try changing DNS servers to Google or cloudflare if you can. Usually, ISPs DNS servers are dogshit and slow. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://olympus-entertainment.com/topic/48442-request-advice/#findComment-608792
