Very large Ping Spikes
« on: August 05, 2013, 05:39:44 pm »
I've tried playing a couple matches over the past few days and I've noticed quite the rollercoaster going on in terms of my ping. It will fluctuate anywhere from 64 to 428 in any game no matter what region. Also once or twice a minute the ships will all stop moving and while I can move around the ship and shoot guns (not hit anything), the ship will suddenly teleport forward and I'll be left with a 5-15 second gap where nothing happened. Does this have something to do with the recent DDOS attack? Also it seems specific to GoI because in gmod, CSS, and TF2 I've only been seeing around 30-70 ping with the highest being around 150 in eastern EU/Asia servers.

Yeah I've also noticed an increase in connection issues. I'm assuming it has something to do with the DDOS attack, as you said.

There's also been a large influx of players to the game recently. I figure it's probably a combination of the two.

Yeah, if you look at the number of Beginners matches going on, and the stat for number of players waiting in lobby, I'd imagine the servers are quite stressed atm. Been a huge surge in popularity recently.
