Worst lag: region to country. | Forums

[FormOppo]

I live an hour north of San Diego, California and find the worst lag to be when I play with opponents from Japan, followed by Europe, then Canada. It is a part of online gaming, but does anyone else notice a similarity?

Nope, my game is equally laggy wherever you are.

For online gaming, usually the further someone is from you, the worse your ping to them is going to be, and the worse the lag is going to be.

For people with bad connections, or people playing ACB, it's usually just as bad no matter where you're connecting to, or it fluctuates insanely regardless of location.

I included the line "or people playing ACB" because the game's lag and connectivity issues are insane and weird and don't fit any logical pattern ever to occur in the history of the internet.

And, this is a general comment and not aimed at you, those people need to report lag issues directly to Support - so that the online team can investigate

I usually have major lag issues against people from across the world (because it keeps matching me up against those people!)

I even played at like 4:00-6:00pm est and still found a room full of players on the other side of the ocean... and one U.S. player (who lagged like crazy)
