I'll see if I can get our provider to do something to improve the routing through Chicago issue.

There's also potentially Montreal as another server location if Toronto doesn't work out.

It'd be interesting to see a WinMTR to speedtest.tor01.softlayer.com to see if that goes through Chicago too.

Fitzy, you've been on fire lately responding to these issues. Just wanted to say I appreciate you and give my thanks!

I am in Northern Ontario, about 500 miles NW of Toronto.

ping to WASH is 37ms but this league has seen insane issues with bad instances that have 500 to 3000 ping. Creating a new instance solves that problem, but results in many wasted maps.

Ping to new Toronto server is 50ms but very stable.

Tracert shows a messed up routing...

It goes to Sudbury, then 2 places in Toronto, then 3 places in Chicago, then 4 places in Toronto.


My ISP is BELL fiber 400 Mbit service.

I'm excited, about twice as close to Toronto than I am to DC.

I'm getting between 16-33ms on PC.

I hope this can be tried on console soon because yeah that DC server blows.

I live in Northern Ontario (about 1300km) from Toronto. Ping is relatively close to Washington or Texas, so I don't know if its the placebo effect, but so far this feels much smoother. So a big thank you for being such an awesome company.

wooooooooooow 13 ms THANK YOU

I live in the Villeray borough, Montréal, Québec.
I'm getting 18 ping ( about 550 km from where I live )
never seen the game run so smoothly, its amazing thank you.

I live in Toronto, and I get the same/slightly worse ping than I do to DC server.

Thanks for your efforts!

Hopefully this can be improved!

Seems most everyone either in Toronto or outside Toronto is having the path go into Toronto, then head out and bounce around Chicago 3 times, before coming back to Toronto.

Hopefully that can yoyo path can be straightened out.

I'm in Gatineau and I'm getting a steady 20-25ms ping with this new gateway. Great addition, thank you.
