Server providers for South-Africa
|
WOW, this is the best thing since sliced bread!!!
Haven't played in years after struggling with the map bosses at 200ms latency, but every now and then I checked to see if a South African server was available. Stumbled across this thread today, dropped everything and immediately installed Path of Exile. I am hooked all over again!!! This game is just the best ARPG out there and with the South African server, even though it is still just in experimental, I was finally able to experience PoE in all it's glory. My latency is 8ms solid. Jumps up to 25ms every now and again which I wouldn't even know if it wasn't for the graph. Everything is buttery smooth and I will be playing daily. Can't wait for the new league to start on Friday. Thanks for giving us this server. I am hoping all goes well and it can be made permanent. :D | |

The IPs for the two servers on bare metal we're testing are:
165.73.241.58 165.73.241.34 If you could take a WinMTR when you're getting lag spikes to one of those IPs and post it, it would be helpful. It would also be useful to see if which providers are having this issue and which are good without any issues. | |

Thanks Fitzy will be sure to give feedback as soon as I see spikes. I can say for sure I have had 0 issues on the 102 range server.

@Fitzy_GGG
This test was done from about 21:30-23:00 last night  Latency seems to start getting really bad in the evenings when usage increasing I assume, with spikes over 250ms at points on the 165.73.241.x range servers. The Azure server stays stable throughout the evening with little to no spikes at all. From the MTR it seems the problem comes in when it gets to the 10.81.81.2 node on the psychz servers, before that the latency is stable from what I can see. The ISP I'm with is herotel fibre in the Western Cape Area. Last edited by Bakelite on Oct 20, 2021, 1:40:27 AM

Is your router dropping ICMP packets? Even your first hop to your router has packet loss.

Here you go. Same issue for me as for others - included azure WinMTR for comparison.    ISP: Canalbox Rwanda Last edited by falagar112 on Oct 20, 2021, 2:46:41 AM

MTR to 165.73.241.34 (Psychz):
" MTR to 165.73.241.58 (Psychz): " MTR to 102.37.124.252 (Azure): " Doesn't seem nearly as bad as what you guys are seeing, but the Azure instance seems to be less spikey. I'll do another run tonight when there's higher load on the servers. ISP: Cool Ideas, Cape Town, South Africa | |
