Server providers for South-Africa
" The spikey instances are on the Psychz servers, while the consistenly low latency zones are on the Azure VM. It's a luck of a dice roll which one you end up on. | |

Thank you @Fitzy_GGG for all your testing and effort. It is highly appreciated.
Here are some more MTR's from this afternoon. Once again, ALL of my friends playing PoE are highly in awe of GGG and especially your efforts to try and assist in giving us a way to play.  | |

Definitely looks like some issues as it hits the internal IP, likely a NAT gateway or load balancer of some sort.

Here's my guess:
It seems like when the servers are at or nearing capacity they start to stutter. I notice problems around the same time we start to get kicked to EU servers. I think it's that the resources per instance are not enough. During low pop hours there are zero issues consistently. I really hope this gets sorted, going back to Frankfurt for half the weekend feels terrible after being at low ping. ***Edit Caught up on the thread, two separate server providers makes sense. Leaving my message up anyway. Last edited by addicted2pawn on Oct 25, 2021, 5:29:22 AM

Played on and off today, didn't hit lag once :) Maybe just lucky that I only got Azure server or possibly Psychz has been removed from the server pool for now.
Either way, I look forward to not having to spam new instances (and losing prophecies while doing so), or gambling with my lab runs :) Hopefully some other options are being looked at, or they are looking at what's causing the instability on the Psychz network. | |

@fitzy_GGG do you think we'll see consoles added to the local server goodness? Wouldn't mind jamming on Xbox with these awesome local pings.

" Pings were much more consistent for me after this, usually <50ms with very few spikes. It really is like playing a whole different game. Never thought we'd be able to use Lockstep. We can't ever go back to 200ms pings now 🥺 PS: I bought a big Supporter Pack 🙄 Maybe it will make a difference 😁 Last edited by SabreWolfy on Oct 26, 2021, 11:14:55 AM

It's looking a lot better today on Psychz:
 I have turned off Lockstep for now, but that's only because it's still somewhat instable. But nowhere near as bad as the weekend where the ping graph looked like a lie detector. Experiencing minor jumps in ping (from 32ms to roughly 64ms). Prior to the last post by Fitzy_GGG, these would range from 32ms to 110ms on average, spiking up way high to 200-300ms. It's getting there! | |

Seems like evenings when the load increases it spikes, during the day I don't have any issues and early hours of the morning, only on the Psychz servers, the Azure is stable as always, would love to know why an internal IP shows up on trace routes and WINMTR

Looks like the ZA servers have gone down completely. Going straight to London after the patch
