Can somebody explain this real quick?


Recommended Posts

Ok. I have the netduma, doing some testing. Im still trying to optimize

my connection for gaming.

 

Im noticing something really strange though whilst playing. When Im sitting

in a lobby, my ping is significantly lower than when Im actually playing. Ill find

that I have a 22 ms ping to the host, and then AS SOON as the game starts my ping jumps up to about 44-45 ms.

Why is it that my ping is never below 40 ms in game? Why does it say 22 ms, when Im in a lobby, waiting for the

game to start like everyone else, and then jump to 45 ms when I start playing? this doesn't make any sense to me.

 

My diagnostic test on the net duma says everything is exceptional, except for ping, which is "good".

and here is a link to my ping plotter test results.

My last mile ping time must be fixed at around 40 ms, or maybe my house just adds 20 ms to the ping times. I dont know anymore

this stuff is way too complicated for me. Im trying my best.... help!

First of all can you follow this guide - at the end it has the best settings for most supported game so you can choose the game that you play :) You might find that the ping become better after doing that.

 

Can you post a screen shot of the detailed internet diagnostics. This is what you see after you click 'details' once you have run the test.

 

Did you have auto-ping on? Is it possible that once you were in a  game that it started pinging another host? This would explain why the ping increased once you were in a game.

Yes i do have auto ping on!! Ill change this immediately!!

thanks crossy. Thank you very much. Ill try this stuff out.

 

Ok, I suspect that it was pinging a different server in the pre-game lobby and then switched to the actual host in the game :)

So you got a pretty low base ping. If you keep your ping assist at around 35 then keep the rest as recommended in the set up guide you should have some very low ping games :)

Ok. Thanks for looking at my ping results. Yea Im just going to have to play around with the settings until I find just the right stuff for me.

 

Sometimes I get laggy spikey games and sometimes Im getting absolutely stunning hit detection. I am glad I bought the net duma though,

it has opened up a lot of options for me. Thank you very much for the links they have helped me a TON Crossy!!!! I cant thank you enough.

I will give this product a great review when Ive tested more and when Im sure of my settings.

 

and... if you have a boss, tell him I said you deserve a bit of a raise.

Awesome glad you're enjoying the Duma and working on optimising the experience.

 

Crossy is a legend he's still in school so I guess his boss is the headmaster lol

Crossy in step 5 says:

 

     "Then press the snap button two times which will set the optimum distance for you. "
 
How come this buttons sets the optimum distance for someone? I thought the increment is predefined and fixed.
