Ping issues

[Durty]

I’ve tried many different settings and suggestions but for some reason I always have 2 bars on cod with late/terrible hit detection. When I bypass the router and use just the modem, my ping drops and i almost always have 3 bar connection with noticeably better hit reg. I really need help here.

Not to worry, lets figure it out. First thing to note is that if you've got the Geo-Filter on Spectating Mode, your experience should be almost the same as when you're wired to your Modem (albeit with better QoS). Is that the case? Do you struggle to connect or experience much worse lag than your Modem even when the Geo-Filter is effectively disabled?

 

It could also be a NAT issue - make sure you have an open NAT on your console and the game itself.

Are you on XR500 or R1?

Are you playing somewhere far from any servers? I would think you should have 4 green bars if you are connected to the modem.

I always had similar issues with the bars and hit registration when using the geo filter and/or setting the sliders too low. Odd thing was that even with geo filter in spectating mode and claiming that my in game ping was 15 ms, i would get 3 bars and noticable actual lag (players running in place, skipping around, etc.).

I would recommend leaving the sliders at 100 and turning off high priority traffic and see if your game improves. Also try refreshing the flower settings.
