Infoseye Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 Just a general question. On the server I'm connected to when I do a ping I get 7-8ms, but when I go I to network settings to check the ping(call of duty black ops4 in game menu) network settings - network connection meter I see 25ms Is there a reason why it's different? And not the same?
Infoseye Posted March 21, 2019 Author Posted March 21, 2019 Also my bandwidth on bo4 under network settings says 3mb it should be more if I'm correct, sorry for the poor quality of pictures. I just wonder what all this details means, please advise accordingly, thank you.
BIG__DOG Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 The in-game stats are not to be relied upon, they are notoriously inaccurate. If you disable geo filter and view the in-game stats again you will see that it is the same. I have a 330mbps connection and it shows in the game I have 4mbps (no matter what router I use).
Netduma Staff Netduma Jack Posted March 21, 2019 Netduma Staff Posted March 21, 2019 Big Dog is correct above. The in-game ping shown in Call of Duty is extremely unreliable - for some reason it doesn't test directly to the game servers, rather it pings to an exchange and then to the server. That means the in-game ping reading is always higher than it actually is. If you want to read your ping accurately use the Geo-Filter, since it pings the server directly. And aye, the bandwidth reading will rely on the in-game and console clients which will limit your speeds, but the game only uses <0.5mbps. It's just allocating the resources it needs.
