Matthew_D Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 my latency is around 15 to 17 ms without steady ping on so my thing is is it really neccessary to use it an if i do should i just put it on simple ? or does i mean does my not fluctuate that much to need to have it on in your opinion ? any input would be appreciated thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted August 16 Administrators Share Posted August 16 It's always useful to have enabled to help cover any jitter/spikes as you can never know when they may occur. In your case using simple or expert set at 20ms would limit the increase in the ping while still receiving the benefits. Matthew_D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what has been said the ping fluctuates between 15-17ms, that's what we know but it could fluctuate a little more so as an extra buffer that's why I suggested 20ms. Setting it at 20ms would add less ping than simple mode also so overall it's a good balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKNESS Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 @Matthew_DPing is king the lower the better the only time you would want to use steady ping is when you have a fluctuation that is noticeable like ex (5-20) if it just 15-17ms there really no purpose as your just adding additional latency and 2ms differential isn't going to affect you.

Fuzy Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 ---Ping is not necessarily the King! A stable server... An optimized line... works very well. I have seen people play on 100ms servers and it works very well for them. Keep in mind that Steady ping is a tool that certainly adds an extra ping buffer but that ensures stability in games (no lag, WTF moment) on unstable servers or in case of congestion on your line.--- Matthew_D and titofuenla 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zli Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 @Netduma FraserIs it possible in the next software update at the end of the month, as Alex said, to set this to start with 5ms and not start with 10ms? Example: I have the Geo Filter for the Legionowo server for MW3 and my Ping is 40ms and when I set it to expert 10ms, as you can see in the video, my ping is 50ms. So I don't see the difference between Simple and Expert mode. If I set the Expert ping to 45ms, my ping would then be 95ms in the game.
