gameplay Fifa / ea fc for PS5

[ruhmer89]

hey, i cant get smooth gameplay on ea fc / Fifa

The biggest Problem is matchmaking.

matchmaking

I´m from Germany, but always become connectet to players from UK or Netherlands. 

So for now i have my old Nighthawk xr500. And the geofilter did great job. For now i`m always connectet to Frankfurt with 10ms. Thats great and a huge benefit. Sometimes the geo filter shows me the server in Netherlands is allowed but then i quit the game and connect again until it is denied, so only the Frankfurt server is allowed. I think my ea Datas are saved on the netherlands server, cause without geo filter im only connectet to this server altough my ping to frankfurt is better.

tried VPN - cyberghost gaming server Frankfurt - but geo Filter works better and i can see where im connectet. With VPN on xr500 and geo filter on, there is no benefit. without vpn, the ping is up to 5 ms better so i disabled VPN.

so for Matchmaking geo filter works best and always (with workaround).

First i had UPNP on. But gameplay was not the best. 

So best gameplay i have with portforwarding rules:

- UDP 9000-9999 for matchmaking - results in always having the best ping games. without this rule, i often challange players with 20 ms. with rule on, always 8-12 ms ping.

- 3659 (EATunnel) on

thats the ports opened by UPNP. so i forwarded them. and disabled UPNP.

Further when i portforwarded the ports especially for FIFA / EAFC

UDP 3074, 3478-3479 

TCP 3478-3480

the game feels smooth but!!!! it absolutely benefits my oponent. Its like a connection boost for my oponent. No chance for winning any matches.

So i diabled them. and only play with forwarding rules like UPNP. 9000-9999 and 3659.

So i have fair gameplay and can win a lot of matches with great ping and german oponents. but never have perfect gameplay. But its ok.

With other Routers like my fritzbox or Tp-Link router, there is better gameplay and feels smooth, when im connectet to germany but its 1 out of 10 times so 9 out of 10 im connectet to UK or netherlands and its horrible...

so i need geo filter and it worked very well.

 

need help for qos

So i Need some help to set QOS perfectly. The Nighthawk benefits my matchmaking but anything makes my connection / gameplay worse.

 

Fpr now, the best effect i have by disable QOS.

I have fibreglass 250 down, 100 up - without qos on ive great speed tests. Wafeform bufferbloat shows some bufferbloat in download under load but we never use the whole network. 

Changing congestion control does make it worse.

 

But i would like to use traffic prioritation.

So games console doesnt work great. because for example squad battles mode on ea fc doesnt work with games console or the menu. 

i would like to benefit my PS5 for traffic priorisation. 

My idea: 

choose ps5 - ports all portrange 1-655xx UDP and TCP  - advanced (wired connection) + apply to WAN 

So that rule woult benefit all traffic from my ps5 first isnt it?

thanks for your help

If your ping is fine then I don't think it will be the router at fault. You could try the rule 1024-65535 TCP/UDP - Normal - Apply to WAN and see if you have an improvement though
