Higher Ping in B06 and Warzone since Verdansk update

[Copacabanah]

Hi all,

Firstly Happy Easter to everyone, I hope you’re having a great time.

Overall super happy with my Netduma R3 compare to my older xr500, I finally got rid of bufferbloat 🥳

Now I was wondering if someone noticed the same, since the Verdansk update my overall pings in Europe are higher then before,  but surprisingly, my connection to Madrid shows now 51ms and before it was 28ms max on the ping heat map. (I live in Portugal so it’s the closest server) searching starts over 41ms, before it was 28ms, i have a 1000mbit/100mbit connection.

I was checking already in the Forum, disabled ping stabilizer (heard that this could fix the issue, once a ms buffer is added, which makes sense), resynced the cloud, restarted router, but so far, no results. I am on the last duma os Version. Thinking about to re-install the firmware to see if it helps when I "reset” everything. Once early in the mornings I barely could find games with Geo filter in Madrid only, I use now nearly whole Europe so Geo filtering in general shouldn’t be an issue as well.

Also, since the newest firmware update, the ping optimiser cannot achieve better results anymore and tells me to not to worry 😅

Look forward to hearing back from you guys soon. In the next days, if nothing helps I will reset the router and post the results of the ping tests if necessary, 

cheers legends 💪🏼

I am quite confident this will be due to the Easter holidays - more people playing the game (especially because of the update) so there is more load on the game servers. More people online/at home also means more ISP congestion and so with those two combined this could account for increased ping and decreased game performance. It's unlikely given you've not changed anything why pings would suddenly rise.

Thank you Fraser for your fast reply!

That is actually a good possibility. I will keep an eye on it and loop back if necessary.
