Netduma is actually worse for me ?


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I could really do with some help please.

I have had my netduma almost 1 month now but since i installed i seem to be worse off with gameplay experience.

My line is virginmedia fibre 150mb down 12mb up , i have modem mode enabled and am hardwired to ps4 and wireless to laptop

 

So my first issue is with battlefield and fifa 15/16 it feels like i am playing in a USA server on 200ms plus, there is a response delay to player movement and if i manage to pull host it is terrible and lag spikes horribly every 20-30 seconds yet the ping graph shows ok (40ms) except the spikes,

 

the wireless speeds are terrible 20mb/3mb even when filter is disabled and sliders back to 100%

(speed is not a real problem providing i could game perfect)

 

Overall I now get worse lag and less speeds :(

I have followed the optimal settings guide to the dot and have a good general understanding networking anyway so have tried everything i have read on here but to no avail

 

for the past two days i have run my asus ac68 router just with QOS enabled and its 100x better experience, no delay very occasional lag etc

I had also tried the Modem in router mode on its own and its not as good as the asus but better than Netduma ,

I would really appreciate your help guys as i am sure this is not normal

 

Thanks

Hi Guys, yes I use congestion control with ps4 at 90% and sliders at 70 for both as already stated in post I am Hardwired

 

Virgin modem > Netduma>ps4 ethernet

 

My Internet diagnosis results are exceptional and no loss

 

I will post requested screens asap

ok so heres the screen caps from a fifa online game, it wasnt the worst but had some big spikes then after for 10-15 seconds each time the delay stopped, seems like when it spikes the delay which sometimes doesnt change player or pass etc?

 

really hope you guys can help me :)

Are you on one of Virgin's 'over-utilised' UBR's at the moment ?

 

When you perform a speed test, do the results fluctuate during peak times ? (VM peak times are 14:00 (roughly) - 23:59)

At 00:00 Virgin is uncapped & 95% of tests give you the speeds that you pay for.

I feel you bro. On bf4 I have to disconnect my r1 for the game to play well and ive done just about everything in the forum. Hopefully the new update address some concerns I have

Me too. Destiny is worse with netduma. And please dont ask me if I done that and that, yes I have done every possible think. Hope they do something that I dont regret the purchase.

I have variable experience with the Netduma, I only usually play AW and it either plays ok ish or totally crap.

But it seems to be the same with Ghost the few times I have tried it.

There does seem to be a pattern with a particular ISP (Virgin) as I also have Virgin, and an Asus router in bridge mode which I use for wifi.

 

I have tried all the settings for my speeds etc, always have good/exceptional tests results and no packet losses, but to be perfectly honest I still get the same gameplay with or without the Duma, but I do like the features on it :)

I use my Netduma with BF4 all the time and its an absolute fantastic, stops me connecting to US servers and if i feel like i am struggling check the ping on the server. if its bad back out and find a new game. for me the bad servers seem to be in Ireland no idea why!!! Happy to give you my setting if you would like.

 

As for Fifa 15 worked an absolute treat after using the netduma playing pro clubs we went from div 6 to div 2 because the game played so much smoother. 

 

Fifa 16 i haven't been able to use the duma yet, but Fraser has been helping to try and get it sorted.

 

My ISP is BT business

Ryola,

Unfortunately feel exactly the same on Fifa 16, I am connected with wan vlan (ISP - Vodafone Fiber on Portugal).

Excellent explanation of the problem.

 

For those who do not have this problem, congratulations.

 

We just want play without lag.

I only tried AW last night after the new cloud update, I had more good than bad games :)  ... which is not often.

 

Are some of you blocking the bad hosts (locate, id & rate) individually or applying settings and just play regardless ?

I just apply settings and play regardless. I just get put in dedis EVERY game never had a p2p host on AW

Unfortunately for me I'm in the U.S. And play in a clan. We can be placed on any servers for matches. Can't control it. Problem is there are no servers for me to find in the east coast where I live. All servers I connect to are mid to west. So u get really big spikes and delays. Now I know for a fact I play against people over seas and they are performing better. That makes no sense since I'm in state.

Thats where we differ...  if I'm in a lobby from the start, I will:

 

Tag the host before the map loading screen at 0% then it switches to a dedi.

Play the whole game even if I die 20 times, when that game ends I'll rate them in the red or green (allow/deny list). If I know my shots were on target & I lose almost every 1 on 1 then those hosts will be denied.

 

All hosts differ regardless of if you join a dedi, its up to you to mark the bad hosts otherwise you're always going to be 'hoping' some kind of magic will work each time you search.

 

P.S. Don't forget to wait 2 minutes after each host denial before you search for a fresh game, otherwise the host you denied will still be included in the search.

I used to do all that around 4 months ago, to be honest I just can't be bothered doing it anymore :) It doesn't really matter to me now I just play and if I get crap game I just leave :)

If I get the next COD I might go back to tagging the host just to try and get decent lobbies :)

If you apply the cloud settings you should find east coast games, I definitely moved a lot over that way
