Stupid high ping on all servers

I live in Wisconsin, what is the issue??? why are all servers such high ping? i love the game but not being to play at around 30-50 ping really sucks… im always jumping up to around 500-1k ping and it makes the game unplayable! please fix this asap.

Hi!

I understand it looks like a servers problem, but can you try to do these basic troubleshooting for internet connection issues?

  1. Restart your PC and disconnect the power to your Modem and/or Router for 60 seconds.
  2. Reconnect the power and wait for the internet connection to be restored before powering your PC back on and attempting to access the game.
  3. Try switching from a Wireless connection to a Wired one (if possible).

If that doesn’t help, we’ll need to completely reset and refresh the connection your computer has to the internet:

  1. From the Start menu, begin typing ‘cmd’.
  2. In the results that populate, right-click the Command Prompt result and select Run as administrator.
  3. Type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter. Wait a few seconds and when the command prompt appears, proceed to the next step.
  4. Type ipconfig /registerdns and press Enter.
  5. Type ipconfig /release and press Enter.
  6. Type ipconfig /renew and press Enter.
  7. Type netsh winsock reset and press Enter.
  8. Restart your computer.

Also checking some players run DDU and reinstall drivers and that seems to work for them, not pretty sure why but works, so you can give it a try.

I am posting this here in case anyone else has the same issues. I followed instructions beginning with a simple PC shut down and modem reset. Ping was still sitting at around 150-200 so then I proceeded to run command prompt as admin. I typed all the codes and this is what I have now, definitely playable ill take anything from 50-90 ping. Thanks for the quick response! @Zaphkiell
