Hey there,
I have ~150+ ping. This issue has been persisting since LAST weeks AWS Outage (not todays). 150 ping is very difficult to navigate the game with, constantly getting kicked out of auction house, craft stations, and teleporting. Prior to these issues, I was sitting around 50-70 ping.
Currently the only way to circumvent this issue is to use a VPN directly to a Seattle Server. Which will get me around 80-100 ms depending on where I am.
I’ve spoken with my ISP and they aren’t able to identify any issues, I’ve had my modem reset and then replaced prior to knowing about AWS issues from last week. I don’t have Ipv6 enabled, i’ve reset **netsh winsock and have followed other directions i’ve seen on the forums. Is this something AGS is aware of?

Hello, still experiencing double the ping without being on a VPN. I noticed the Thread @Hunden linked has now closed. The ping is very unplayable and even on the VPN 90ping is still very rough.
I understand the situation and I apologize for the issue. Can you do me a favor and do a clean boot, How to perform a clean boot in Windows , please turn off as many apps or process as possible. After that run the game and check if it still showing the 160 ping.
Take care and make sure to let me know what happens.
Hey @Hunden I ran my system in a “clean boot” and still had same affect. I installed the game on a gaming laptop of mine and has the same issues as described so its safe to say its not a PC related issue (also considering a VPN will SIGNFICANTLY increase performance for me on said PC). I also brought my gaming. This issue started when AWS did routing changes on its first large outage a month ago.
I understand much better the situation with all the information you have provided, I appreciate that. Quick question, are you and your friend both in “El-Dorado” server?
because i posted the same issue in a couple of other threads and for south american players this issue is way worse then the described one here. SA players are being routed from - in my case Peru - to USA and then to Brasil. I’m pretty sure you can imagine the lag we are having playing on a ping of 260+ being connected to a SA server (Irkalla) when the ping to US-EAST is only 160 (Valhalla). All that since mid or beginning of December. Me and a lot of other players stopped playing because of that as it is really not fun at all rubberbanding all around
Yeah i’ve also had high latency just almost about anywhere that having people around me makes it unplayable since the game doesn’t register my hits hitting my enemies.
