Hey
I am from the Middle East and as far as I could remember, since OW1 I used to have 80ms ping
I assume it connected to German servers
but right now it picks further away servers like finland or Amsterdam
it makes the ping be 130ms which really annoys me
how can I force the connection to be to the German server instead ? it only happens to me in OW2, other games I still have 80-90ms
There are only 2 “Euro” servers now, Amsterdam and Finland.
There used to be one in Bahrain, but that moved to Finland. Seems odd given how popular the game is in ME that a server isn’t there. It’s not like costs should be an issues, surely the Saudis would happily do the gaming version of sports washing to get good PR.
For real? any chance for a source?
i am wondering how much time its been like that
gonna suffer this 130ms forever now sheesh…
They use Google servers, so just look up their data centers and you can see where they are. Obviously OW only uses a small selection, as they are ridiculously expensive to use (just see how much Twitter has to pay Google…).
130 is annoying, but you can still out skill people. Just look at the likes of Frogger, plays on 170+ most of the time.
Ya i guess ill give it a try, if I feel it bothers me I’m just gonna move on from this game (sadly)
Luckily, there are options now if you want to try something else!
