Hello Vortex,

Did you run the WinMTR while having high latency? Could you please run another one, and create a traceroute and pathping as well?

  • Traceroute (right after a disconnection or whenever you’re experiencing the issue)
  • Pathping (right after a disconnection or whenever you’re experiencing the issue)
  • WinMTR (right after a disconnection or whenever you’re experiencing the issue)

To other players posting on the thread:

If you’re experiencing connection issues, please check this article and make sure you follow all the instructions, including the advanced steps:

If the issue persists, we need the following information so we can investigate:

  • Details of issue:
  • Date/time it started:
  • City/Country:
  • Internet Provider:
  • Traceroute (right after a disconnection or whenever you’re experiencing the issue)

Hello Volrex,

I don’t really see anything especial on the diagnostics. The ping seems to keep going higher along the path, but that’s normal. It escalates quite a lot here:

It goes from 21ms in jump 4, to 86 in jump 7. Unfortunately, nodes 5 and 6 seem to be protected, so we have no way of knowing what happens there. In jump 9 there seems to be a huge variation between connection tries on the same node; from 83ms to 109ms.

I would personally recommend contacting your internet provider so they can check the traceroute and make sure everything is working as it should. I can’t see any outstanding issues, but they might be able to check if anything is wrong in those nodes that are protected and show no data.

but why i’m having problem only with blizzard servers

i have no problem with counter strike global offensive servers and rust officialese servers

and why it’s suddenly jumps to 160

13 160 ms 159 ms 159 ms be2-pe02-eqpa4.blizzardonline. net [137.221.77.73]

Basically, your connection doesn’t take the same path when it goes towards Overwatch servers than it takes when it goes towards other game or service’s servers. You can find a more detailed explanation about this here:

i tried reinstalling overwatch and turning off firewall and anti virus ,and nothing helped

the problem literally happened overnight , played OW , was having around 90 ms ,the next day suddenly it’s 170ms

Is there any way to fix that ?

Having the same problem, going to post my trace route so Blizz people have more to work with.

I talked with Blizzard’s tech support and they said the problem might be the hop to adm-b3-link.telia.net.

I asked about the big ping gap at the hop ae1-br01-eqam1.blizzardonline.net -> et-0-0-31-pe02-eqam1.blizzardonline.net, I got some different responses from the 2 different support people I talked with. First one said it may be related to blizard’s DDoS protection. The second one said it can be an issue caused by earlier problem in my route, or a suboptimal route (possible, but I don’t see from the above data how that would make sense, as the first blizzard server hit is always 70ish ping).

I rephrased the above responses so don’t take them as anything official.

It still looks to me like the problem is somewhere on blizzard’s end. My ISP was not helpful to say the least when discussing this problem.

If anyone reading this thread also has the same problem please post here as well to help with visibility. Thanks.

Can someone from Blizzard please contact “Hotnet” and try to solve the problem with them? there are many Hotnet customers that complain about the same issue. this is not something we as users can solve by ourselves. I don’t think switching ISP just because one game’s ping is too high is a reasonable solution.

bump

i still got the problem

Ok, i’ve given up. changed my ISP and now the ping is 100ms which is much better. still not the 80ms I used to have, but oh well.

I opened a ticket on Blizzard’s support, they asked for diagnostics from the Blizzard looking-glass tool.

I hope with more data they could pinpoint the issue, so please post in the following thread:

(unfortunately the looking-glass thing only gives me an error right now, but maybe it’s just me…)

cant we open the same thing here

i’m banned from US forums

what ISP ,bezek ?

Partner on cable. although i had some issues today where ping spiked to 140 at some parts. but on average it’s around 105.

I have a similar issue, about 3 updates ago my ping started staying at about 97ms, it used to be a solid 60-70ms before the updates but I didn’t think much of it since 97ms is still quite playable even though I prefer it to be lower.
But then I started getting spikes to around 160ms and the game is now only on 120ms, it’s almost as if in every new update that comes out my ping gets worse, a couple of days ago I was even booted off a comp game with no explanation as to why, my internet was completely fine outside of Overwatch.

I play on the EU servers and every other game I play with EU servers does not have this issue.
I have also spoken to my ISP and they say that since my ping is fine with every other server we tested it can’t be an ISP issue.

So naturally I checked everything is fine on my end (updated drivers etc) and everything seemed to be fine.
Now playing with 150ms on an EU server which is not that far away from me is awful, sometimes I get hits which don’t appear to register, and sometimes they do register but I don’t get the X telling me that I actually got the hit and elimination, I just see it in the kill feed!
Pharah is almost unplayable as the rockets sometimes don’t even register they just get swallowed into the walls and ground.

My specs are:
OS - Windows 10 Pro
CPU - Intel core I7 2600k
GPU - MSI GTX750ti
RAM - G.Skill 12GB 1600Mhz Ram
