Massive Lag 123

Why are all my games suddenly at 180ms? (UK) my speedtest is showing my ping as 10 and usually OW has about 20-30.

Have blizzard moved the servers 10,000 miles away in order to finally finish this game off?

same here (UK/Scotland) Friend of mine in warrington has high ping as well

I’m in Scotland too and I usually play with around 20ms. However, today has been 200 at the lowest.

No problems with ISP and I’ve restarted my router, checked the cables, etc. No improvements. Other games are fine.

Yeah they need to fix their damn game.

Had his almost every week in Australia where they’d all be forced onto NA West but at least that was only 100 ping but 200 ping is damn unplayable unless you play a DPS that just needs to shoot.

yeah had the exact same thing. my internet is fine but I am getting 200 ping constant atm. Feelsbadman on a weekend too.

same i usually get 30 to 35ms but its on 190 to 220ms so i think its on there end

Glad it’s not just me, 180ms (normally 20ms) ping to EU servers, 130ms ping to Americas…
Rocket league servers all pinging normally (IE it’s not my connection problem).
Can anyone else having this problem confirm their ISP, mine is Vodafone Gigafast (900mbps) as this might be a Vodafone -> Blizz problem if we are all on the same.

There are 4 of us in a group right now in the UK and all of us have an MS of 180 to 200. Usually around the 30 mark…

I just did a TRACERT to the europe server 185.60.112.157 (and 185.60.114.159) and the issue appears to be: ae1-br01-eqld5.as57976 net [137.221.79.33] which I think is blizz side:

Had to remove the (dots) before the “net” to get this to post. Can anyone confirm ae1-br01xxxxxx is blizz side?

Is it just uk or all of europe do you think

Definitely not all of europe as a friend from Netherlands is streaming with a normal 30-40ms ping. I’d say it’s UK based.
This has happened when I was playing before, but that was at 4am-5am so didn’t think it was worth reporting.

It’s also possible other people in europe go to: 185.60.112.159 whereas UK seems to goto 185.60.112.157

Same. Getting 125ms on NA servers.

They’ve f’ed something up here.

I think it is probably down to maintenance… unless we are now moved to a new server with the youtube/google deals. If so. GGs to playing on EU.

180/200 ms here in England UK usually 40ms max. Something very wrong with their servers.
Couldnt understand all the no regs I was getting, way more than I usually put up with, then noticed the ridiculous ping.

also having this. as are most of the ppl i’ve asked in game. always have around 30ms but went to 200 around 4pm gmt today, stopped playing and just tried again now at 11pm, still 200. FIX IT!!!

Post about it on the NA forums on the techincal side. they pay less than zero attention to the EU forums.

and they will tell you to post to the EU technical forums which they don’t pay attention to…

on the EU tech page they are just asking for the same data over and over… They have no intention of fixing it quickly.

whats new for blizzard then?..
