COD4 Server Pings high

[xpservers]

Ive been reading about this and it looks like were not the only ones having players with high pings in the server.

 

Via server browser, hlsw, or AWE you clearly see pings to our server at 15-20ms anywhere in Canada, New York, Chicago, Detroit.

 

In game on Favourites pings still show 20ms. However during gameplay hit tab and pings will jump 50ms. No lag or reg issues its just annoying and scares some customers when they see this.

 

Anyone else having this issue or know a workaround ?

 

for any testers here our pub

Well most of the servers in that lobby I play n are LvL3 Pipe and there routing sucks in Chicago, so I go from my house 20 miles from the City to Denver and back to Chicago. LOL

[xpservers]

not just US customers. I live 10 minutes away from my server in Toronto, i ping 8 ms to it as my ISP peers with my colocation. Ping 8ms in my cs servers and 40ms in cod4. NRT advised me of some known issues. Hope an update comes out soon

This has already been documented in Infinity Ward's forums. Do a search and you will see some topics related to the elevated pings while in-game.

I really don't care what the pings are, I get no lag. Customers put too much into that all mighty visible ping! Unfortunately the ignorant see ping as a measure of quality of server and pipe which is not always the case. But Lvl3 still sucks @ss in Chicago.Too bad they keep buying everything in site!

Gimme the steady 50 anyday over the spikey 20-70 :}

 

I haven't seen or heard of this issue from any of my clients, but I was aware of it (IW)

I had ping problems, but it was because i had graphics turned way up. Did everything low and reduced pings tons. But I as well have not had any complaints.

[xpservers]

its usually the noobs that complain,, even tho gameplay is smooth they focus so much on the pings. Anyway this is a comon issue and wont be fixed until activision comes out with a patch.

If your server is lagging, delete PBSV.cfg it currently is screwed and will completely destroy your server, especially if theres more players. Some servers aren't effected by it (I think standard ranked servers with not much modded are good with it enabled) but as soon as you put a mod on the server (xfire mod, DAMN mod) it starts bending the server over pretty badly.

 

If your customers use xfire or DAMN mod and experience rubberbanding or connection interrupted issues, tell them to delete pbsv.cfg and all their problems will go away.

The pb CFG file is required by CEVO, TWL , and Xfire for there tournaments. CEVO is addressing the issue but until its fixed it's just going to have to be put up with.

Most deleted it anyway for the xfire tournament until match day. I assume same will happen with CEVO.

I compete in CEVO and it won't be taken out. If it's not shown in the console messsages then there will be a dispute since all of the matches are required to be recorded. Also CEVO has additional Anti-cheat software you must use in tandem with PB. I played last night and had no issues whatsoever.

You are agreeing with me, but trying to disagree with me. I am saying most people delete it until match day, that can be for any league CEVO,CAL, etc.
