Same Here Oceanic servers 1967 1968 1951 & 1953 all above 150ms ping ( ranging from 144 to 441).
Happening for me as well. South African and normally should be getting 150 - 180 ping to Europe, and they are displaying as over 200ms activating the ping lock. We’re completely locked out of the game right now. Made a post on Reddit as well. People from South Eastern US and South Western US also experiencing the same issue. This is a big problem.
Yeah, but why is this the official solution?
Wouldn’t it have been easier for Funcom to simply disable the Ping limit on the servers for now?
Yeah, after about 20 server refreshes I was able to join
But the lag was still like in the 100rds
What helped on my end was completely restarting steam and restarting the game. I often had pings > 200 and couldn’t join the game because too high ping. Ever since I do that it has solved the issue and I have pings of right after server restart 49 up to 89 or slightly above 100.
Not sure if that’s just a thing that works on my end but I hope it helps a few to get in.
Also the servers restart each hour now - at least the official server where I am playing. Right after a restart the ping is oft best, if you can try to get on then.
the 9999 ping usually means they are restarting
This could be a great workaround, but obviously should just be a bandaid solution. How can we get the IPs of the server we want to join? Battlemetrics seems outdated?
its in the game.ini file. Dana has a writeup with solutions to common issues with enhanced that explains
dont have the link
If anyone does have the link, please share..
Why are widespread high ping and ping spikes considered bugs?
This is nuts, I cant get into ANY sever, never mind the 1 I have a character on. And is everyone else Favorites list full of random servers that cant be removed?
If they have a direct connect option they should at least provide the IP address of the server you are trying to connect to.
This was very predictable. What is so hard to grasp about ensuring official servers are stable before adding a ton of additional load? That should be the focus. Instead, we have a free update that pretty much ensures the game is no longer playable, if we are even able to log in. Who thought this would be a viable update and why?
Managed to get on one of the official servers I play on but the heavy lag (10 seconds for the game to open a door) and uber-rubberbanding made it quite impossible for me to play. Tried 5 minutes ago and all the pings are around 500.
I was able to get into a PVE-C server this morning (very early) and the ping wasn’t bad, but there were only 2 of us on. I tried to get into my PVE server and it must have been locked as it shows 9999 ping since last night. I do hope they’ve somewhat disabled decay while the servers are having issues.
Hope so
Just finished the patch, now I get a message “Logging in” Connecting to Funcom Services, which has failed three times in a row now. I hit confirm and it lets me see all my favorites, with low ping, that it refuses to allow me to join. So new patch new bug?
The connection failure runs across all the servers I try to join, to include the 2 I played this morning…
Same issue on #1502!!
It is so ridiculous! There is no excuse for this game to be behaving this way this far into it’s existence.
And for those that love making excuses by packing it off onto “it’s the internet” or “it must be your PC.” My internet is a 1GB Fiber Optic and my PC meets all required specs and then some. So there’s no excuses.
Funcom needs to fix the server issues. I just started playing this game on PC. All of a sudden I favorite 1 official server I’ve started on that “had” really low ping but magically has high ping and somehow it says I have thousands of servers favorited and “have visited” thousands of servers. Which is FALSE… the server I’ve been playing on for the past few days for the first time with this game. The server said LOW PING but it’s randomly crashing with less than 10 people… then the system removes the server from favorites over and over. Searching the server oftentimes doesn’t show the server. I restart the game over and over. Then the server may magically appear with 9999 ping…
Lastly, the animals, NPC’s, insects, and the player character “bobbing” around or “rubberbanding” and the doors opening or closing in delay. In fights the enemies “popping around” magically damaging me or even killing me. Another issue I’ve ran into is having a bed in my house as my respawn point. But if I die my bed will not appear as a respawn and the game won’t let me respawn anywhere but at the beginning of the game in the desert. It’s DISGUSTING with all this going on. They want to encourage us to play with other players. But when we try the systems punish us. And if you tell other players you feel like playing single player because this is not right. They just shrug it off and say “yeah probably best until things die down.” And then immediately veer off to chat with other players about “how awesome everything looks! Yeah!!!” It’s ridiculous that an old system is just painted over and we’re expected to be happy with a new look but a janky broken system.
FUNCOM please for the love of humanity stop making excuses and ignoring this…
Best wishes.
“And is everyone else Favorites list full of random servers that cant be removed?”
Yes! It is so weird and stup!d. Because all the servers in my favorites and history are NOT any I’ve joined or favorited and what’s strange is server #1502 I favorite it and the system removes it. Server is at low ping one minute and the next it’s 9999.
They need to quit saying this is “bugs” and making excuses… this is CLEARLY G-Portal servers… there are forums on here dating back as far as 2018 stating these same issues and this is 2026… 2026!
