Unplayable matchmaking for the last few weeks

@dgun said in Unplayable matchmaking for the last few weeks:

Im in Indonesia and play mainly 3v3 ranked.

For the last week or so almost every game I lag, before I had no problem. Connections often over 400 ping. Did the relays change recently?

Perhaps it is because of this event:

• https://www.bolnews.com/pakistan/2024/04/internet-users-facing-problems-as-undersea-cable-damaged/

It matches with your time window and geographical region.

Very interesting! Thank you for sharing. I suspect you are correct. Maybe something could be placed on the news page of FAF client. The last few games i've been flamed and sworn at like crazy haha. I suspect many remote players are feeling quite confused right now as to why everything has gone to shit.

I've stopped playing now due to the hate and the lag.

I'll be back again once the cables are fixed

@dgun Hey man I live in japan and had connections issues too. I saw that you started using a VPN with no improvement. What helped my connection issues however, is using a VPN and changing my location to America. I don't know if it will work in your case, but its worth a shot.

@cheerios thanks ill try

[Jip]

I've made a news post about it

[Dgun]

@jip thanks dude

[Azraaa]

Yeah I live in Japan too and it's unplayable so definitely related to that article Jip posted

[Dgun]

@jip what about relay / turn servers? Was there not one in australia? Could we get one in singapore? What is the costs like to run them?

[Dgun]

@azraaa thanks for confirming. Lets post update here when it works again.

@dgun the current issue with the turn servers is that they are the current target of the ddos attacks that are ongoing.

[Dgun]

@roweynoob interesting. any idea who is behind it?

[Rowey]

@dgun we are actively working on ddos protection but this one so much we can do. With people using Thier free time to fix stuff

Connectivity seems to be back to normal now
