So holdfast appears to be an early access game from a small developer, no criticism but maybe the outfit behind it isnt the best to host servers all over the place and ensure great peering.

Does BF1 have a browser based server browser like BF3/4? Do you have a regular server or just random ones? Can you see the ping you have to it before connection, are they all 80-90?

I'd really recommend seeing if your general connection is affected at the same time you experience these high pings, they dont seem consistent and it would rule out anything on your end.


Edit: 19ms to bbc? Do you have interleaving?

[St3]

All the battlefield 1 servers display and ip i can ping at anytime and yes its browser based, when i notice high ping i see all eu servers jump to 80-90 i dont have a reg server for bf1 i use random offical servers.

As for holdfast i have been playing it from day one now when i was with plusnet and never had ping issues, these pings jumped up when i switched to idnet.

I will run a few more tests later and see how things are, i can say that since switching to idnet i've not had any packet loss at all and my connection has been stable with no disconnections.

I need to check again with idnet but i'm almost sure i dont have interleaving on.

Just for comparison could you ping this:

146.66.153.1

The whois so you know:
https://www.whois.com/whois/146.66.153.1

A valve server in Luxembourg.

I get this with TTB:

Can you run a tracert on this ip for me 94.130.144.53

I've just logged into the game again via steam and pings have reduced from 90ms to 38ms so something is changing... bearing in mind i did report all this to idnet so maybe they are doing some changes to routing or then again maybe the game host has done some changes.

[johnson]

Sure.

About your ping to the valve server, sure looks like ~8ms more than mine, maybe just a coincidence but 8ms delay is the what you get from the minimum amount of interleaving on either your up or downstream.

Does your modem/router give any stats?

[St3]

I dont have modem/router combo... i'm connected to Huawei HG612 and i dont want to play about with that.

I think i'm going to buy a new modem/router anyways... got this one in mind https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N2LSLMH/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

I will e-mail idnet and see if interleaving is on my downstream/upstream.

I do know that after a GEA line test it said my downstream was good and my upstream was very good.

I just spoken to the game dev as he is on my friends list, he told me that " It could have been caused by routing issues. Sometimes ISPs route packets through longer routes due to faulty networks within certain carriers which causes delay ".

[johnson]

Well the talk for a new modem and or modem-router is another can of worms.

That TP-Link archer VR900 (v2) you linked might be great, far as I can tell it has broadcom chipset... but thats not much help without knowing your cabinet vendor etc.

You sure you want to expend the cash to buy a new one blind when you could find some stuff out by just putting the unlocked firmware on your HG612 and running a second ethernet cable?

[St3]

Well i could try unlocking it but not tonight as i'm pretty tired from work.

[johnson]

No rush man, just know its pretty simple.

Well i guess if you don't mind me private messing you maybe friday as i'm off that day i can give it ago.

PMed, but theres no bother going through it here in the thread when you want to.

Unfortunately that page no longer exists. 

Very strange that the link doesn't work as you can navigate to it off their site.

Go to the bottom of the page and select Our Network under the About IDNet heading.

The problem with the link as given above is that it has a superfluous '.' on the end. Here's the corrected link:

Thank you. Normally I would notice such "mishaps" . . . this time one evaded the sleepy-cat's eye.
