Any way to get ping down from 110ms?

[unsunghero]

This is pretty high for me, normally I'm in the 30-50ms range in online games

Any ideas how to get this lower or am I just screwed based on my mountain standard location?

i play with 145 ms and more ..... :)

i think the server is located in the usa and i am in europe. guess there is no way to make this latency faster.

How much to move server closer to Europe?

Using a VPN did the trick for me. I had constant 150-200ms ping, down to 80-100ms.

I don't even connect the VPN to an US endpoint but in my own EU country.
It seems there was a peering problem or bad agreements between ISPs in the middle or the chain, while using my native ISP connexion, causing a sudden huge increase of latency after reaching the US.

Try doing a tracert www.project1999.com, and track the latency values at each step. Then try with a VPN and compare the result.

For what it's worth, I have slightly better results (-10-20ms) on p99 with expressVPN than Nordvpn.

Wow ! Thanks for this tip.

I activated my VPN (F-Secure Freedome) and the latency is now at 118ms

Without i always got 145ms man more ... better than nothing , and finally i will use this VPN more often i think :)
