cod4 server How to lower high ping

[Ktom]

Hi guys

 

As most of you know in game I always have a ping at best of around 310. This is not ideal as it leads to lag etc. I also find it impossible sometimes to use short weapons in close combat as I am about 1 sec behind everyone else, which is kinda frustrating, hence I have to use the longer range weapons a lot and have some stand off.

 

A lot of the problem is my location, Bangkok, which I understand is probably the main problem. My FPS seems ok most of the time around 110-125 (set fps at max 125).

 

I hear the yitch 3 confit can help with ping, however I have no idea what to do with this or how to install etc. probably need to read the instructions. Anyhow,

 

Has anyone got any tips that might help. I have pretty much tried all things i have found on here and other websites, except yitch 3.

 

Any help would be great guys.

 

My computer, is quite old, but I had the same problem on a much newer computer not so long ago, with the same ping etc.

Your problem is probably more one of distance than hardware

I'm assuming ~300 is a steady ping, so it's not that your lagging it's just that your packets take longer to reach the server than someone from the EU, or from in America itself

What Heretic said. No matter what config, nothing will help you except moving to US to get better pings

 

When I was in US i was getting pings in the range of 40-70 that used to stay stable. Now I get pings in the range of 250-270 that stay stable. So as long as your ping is stable, you are good.

I might also add that finding a VPS in your county and using that as a proxy might help lower your ping as the amount of hops should be reduced, but it's only a possibility and normally something for the more tech-minded among us lol

Thanks guys, I was seeing if I had overlooked anything, or if someone knew of something. I agree the distance is the problem. Yes it pretty much stable for the most part with the odd spike here and there, however I think is is due in most part to the internet not being as stable here as say in EU or the US.

 

May have a look at a VPS. 

 

It was worth a shot. Again guys many thanks

you can use a program called WTFast, which uses a 3rd party, but let's you connect from different location. I tried this with Wolfenstein and got my ping reduced from 150 to 90. I haven't used this program for years thou. And since it is a 3rd party and all that stuff, it is on your own risk.
