I thought maybe i needed to restart my PC and modem but no that wasn't the issue cause it still existed after reset. was on freeze tag 2 then restarted then joined freeze tag 1 same shit. please find a solution so everyone can play happily without their pings jumping up n down. heard that the server was moved back and the ping appears better for uk folks and crappy for us folks. before that move it was fine for the us and crappy for the uk....until next time.... sorry to sound like a bitch...just seem like a bitch it just seems like no one really truly fixing this.

The redirect was moved 2 months ago and my connection is actually more stable with very little difference in ping and almost no CI's anymore. Maybe @Sitting-Duc can help. Actually it looks like they were moved back, so everything should be back to the way it was. Edited April 22, 2018 by Gatorgirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

All it is is a bunch of files on a server - doesn't matter where they are. The only thing it effects is how quickly you can download the map. After that there is no interaction. The redirect move was simply copying the files to New York onto a server and then updating the config on the servers to 'give' the new location to connecting clients. The switch back just updated the config to go back to the server in Canada. Other than the config change the game servers were not touched in any way and the change does not interact with players who are either already in the server or who already have the map downloaded. Unless an issues affects ALL players on a server there is nothing we can do. Burt(XI) and KicknDatAzz 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I understand you haven't made any changes, but parts go bad eventually and stuff can go wrong for lots of reasons. My most important question is about your service - Company/type/speed. Wifi, Satellite and 4G signals cause the most problems from my experience. Since the issue was on both of the servers (with different IPs) I think you need to do some troubleshooting to find the cause. I would do what Yac suggested above to start. Run some speed tests on different sites/servers at different times of the day. Call your ISP and have them check your connection/modem. I have had the same service for 5 years and have had the modem/router replaced for issues 3X. They are always on and eventually crap the bed. Once I only had one for a month before they replaced it. Let us know how you do or if you have ????'s YACCster and Burt(XI) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Also like Kickn said I too have had modems replaced that decided they wanted to retire. YACCster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
