question about ping

[pablo0713]

So i basicly join a server that in the serverlist says for example 100 ping but when iam actually playing my ping goes higher like 180 or 200 of ping

Is this a problem of the emulator optimization or its just the fult of the server?

Thanks

The game has never displayed the correct ping. Not even on original EA servers.

ok i think that explains it all lol! Thanks for your time

The pings are not as precise as in games like Counter-Strike.

It also depends on the server you´re playing on.

We do not have such a big playerbase like the original service, so there are less servers that are spreaded all over the world.
They´re mostly provided by private people with worse connections than a server provider like i3d got.

We hope to get more players and servers in the future, so there could be one in your region too.

Basically, you can just calculate

*PingShownByGame* - 150 = *RealPing*

The shown pings are just waaay too high.
Some ppl even have an in-game Ping of 450 and aren't lagging at all.

That's not true at all.

Of course, this isn't accurate at all, but it is an approximated rule of thumb as Bettlefold Bed Companion 2 shows just way too high pings.

It might be true on your location, but to me, doing that would make most servers have a negative ping. I guess the only way to really find out the ping of the servers is to ping them yourself.

At first: I'm not talking about the servers, I'm talking about the players.

Ok, I haven't thought about the location... I'm in Germany, and the best Ping I ever achieved was 80(worst was ~500, avg is 200).

The thing is: It's really rare that I see someone having a better Ping than me, so I assumed the high Pings are just normal for BeeCee2.

Additionally: I also play on servers in the US in other games(CeeODee, CStrike, etc.), and there I normally only have a Ping of about 50.

I don't think I have ever had a ping worse than 200 on European servers. Also, I'm from Poland. Given that our countries are right next to each other, there shouldn't be that big a difference between our pings. So I guess it's either ISP-dependent or just plain unpredictable. Either way, it would seem that in-game pings cannot be trusted at all.

Best you can do is to join a server, tab-out, use netstat to find the ip of the server you're playing on and just ping it.
