Problem in game

Sun Jul 07, 2013 11:11 pm

Everytime I join a server that in the server browser says I have about 70 ping. I join the server and my ping jumps up to almost 300.

AFAIK the ingame ping isn't the right one

it feels like the right ping. I can walk forward and stop and my character is all over the place

The ping displayed in the ingame scoreboard is not the actual one.
In fact the ping showed in the server browser is also wrong.

Example: If you join a server with ping 10-30 it runs pretty smooth.
A server with ping 50 can be a problem already because your actual ping ingame is at 150-200.
Add about 80-100 ms to your ingame ping and you got your actual one.

It's a bug that hasn't been caused by DICE which they never fixed.

Please note that some servers are also just running on a crappy connection.
