High ping for us Finns

[TeroD]

Me and Petteri were on the server first time last night and we got ping between 430 to 470. That's really high. There wasn't any jumping or things like that, but the update rate of our cars location is obviously very low and that makes the prediction code quite evident. The cars appear to brake "unnaturally" late and accelerate slowly out of corners, this makes following a car really difficult.

Don't know about Petteri, but I'm really uncomfortable taking part at this point.

I can't help but wonder why the ping is sooo high. I think 200-300 range should be expected from here. And with my experience using Hamachi when netKar Pro was new... I can't but wonder if Hamachi really offers any benefits.

Just because it creates "LAN" over internet you can't forget that distances and connection speeds still are the same. It's not a magic software that get rid of bottlenecks.

Hiya Tero, Sorry about the high ping mate.
I'm at a loss as to why you have a high ping, the PC im using is P4 775 celeron 3.2GHZ 533FSB, 4gig ram@677mhz, all my network is running at 100mb transfer rate its a wired system.
I dont have anything else running on the server bar anti virus n firewall which are both configured.

Its definitely higher than you would expect, I'm not sure what to do about either,I'm knew to dedicated servers I'm afraid, anyone have any idea's please let me know.

Thanks all.

I certianly don't have any ideas.

The ping was same for Petter too. Though we also live in the same city. Dunno if we have the same ISP or what connection speed he has.

I guess it could've been just a bad day and time for Fin - Aus connection I'll see how it is before the race...

Since Pukekohe pointed out that ping was high for everyone, I was hoping we could arrange a test without Hamachi before Calder. If for nothing else than to satisfy my curiosity

How's the ping been lately btw? Any change?
