+50 ping ONLY in valorant
Hey,
As the title says. I've tested on speedtest, other games, tried every fix online and still nothing. ONLY valorant is having this issue, and I cannot for the life of me fix it.
Thanks

mind answering sum question?
1. where are you from
2. what region do you play in
3. what server(s) do you play on
4. who is your ISP
and what ping did you have before and what ping do you have now
Australia, Sydney server, Telstra is my ISP.
i normally get 60-70 ping, its 120 constant as of today. every other game is 60, so its not my internet
@lyra

holy moly I hate this
identical issue to the one i was bringing up lmao
make a thread answer the question do the trace route and @
oh no dw i resolved it myself already 😭 im just saying from beforehand
oh
im assuming this other person is also from perth, 60-70 range is normal for perthians
or theyre in queensland, in which case its another issue
i have more maybe useful info, uh
tracerts fail within telstra's network...
the ping is unrelated because its mobile data, but uh yeah so somethings up here


it seems to be only these ips failing
@Willsike i’m actually NT, but who knows. it’s ONLY val. i’ll do the cmd in a sec when im home
telstra seems to be crapping itself either way
oh don’t get me wrong i’ll dunk on telstra every chance i get, but this time they’re innocent 😂
@lyra

are you in ethernet or wifi
eth
could you do
ping 192.168.0.1 -n 100 and wait about 2min and show a screenshot of the summary
also uh. idk if im dumb but i dont think that a traceroute should go from the north of australia to the south, to the west, and get stuck at the west
it should be north to south to east no? geographically
also what on earth is going on on your network
💀
think we found the problem
prob my sister downloading or some shid
that shi cooked asf
thats is a crazy loss
what's your wifi speeds
if it's 200-300 you shouldn't be affected icl
250mbps down 40 up but who knows
40 up?
damn
are you using a wifi extender or?
cant be that surely, cause i literally just went into a cs game and im on 70 ping
im on ethernet
40 up is plenty...
I'm getting 300/300 so I might just be spoiled
for us aussies its good, but prob not elsewhere hahahaha
that is the case
for aussies, even 80 down 20 up is good
i have fttp
you're getting 200-3000ms to your router
i have fttp too haha
500/500
but i tend to just use another seperate network for myself
my ping to cs literally just now
😭 local network go brrr
could you ping again?
could it be a misconfig?
maybe, it's a new pc
ill ping again
my ping in a full cs2 dm was flawless the whole time
as flawless as 70 can be anyway
i have no clue why a tracert to riot servers ONLY FAIL on telstras network
using another isp

telstra moment
this is a normal looking one, both in ping and in the geographical locations
what the fuck is nt to adelade to perth to getting stuck at one particular point
@lyra it's still funky, ill restart my router and try again
:AkiraThumbsUp:
yeah fuck knows bruz nt is cooked
wheres my hug btw :angy:
australia is in general
I'm telling a trusted adult
lmao
do i need to give you two space or
... i want my hug :WAAA:
nono dw its a joke
sure
welp we prolly shouldve pinged kenji san earlier too /j
I don't feel safe here
lmao
... :capoo_pleading:
wait i have a finniky idea
do you have access to a vpn that has an endpoint in sydney?
connect to it if you do and then we see if its telstra's sh*tty routing
i could probably find one
lmao wtf

ALL the request timeouts happened at the end
probably something to do with a network driver on this pc maybe?


took these at the same time
could you run a trace route to both ips?

LYRA WHERE IS MY HUG :angy:

for comparison

why is it getting sent to perth 😭
thats honestly probably why
its routing thru fkn wa
thats what i mean
something within telstras network shat itself
but ONLY on val which is devious work
yes, for the entire val ip range
fml buying express vpn just to test this
disregard ping, but if the origin ip originates in melborne, it gets routed correctly

weird asl
i mean i guess smth in adelade is redirecting to perth, and perth just has zero clue where tf to get to sydney
standard telstra infrastructure
for the first time ever i agree lmao
even tpg does better and thats pretty rare
ig we just wait for kenji :QT_CinnamorollSobbing:
lmao man i hate telstra and these servers

looks like i might be vpn gaming
tracert the two ips while connected
but yes i seem to be correct 😭
just run a tracert rn pls, i want to see if youre still within telstras network
i am just waiting for it to finish
next thing i need to fix is the internal network shid apparently, shits still dropping packets

its been frozen at this for 4 mins
vpn breaks it
just redo it i suppose

where are you from in aus
like
ish?
region
northern territory
idk seems like routing then
@Kenji-San kenji we need you
@Goody are you from around Perth ?
northern territory
from what they said
not perth
nowhere near perth 😭
Well your provider is routing you via Perth to Sydney :val_KekwSob: ill have a look at this tomorrow
we laugh at telstra collectively here in australia
😭 the best coverage and infrastructure while simultaneously the worst
Can you do the traces again please and leave them to finish for both ranges
Thanks 👍
kenji im in perth... but uh it still poopies itself in perth (unsure if routing changed for them tho)

from both ips...

What's up with your latency on first hop
are you leaving the trace to finish ?
this is mobile data, the latency can be disregarded
yes. that is the literal end 😭
my isp is not telstra for my wifi, so mobile data on telstra is a comprimise

alright hold up so we dont need these traces then, I need traceroutes from your connection on your PC that is having problems
or @Goody
as hes the OP here
:oh: ope :p sorry mb (they end up getting directed to the same ip tho)
lyra if you see this dont laugh at me for being dumb xx
you also saying you are not in Perth but then you are in Perth :val_KekwSob: fml
@lyra pls do you job fam 💀
no i said OP was not in perth smhhh
no lyra dont listen to him please spare me
:WAAA:

@Goody We had a link down with Telstra for a day in Sydney, might be related. let me know if its still shit
so I can close this spam fest down :val_KekwSob:
yo, sorry haven’t been able to get on much. i’ll check later
@Kenji-San ok hey sorry for the ping in a diff thing ik i made another one last time but i think i figured out the issue. im in game rn with 130 something ping and i ran a tracert to see some amazon ip is taking a dump

this is one to 8.8.8.8 the third ip shows up as bogon

this... this isnt a riot games ip
that ip was there on riot support blog
i cant find riot anycast
what region
mumbai
india
my ip on val is currently 130-140 with 1-2% packet loss

i cant figure out what it is
that thing is like 4 years outdated
o
what do i do tho
@burtito make a new thread in community help if you need a hand that would be step one bruh
also where do you live in India, 75+ ping is pretty big number for India
i thought i shouldnt bother since i made one already which u seem to have closed
i live legit right next to mumbai, in pune
i usually get 7 ping
Must be a reason why I closed it then.
whos your provider?
Tata Play Fiber
it was previously known as VSNL though
Mine Jio Fiber
a few ips of theirs still shows that name, so thought it would be useful
@Kenji-San

@Kenji-San shall i have to change my ISP ?
strange thing is my friend who is in the same apartment complex as mine never has these issues
Your provider is sharing only some of their public IP prefixes to us in Mumbai, your friend have an IP address from different prefix range. I reached out to TATA play to fix this
@Kenji-San sir sorry to tag u but can u check for my Jio fiber that's my ISP and can u tell me what shall i do ?
oh wow, how did you even reach out to them
and how did you figure that out if you dont mind me asking? im just curious about this stuff
@Kenji-San ?
eeee wild guessing but
likely probably maybe perhaps using tools like BGP looking glasses or route servers to see which IP prefixes are being advertised in different locations and by checking what prefixes are visible in Mumbai, they noticed your friend's IP range was different. And maybe reached out using channels like NOC emails
I might be completely schizophrenic that isn't rare with me:val_HeyApple:
:val_HeyApple:
what are NOC emails?
and whats bgp
can i actually dm you i dont want to overload this post
noc stands for Network Operations Center
google it
found it thanks
ohh okayy
but why would they respond to say kenji?
and why would they even acknowledge an issue reported by some person not working for them
riot is partnered with many ISPs
when you contact an ISP you will most likely contact a support agent and not an engineer
ohh, and what if they're not partnered with a isp? like maybe some local one which almost no one has heard of
im guessing this type of support agent is unlike the support agent that the consumer is met with, with a set script
big company reach out to ISP = response
so say if its a isp limited to a small district or a city, if they do not contact riot and just exist as it is and then someone from their internet tries to go into valorant
Oh they can ignore us and sometimes they are, but the alternative is pretty bad for them. We can ask our players to report the problem directly to them. Imagine getting 10000 calls into a phone support if its a bigger provider. We all aim to solve problems quickly
Ohh, does it make it inaccessible for everyone using that specific isps connection?
upstream data
isn't that blackmail
wdym by that
i would have some cool response for that but im pretty slow right now
isp gives your data to another isp and letting them handle it ish
why would it be blackmail, its their own customers
ohh, and that will happen automatically?
or thats something they'll have to ddo
do
it's called a joke :angryjoe:
sarcasm
:val_HeyApple:
i love this emoji
a Lyra special joke I see
Seeing that it takes this much work just to sort out a small issue with an isp, does it take a lot of work to start your own?
I think chatgpt would love to answer that question (I got a headache I don't wanna think more :BocchiSob: )
lmaoo sorry bout that, thank you so much for your info tho piqued my interest :val_Hampter:
Of course it is! I only specialize in pun-ishing humor :KEKW:
holy fuck I'm so ready to become a dad
OMG no way a bocchi the rock server exists
I realized this doesn't make any fucking sense
its fine i found it funny 💯
im not even gonna...
ddos but player support version
Peer pressure moment
Quite literally
@Kenji-San can i get an update once tata play gets back to you about this?
