Ping spiked from 40ms to 200ms in a matter of few hours. Overseas player on Mumbai server.
I’m experiencing unusually high latency (~190ms) when connecting to the Riot Games Mumbai server (IP: 162.254.199.170). This server usually gives me around 40ms from my location in Qatar. After running a traceroute, I noticed that my traffic is being routed through Europe (France) and then the United States (Atlanta) before reaching India. This indirect routing is clearly the cause of the high ping. Could you please investigate this routing issue and try to reroute traffic through a more direct path to India (via the Middle East or a regional peer)? I’ve attached the traceroute and ping results for reference

Ahh makes sense
Take ur ass to bed @Icarus
i had the same issue like in dec
val doesn’t support cross region
Yes it doesn't
erm my ping js spiked to 300
is it my isp or
@iniyan I’m sorry, man, but Valorant doesn’t support cross-region play, so there’s no fix. You’ll have to play on Bahrain or Dubai.
Yes, ISP routing issue
why was i able to play 😭
should i call em up
You could, but I doubt they’ll change, but try it
i used exitlag this evening and i got 40 ms
but then when i restarted my pc it went back to normal even after using exitlag
used exitlag rn and this is what happens... fml

I tried Mumbai , I used to get 80
i used exitlag rn and im getting 44
should i js get exitlag?
How much is the sub?💀
its like
15 dollars for 3 months
Well I mean since that’s your main acc, I guess it’s worth it
Cause riot won’t try to fix the issue (cross region)
Riot has its own network infrastructure in every region, optimised for that region. However, Valorant isn’t designed to be played cross-region, so as soon as you start playing cross-region, you leave Riot’s optimised network infrastructure (Riotdirect) and use some random network infrastructure that won’t be optimised for gaming. (this is very simplified). So thats why you can play but it will be unstable.
Riot hosting Bahrain when?
:shhh:
and now its back to 220 again even w exitlag
vro what
😭
^
can my isp do something about this>
Ok but if it was working fine with exit lag, why did it spike after
yeah they can change routing
Tho ngl, exit lag or even warp doubles my ping rather than lowering it 💀
i asked my isp about this and they said so slow speed right sir
like
😭
bye btro
ExitLag is essentially a VPN designed to optimize routing, not just mask your IP like traditional VPNs. However, if you're still playing cross-region in valorant which doesn't support cross-region play, the VPN might maybe improve your routing to an extent, but most likely it won’t completely eliminate the latency. (super ish)
also my other account got permanently suspended for account sharing
might i get any help w that
:(
my life is over
I mean if you did share account
You can’t get it unbanned
Btw can I ask, what bam message does it display

Ahh so sections 7 violation
Thanks!

Anything that falls under that section ^

i mentionedd that it used to be my friends account
:val_CAUGHT:
BUT LIKE
Bad idea 💀
HALF OF THE PLAYERS

Look im not condemning anything but it would be a bummer if you asked your friend to reach out to support and it would be even more of a bummer for your friend to recover their account via support, would be a real bummer if your friend did that :val_CAUGHT:
