High packet loss and ping with World of Tanks Asia server

Hi, I’m getting some really bad lag and packet loss in WOT asia server. Even with some Mudfish nodes saying ~150ms, in game it frequently spike to 170-210 ms and severe packet loss occurs.

Can You please help me troubleshoot and find out why?

@xtremzero Please try to test your network status from your desktop to 92.223.52.1 (World of Thanks - Asia (Hong Kong)) using How to use WinMTR link.I think you need to do two tests; one without mudfish and another with mudfish connected.

I think this result shows you where this issue is from.

Do you know why many of the SG servers have so much packet loss?

@xtremzero Thank you for these WinMTR results. Here’s my opinion:

  • Regarding to Request timed out. - 100 message, please ignore these lines because it doesn’t point any problem. Normally it’s caused by that the hop router drops the ICMP packet.
  • When I checked your results, it seems your packet loss is happening 223.120.2.17 or 223.120.22.133 router. It seems the ISP is China Mobile International Limited. In my opinion, I think you can pick a mudfish node which doesn’t go through this router.

Regarding to how to pick a mudfish node, please check FAQ - Nodes document for details.
