Title says it all.
Today I’m playing BTB on my Xbox using the “Search Region Local” option. I’m in Alberta Canada and the nearest Data Center (according to H5 / MCC who let me pick) is NW USA (i.e. Seattle area). Time wise, I’m playing between 3 pm and 4:30 pm local time.
My first 4 games are a nice solid 40 ms ping time, which is what I get when I play MCC / H5 on NW USA Server.
My Next two games start out 40 but degrade to 60 ms once the match gets going.
My next game starts out 60 ms, then jumps to 80 ms.
After that, I’m starting at 100 ms and I quit the match, cause I’m not playing HI at 100 ms ping times.
After re-booting the Game, my first game is at 40 ms ping time, and the above Cycle repeats.
This is not the first time this has happened either and I’ve noticed this trend after playing for an hour or so, which seems to rest if I re-boot the game.
Time wise, I am moving into the prime player time for Seattle area server, so I don’t see why it’s switchign me to another slower server (like mid continental or southern USA).
