@david64 wrote: @kimkelvin . So how does this work? Exitlag display shows it is using a server in Singapore and a game server, actually a game relay server, in Sydney. The game display shows the same relay server and actual game server in Singapore. Your network path is Singapore, Sydney, Singapore. That explains longer game ping times when using Exitlag. Exitlag needs a server in Australia at least. In Exitlag, when you select a game, are you able to force it to use a game with relay server in Singapore? In the tracert to game relay servers, there is a delay getting to Melbourne, another delay getting to Sydney. A direct link Adelaide-Sydney would be nice but maybe can't be done. Or there is such a link but it is down. i restart my router today when i went to work and tested it again when i got back, manage to do tracert now on the ip but 1 failed badly and cant finish and one routes me to Hongkong before flinging me back to Singapore     Tracing route to 103-10-124-44.valve.net [103.10.124.44] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 1 ms 2 ms <1 ms VX220-G2V [192.168.1.1] 2 11 ms 12 ms 11 ms 10.20.22.35 3 12 ms 12 ms 11 ms adl-apt-pir-crt2-be200.tpgi.com.au [203.219.182.66] 4 89 ms 85 ms 85 ms per-pow-stg-crt4-te-0-0-0-0.tpgi.com.au [202.7.162.214] 5 85 ms 85 ms 86 ms per-apt-stg-crt2-be10.tpgi.com.au [203.219.58.185] 6 86 ms 86 ms 86 ms per-apt-stg-crt1-be100.tpgi.com.au [203.219.57.129] 7 86 ms 96 ms 87 ms sin-eqx-aye-int1-Hu-0-0-0-20.tpg.com.au [203.219.107.114] 8 87 ms 93 ms 86 ms 32590.sgw.equinix.com [27.111.229.81] 9 * * * Request timed out. 10 * * * Request timed out. 11 * * * Request timed out. 12 * * * Request timed out. 13 * * * Request timed out. 14 * * * Request timed out. 15 * * * Request timed out. 16 * * * Request timed out. 17 * * * Request timed out. 18 * * * Request timed out. 19 * * * Request timed out. 20 * * * Request timed out. 21 * * * Request timed out. 22 * * * Request timed out. 23 * * * Request timed out. 24 * * * Request timed out. 25 * * * Request timed out. 26 * * * Request timed out. 27 * * * Request timed out. 28 * * * Request timed out. 29 * * * Request timed out. 30 * * * Request timed out.       Tracing route to 103-28-54-1.valve.net [103.28.54.1] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 1 ms <1 ms 2 ms VX220-G2V [192.168.1.1] 2 10 ms 10 ms 12 ms 10.20.22.35 3 36 ms 33 ms 33 ms adl-apt-pir-crt2-be100.tpgi.com.au [203.219.182.2] 4 33 ms 33 ms 33 ms nme-sot-dry-crt1-Be30.tpgi.com.au [203.219.107.221] 5 33 ms 33 ms 33 ms 203-26-22-121.static.tpgi.com.au [203.26.22.121] 6 34 ms 33 ms 33 ms 203.29.134-45.tpgi.com.au [203.29.134.45] 7 32 ms 39 ms 38 ms 203-219-107-182.static.tpgi.com.au [203.219.107.182] 8 157 ms 155 ms 159 ms ae2.3606.edge3.HongKong3.level3.net [4.69.208.62] 9 154 ms 154 ms 151 ms 113.29.40.86 10 151 ms 156 ms 150 ms ae5-6.RT.EQX.HKG.CN.retn.net [87.245.232.108] 11 151 ms 151 ms 151 ms GW-Valve.retn.net [87.245.230.249] 12 138 ms 141 ms 137 ms 103-28-54-1.valve.net [103.28.54.1] ...

TS there, dont want to bump this again but i want to know if its only me :( it started again about a few days ago, that my ping skyrocketed again using ExitLag makes it even worst rather than making it better like ive been  doing for years now before on certain months i can connect straight to SG servers with or without vpn my latency is only around 80-85 and on certain months i've noticed around Ti months i jumps to 120, and using vpn it goes back down to 80-85 now its 120 without vpn, with vpn it jumps up to 280 total opposite, ive contacted the guys at exitlag they dont even know what's going on, it might be the total routing of my tpg connection the Fs the whole thing up cant event finish a tracert   Tracing route to 103-10-124-44.valve.net [103.10.124.44] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 1 ms 2 ms <1 ms VX220-G2V [192.168.1.1] 2 11 ms 12 ms 11 ms 10.20.22.35 3 12 ms 12 ms 11 ms adl-apt-pir-crt2-be200.tpgi.com.au [203.219.182.66] 4 89 ms 85 ms 85 ms per-pow-stg-crt4-te-0-0-0-0.tpgi.com.au [202.7.162.214] 5 85 ms 85 ms 86 ms per-apt-stg-crt2-be10.tpgi.com.au [203.219.58.185] 6 86 ms 86 ms 86 ms per-apt-stg-crt1-be100.tpgi.com.au [203.219.57.129] 7 86 ms 96 ms 87 ms sin-eqx-aye-int1-Hu-0-0-0-20.tpg.com.au [203.219.107.114] 8 87 ms 93 ms 86 ms 32590.sgw.equinix.com [27.111.229.81] 9 * * * Request timed out. 10 * * * Request timed out. 11 * * * Request timed out. 12 * * * Request timed out. 13 * * * Request timed out. 14 * * * Request timed out. 15 * * * Request timed out. 16 * * * Request timed out. 17 * * * Request timed out. 18 * * * Request timed out. 19 * * * Request timed out. 20 * * * Request timed out. 21 * * * Request timed out. 22 * * * Request timed out. 23 * * * Request timed out. 24 * * * Request timed out. 25 * * * Request timed out. 26 * * * Request timed out. 27 * * * Request timed out. 28 * * * Request timed out. 29 * * * Request timed out. 30 * * * Request timed out. ...

@david64 wrote: @kimkelvin . Where is your VPN provider located? Do you know the hostname or ip address of the server? You can try ping and tracert to there to see if TPG has good routing to it. Regarding the 2 Relay displays: Remote host is "sgp", so Singapore? The 2 ip addresses below are in Sydney so there must be a small delay between Sydney and Singapore. Primary router: do these addresses change on different days or are they always the same? The relay servers listen on ports 27015-27200, same as game servers. (UDP not TCP apparently.) Do ping and tracert to each ip address from your computer and with VPN running.

This has info about ping times shown in displays: https://steamcommunity.com/app/730/discussions/0/348293292499443440/?l=koreana&ctp=40 On the tracert in the picture, there is a big delay between line 3 and 4, both in Sth Aust. This might be a TPG problem. sadly i cannot run a tracert hooked to my CMD because i use exitlag and it only hooks to the game itself and not to my whole pc :(    it looks like this and only effects the game before i use to get the ping displayed on what is in the UI of my VPN from 120 down to 85   but it seems now something is wrong with the general routing as i it bounces me from  ADL > PERTH > SYD > SG and not ADL > PERTH > SG i've known for a long time that SYD has bad latency going to singapore but perth doesnt.   this is the connection details while running the game with the vpn   ...

@david64 wrote: Hi @kimkelvin . It would be useful to see the ping and tracert to the game server (host name or ip address) from your computer, and to the game server when you are connected to the VPN. hello David, it seems i cant do a tracert to valve servers anymore as valve uses relays now i've also searched for provided ips on steamcommunity but the one for singapore isnt working  but ive seen something wrong with my routing that it jumps from ADL to Perth and looping back to Sydney which prolly has the worst latency going out of AU to SG servers. I have friends living on sydney and thats what their normal latency is 120ms while me before this issue happened is only 80ms and i think is because from ALD to PERTH then goes straight to SG and doesnt loop back to Syd. Tried to do a tracert : tracert     I followed this and the results are below   no vpn: no vpnwith vpn: w/ vpn also it still doesn't explain why when i look up my ip my relay is on a different state im not running any vpns what so ever on my pc the one i use hooks up to game only EDIT: i did another lookup for the sydney ip on 6th line in the tracert  this what my ping used to be and it proves to around 79-80ms with the exitlag vpn sadly i cant use my vpn with cmd and do a tracert as it only hooks to the game   ...

@david64  any update on this one? i've provided the tracert and it pings me to HK before reaching a closer singapore server, which is the one where im trying to connect. its the diablo 4 launch tomorrow and if this happens it wont be a good experience also ill provide this gameplay i uploaded on YT on sunday showing that before i posted this thread here, my ping to the SEA Server was ok and it's what i had before this, which is around 80-100 peak  Torchlight Infinite has only Singapore servers close to and no OCE https://youtu.be/fC3Sb7ZOa6o ...

it wasnt like this yesterday morning, i was still playing fine for months having only 80-90 and 100 being the max, i played the dawn to morning and left for work, came back around 7pm ish and its 300+ , i understand if its a bout geographical distance, but its weird as SEA (Singapore servers) are closer to us compared to JAPAN which in this case has lower latency for me, or US Servers. ...
