I'm sick of the lag

Ever since the server 'fix' almost any US East server, though far more the virtual ones and the ones that are USE-943294-43953953 i get latency variation and packet loss. I've done a ping test it's fine, i've done a packet loss test to numerous websites and directly to my IP, 0% dropped packets and no spikes. I'm sick of just trying to scrim for my league matches and playing ranked and just lagging for 50% of the game where it's basically a 2v3. I just want to play the game I've owned since day 1 and i can't, it's very frustrating. Please for the love of god drop the crap server host you use and get new ones from a better provider

I have the same issue, US-East on Xbox. Pretty upsetting to see the game decline over time despite the success. I just want playable servers :/

You aren't alone friend. Stop buying keys and promote others to do so. Psyonix no give fux about servers.

This is interesting to me. I had this exact issue before the 'fix', and 0 issues after.

I even went as far as purchasing a VPN to re-route traffic in case there was a slow node along my path. I did find a VPN route which significantly helped my issue, which suggested it wasn't the RL servers at all. But after the 'fix', I can play just fine without VPN.

Not sure about your ISP, I'm also US-East, and normally get about 40ms ping, but only 70ms or so if I choose US-West.

Do you get the same issue with US-West?

havnt tested west, i get 20ms or so on us east and its generally always the virtual servers, my ping on west is generally 80 or 90ms so i prefer not to

You're doing it wrong! Tracerouting your own IP (what?! I wanna see this traceroute) or tracerouting any Website doesnt make sense at all.

You have to traceroute the server ip you experience lag on! This is how you find the hop which is causing your lag!

yes but im not a tech expert idk how to retrieve the specific RL server im on IP to test that but ive done websites for packet loss and ive done it via command prompt testing to a few googles, various websites i visit.. etc.. without issue which leads me to believe its the servers and not me, and i dont see a purpose to testing every server i lag on nor reporting it because it won't be fixed anytime soon most likely

I can tell you why you should do it. Its like you drive to different destinations. You drive to work or shopping. Different locations. Different ways to reach them. If there is a traffic jam on the way to work but not to shopping. So it is with servers/Websites. Different locations, different ways/routes. Everything can be fine on the way to Google but not to rl servers. You can Find the server ip in your logs at Documents/my games/RocketLeague/tagame /logs /launch.Txt

Scroll down the log and check the last IP Its the one before :7

so i did pingplotter to 2 RL servers both receive packet loss at the 2nd to last or the final ip route one is atlast.congentco and the other is the RL server itself so is it my internet or the subsidiary of comcast or w/e or RL

mind posting/sending me your traceroute via dm? or post it here? anyway, if you still experience lags, do this test on different times of day. just do this with the same ip. and again, if you experience lag, do this test again , check logs, and do a traceroute. collect the data.
