    The VS Saxton Hale server recently set up a network check for latency. Im based in Dubai, Middle East and my ping usually ranges from 170 to 220. The all new network checker keeps kicking me out. Whats the new latency limit, if its permanent looks like my days on LZ servers are over ! :(

    Hey,

    I know Snelvuur recently changed some settings across the estate. I'll ask him about specifics.

    The latency limit is based on the lowest latency on the server.

    Snelvuur set it up, but I assume its +100

    dubai is pretty far off..

    latency checker is set at i 175 based from the lowest ping on the server. Lets assume ping 25. That means max is 200 ping.

    Although we do like people even from dubai, our servers do indicate "EU" in front of it. The reason it was setup because we are getting more and more people with higher pings on it making it really bad to hit them or otherway around. Sometimes i see people warping across the map. I also slay them because of that (i also tell them why they get slayed then too) somebody has to be the bad guy.

    I made multiple changes to saxton 1. Saxton 2 does not have this ping kicker installed "yet" we do need a good and accurate one for this. Check again, i might have had a config issue which made it be even lower, but so far not a lot of people got kicked for it. If i get too many complains i will look more into it.

    See how it goes now, i still have another check to try otherwise.

    Dubai is far off and it does say EU on the server but till date I have not found any other VS Saxton server that has such friendly people and good gameplay. I spent hours here but now thats history. My ping is now constantly between 200 - 230 when server is full and 170 when im alone. So this I guess my days on the server are over :(
