Chicago Server Ping Increase Midwest

Markashh··2 votes·1,225 views

I live in the capital of Kansas and after I pinged the new server, it returned at 134 ping, which would be a large increase from my normal 98 ping. I dismissed it and just said that in game it would be better. After getting online today. I had 134, and I'm greatly discouraged.. How is it that I'm having a ping increase when I am closer to the server than ever before? My ISP is AT&T.

I'd personally assume that you didn't ping the new server. Not everyone was selected, and you're probably just experiencing a lag spike for the Portland server. How are you sure?

The ping for the new server is 104.160.131.1

I'm getting 25 ms in Pittsburgh, PA

No I definitely pinged the new server through the CMD and had an increase.

Try doing a tracert and contacting support with it, I'd say.

How do you do a traceroute, and what is it for?

Enter "Tracert 104.160.131.1" into the command prompt to see how your connection (by tracing the route) goes from your house to the new Riot servers. You can also "Ping 104.160.131.1" to see your ping. :D

Ok wtf I did the ping thing, and I got this: Ping statistics for 104.160.131.1: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss). Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 501ms, Maximum = 1208ms, Average = 800ms

I just typed exactly what I saw. Sooo is this bad o.o? Someone pls tell me!

Yeah, that's pretty bad. If you (or anyone on your network) are not downloading anything currently or outside the continental US, you probably need to contact support.

No my ping was fine yesterday, it was at the usual 50-60. Today when I played a game, I noticed my ping was about 140. I tried relogging and then it stayed at a constant 400. wtffff riot :(

Could just be your provider.
