Not sure if this should be posted here, during christmas weekend when I played World of Warships, I was unfortunate enough to encounter extreme lag, below are 2 screenshots of the route used to reach the World of Warships server in North America as I mainly play on the North America server, just letting people know that I do use Vodafone as a Internet Service Provider:

This issue usually happens on the weekends or long holiday periods I.E. Christmas and New Years, I am not sure if the issue is on Vodafone's end or it's in the North America end where the World of Warships servers are located

looks like it might be going a slightly longer route to the us as it has an extra ~30ms there.

Just wanting to ask, would it be a routing issue that is causing the lag?

Suspect it is just how your traffic is routed, here's mine on Orcon gigabit fibre

MrAlex:

Is it really "Lag" as in caused by packet loss or is it just simply additional latency but the game is still playable?

I also notice your first hop has slightly higher latency which indicates you may be playing over WiFi. If latency or speed is sensitive then always use Ethernet.

a lot of things add to delay

wifi very bad vs ethernet cable

wireless mouse/keyboard

the time it takes for monitor to produce picture

amongst other things

i'd start by using wired ethernet and wired mouse/keyboard

stop posting garbage late at night

wifi is not very bad compared to Ethernet, its only the case in a poorly setup environment or when you are at a distance from the transmitting source.

unless you are a competitive player you will notice zero difference with a wireless keyboard/mouse

Clearly Batman has some issues with wifi lately based on other posts. Certainly not ideal to use wifi in the Batcave. So many stone walls, not to mention all the bats dive bombing into you because the crappy wifi is messing up their navigation.
