Let’s talk about EU server performance

Am I the only one on EU servers, who has massive lag spikes during prime time? I literally don’t want to play the game between 8 and 10 pm which means I’m not playing at all which is pretty sad.

I even have the impression it‘s getting worse, the longer the league lasts. What’s your experience atm?

let me guess, youre german...let me guess you are customer of the telekom
this has something to do with their routing and cloudflare, happens with most cloudflare things around that time, only solution is a vpn or playing on canada/us servers because the routing is totally different there

Same for the last 3 years. I've never skipped leagues before but I have since then...

Been smooth for me since launch (except the actual crashes here and there, which are mostly fixed).

I think some players are hitting the infamous twelve99/telia nodes, and are blaming servers.

And do your game also play even worse after the last patch? My shades have full green bar 80% of the time and my cooling fans make disturbingly high noice. Wasn't like this earlier today

if you login to Frankfurt and happen to use t-offline, try switching to milan. I did that a few weeks ago and had not a single one bad evening since then.

don't forget to restart the game after you switched the game servers.

Been really bad the past hour on eu servers. Keep going back to character select to change to the next server

ISP routing issue

I have that as well. Hence why my steam review will keep being a negative one. Sometimes going to log in screen and ctrl+left clicking on the log in and char selection button work but it will reset the instance. Also you will notice that choosing the Texas server while this happens fixes the issue but your ping will be high.

They kept saying DDOS for a while, then routing issue but at this point I just don't care. This is not a unique or novel thing, other games have figured out hosting their server fine without these routing issues. The game doesn't work and my review will stay negative until it does work reliably.
