Hey guys, anyone of you having severely bad latency like 2-3 days back ? I'm not sure if that happens only me :/

http://www.lowyat.net/2014/09/fault-in-aag...southeast-asia/

yesterday still ok...but NOW the latesy is insane rubber banding...no mood to play like that

keep disconnect from server

cant login, stuck at retrieving hero list

as of now....all conection back to normal liao...green bar 250ms US server

aus servers also sometimes congested thanks to reroutes.

About the AU server, I ran tcpdump (actually wireshark) a couple days ago and discovered that no matter if you set "OnlineService.Matchmaking.ServerPool=AU1" or not, it will still go to US server.

Today I ran it again, seem like it's back to normal. During gameplay, it will constantly connect to (for me) 12.130.244.193 and the actual game server depending on server you chose:

US Server: 12.130.245.39
AU Server: 103.4.114.11

Did a traceroute to these IP, I discovered something else. Unifi line actually hop less and faster to US server (today!). Yes 4G still using reroute in Japan and HongKong.

Just for info, you also can use http://us-looking-glass.battle.net/ to see how the packet travel from Blizzard to you. It changes daily! LOL! Yesterday, both Unifi and 4G uses hop in Japan and HongKong. Today, Unifi uses hop in Singapore. 4G Yes still using Japan (which sloooowwww...)

Was ok for me yesterday night time until around 11pm.

Not sure today

yest ping reacch till 23**.. OMG.. unifi 5 mbps.

you missed something.

there are 2 separated 'connections'

battle.net authentication/communication uses tcp
game uses udp packets

the client will first authenticate with the actual battle.net server and its authentication service
then the client/battle.net will decide which game server to connect.


running tcpdump (or wireshark with the wrong parameters) will not get you anything.

regardless of which game server you choose, the client will always authenticated at the us/eu/asia server first.

How to connect to aussie server?

i have the same understanding, that is why i said, those are capture during gameplay.

US Server: 12.130.245.39
AU Server: 103.4.114.11

if you trace those IP, you will see that they are hosting in the respective country, which indicates that this is the game server and not the authentication server. and again, i was checking the network packet during game play not the authentication process.

another thing, contrary to popular believe, D3 game play use TCP connection and not UDP.

ps:

are u indicating that i may not know how to use tcpdump/wireshark? i am just a little, slightly, offended with that comment...

don't be offended, i didn't mean that.

it is good to learn that d3 game protocol uses tcp instead of udp.

finally it's back to normal
