Hi guys,

Having big problems playing Crysis online. Basically, my ping is 300-500 all the time if I use any server except the EA UK ones. Even if I use the EA Killer Creation Servers, my ping is 500. My ping is a nice normal 30 on the EA UK servers, however.

Furthermore, if I alt+tab out of Crysis and manually ping the IP of the server, I get a nice normal low ping. But back into the game and its 500.

All my other games are fine on all servers. It's just Crysis.

What gives?
 
If you ignore the ping and join anyway do you lag in game? I've noticed some games, including Crysis, sometimes lie about pings in their server browser. I blame Gamespy! If it does lag in game then I'm not sure!
 
Just updated to the latest drivers. Played all afternoon, fine. Now it's rubbish again.

I can play on a handful of servers but the majority ping at over 500. And only in-game - if I ping them out of game its all fine :(
 
Me and my mate get the same, starts off fine at around 15-20 ping. After a while it shoots up to stupid numbers, my mate got a ping of around 22000 the other night.:eek: Yep thats right , a ping of 22 thousand, the highest i've ever seen. Mine goes up to around 500.

No idea what it is, checked everything hardware and software wise, but its only Crysis it does it with.
 
What pings do the other players have? If everyone is lagging, it's likely a serverside problem (typically insufficient cpu/ram).
 
Doesn't seem to affect anyone else. I regularly play with two other people - we go onto random servers - and they are unaffected. It's just me. And it's just in Crysis.

It's very odd and beginning to get very annoying. If I try playing anyway I get loads of connection timeout errors.
