I think I figured out why some people have more delay than others

So in this screenshot you can see from the great app a user in here made and I thank him for it that all games I played are through a server. Here’s the problem. I’m in Greece and the best ping I can reach is about 40ms ±2ms to a server in Frankfurt Germany. So I played a really nice Guy that’s also in here u/Patiombre and I had crazy delay. After he scored the second goal I wasn’t enjoying the game and I quit. I never quit even if I lose 4-0 if my connection is nice. We then spoke and he told me he’s in Germany and he’s got 8ms delay. So here it is, of course my game will feel slow if my opponent is much faster than me. Unfortunately we have no servers here in Greece so every time we play vs a player that’s connecting much closer to us the game will have that heavy feeling. Long story short Konami is way behind technologically to producing a game that will play well for both opponents if they are a little further away. I don’t think any of us located in Europe should be lagging in this day an age.

I tried telling people this, but no one wants to nor cares to hear it. It’s nice to see the actual evidence of the server delay due to distance as well. In all honesty this post should be smashed for all the upvotes it can get. I even bet the PC/console players would love to hear this information.

Hey! I have to clarify that I do not know the exact ping I had in that specific game since I do not use the tool that slekkas uses. The mentioned 8ms is just the average ping I get when doing a general manual ping test. I just mentioned that because slekkas asked me whether I had been using WIFI which was not the case. But fact is that I am located in Germany, pretty close to the server we had played on.

Yes but how do you explain a game where the response feels like 20-30ms still fine i can beat a 8ms guy with that… and a game with 250ms-350ms or a seond or seconds? Shouldnt i pretty much always have a same connection through the same server? Ps its almost always 4bars or i cancel for next oppo and 1/3 of the games are these sillx connection very often against users sith arab names… im here in bosnia, also europe obviously

Let’s me tell yall my experience with this delay. The chance of it happening to me is high during the day, but at night like 00:00 or 01:00 Am when deciding to play I barely experience delays idk why.

Great post. Thank you

This has nothing to do with Konami “being behind technologically”. If you’d have the least knowledge of how networks function, you would not be shitting through your keyboard.

I suggest you read this in your free time https://www.guru99.com/data-communication-computer-network-tutorial.html

In every online game that is server managed the person who is near the server will have a slight advantage.

The problem is not playing through servers, the problem is that Coinami servers cannot sustain stable connection during the matches, maybe because they are not aware of how to create gaming servers or maybe it is the way they use the script/handicap.

Has anyone tried to put another dns or another number for mtu in the ps4 network settings? Does/would it make any diff?

:backhand_index_pointing_up:Exactly. Έδειξες φωτό γιατί χωρίς φωτογραφία δεν το πιστεύουν ΚΑΝ.

Hello, can you send me the link to test my connection please?

Was wondering why matches against opponents from certain regions felt like network tampering, now I know it’s just Konami.

how we can fix this? im playing with delay and inputlag for a year. but since updated to 2025 It got worse to play. im playing in ps5 brazil.
my test in psn show me 500mb down and 120mb up.
in my pc tested in this site https://www.waveform.com/tools/bufferbloat?srsltid=AfmBOorT_N3vgmHxLMvlW38UksFFTUQQR4hhk331dwW-B-ayuBLeRyBn
and the results show me always A+.

Brother here complaining about +40ms lag while my Middle Eastern A$$ is playing with +120ms lag. :")
Literally unplayable.

Honestly, I have to say that is not Konami’s fault, this time.

Any big cloud company has not servers everywhere.

Blame your government that does not incentives big companies to set up server farms in your area.

You know they use google servers.

This community is so weird, I can never figure them out. Things that are absolutely common sense people don’t want to hear them and react badly.

You do probably have 8 to 15ms max , this is what I get here pinging any local servers

Do you use the app? Without the app it’s hard to know what exactly is happening. Your opponent might be Arab but you’re not sure he’s not playing from Europe.

Don’t know if your connection is TCP or UDP or if it’s through server or p2p.

If you get a p2p connection with 70ms and under and 0% packet loss it’s amazing.

The problem with the p2p though is that if something changes in the household you feel it immediately. Your little brother uploading a video on icloud or downloading a movie etc.

There are so many parameters and this game is so sensitive that all of these little things end up destroying our experience.

I’m assuming those google cloud servers don’t only host efootball correct? Maybe the server load is much less late at night.

Same for me, it’s like playing 2 different games. During the day laggy as hell( and only the ps using the net), after midnight no lag whatsoever ( I even tested with other devices using the same net, and still no lag).
