Hi,
Figured I'd start a new thread since the other has run its course and I am raising a slightly different issue.
hopefully more useful info than just the bulk reports of ping issues.
For past weeks I have been logging ping data to the WG server in SG from my location in Australia (Brisbane) and still seeing quite regular packet loss. Ping is *reasonably* stable and rises during peak hour which I would expect as congestion on the main pipe will lead to that. Also to other targets in Sg for comparative assessment.
1. Packet loss only is occurring on connection to the WG Server.
2. The ping to other Sg targets is similar to the WG server.
3. The ingame ping is not reflective of monitored ping at times where Network issues exist (its higher)
The packet loss is inconsistent and across multiple routers/nodes. That suggests it may not be a specific hardware issue at one intermediate node (as we saw in NA years ago with the charlotsville Level 3 router).
I was experiencing gameplay issues and wanted to see if they aligned with the periods of packet loss being logged or high latency.
I am now keeping track of periodic "lag" in game which is occurring at times when no packet loss is being logged.
Gameplay problems:
1. loss of sync / run on where tank is not controllable and or freezes then skips forward.
2. ghost rounds and or fire delays
3. worst cases disconnection.
4. ping ramping up and down outside the normal range for time of day [off-peak I get 120-130, peak 130-140. Abnormal I am considering ranging to 130-160+].
- I will note the highest consistent variance is occurring at sg2-n5596-fe-1-vl231.fe.core.pw (92.223.116.163) which is the node WG Server attaches to (1st hop). When I monitor this node I get the same packet loss I get tracking the WG server.
- there is a correlation between the above router demonstrating increases in variance (delaying traffic or congestion) and the packet loss being registered at other routers/nodes.
- If I monitor the 2nd hop from WG server I get no packet loss recorded (I.e. the above IP is likely the culprit or the server).
WG may deny this is a server issue - and it may not be (I can't rule it in or out to be certain). I'd like some more specific feedback though regarding the behaviour of the IP I listed above as it is patently not giving good returns. Also, what steps are being taken to resolve this as it has not been resolved properly.
It's the WG anniversary and it would be wonderful to feel confident spending my money on the game but having problems like this lagging along ( 
) makes my motivation to "invest" more rather diminished.
Supporting points:
1. Others I am on discord/TS etc with in Au, NZ and some Asian players are reporting same ingame issues.
2. I have had Telstra investigate my link to my exchange (I'm on HFC... not NBN yet thankfully!). I will continue speaking with their back of house Tech support to see if issue can be localised as they have more tools.
3. My PC is an excellent system and there are no configuration issues at cause that I can determine. Only mandatory windows updates recently which have not been coincident in timing with game problems.
I have not uploaded the data I've been recording. Don't see a point at this stage.
