maybe a small server boost ?

Post by BasterFac »

been playing with a friend lately and he or i was hosting the game.
most of the time its all right and we can play at a 11'ish ping/tick ? .

but also recently it happed that the "guest" couldn't play due to 254 (or so) max ping.
mostly sundays or evenings (19:00 gmt).

both or connections are ok (been running speed tests while this happened.
so we guess its the "connection server" or what its called in english (its showing in the lower left corner when hosting the game).

and so the question would be: whether an upgrade could fix that to make the game enjoyable at any time :)

fwiw factorio works directly connected, not P2P unless maybe steam networking is involved..

This isn't a direct solution, but using https://factorio.zone/ might decrease latency depending on your circumstances.
