They usually are the fault of a 3rd party hop along the path. They might be your local ISP's fault, but rarely. They just have the data center, they have no control over how you route to it. These problems are frequently unsolvable, because they are not SE's fault. But if your ISP is routing you through a bad connection, and the VPN creates a detour, then it can be a big improvement. VPN causes more lag than a perfect connection, because it is adding at least one unnecessary hop. Is that also comparing ping-related stats?Īnd lastly, how can I see if I've dropped packets on Mudfish like I can on WTFast?

I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, or if I'm doing something wrong.Īnd regarding Mudfish, is there a way to compare what your ping would have been (without Mudfish) at a moment-to-moment basis like WTFast? I can see what my current ping is with Mudfish on the first graph, but is there data to compare what it would be otherwise? Related to this, I'm not 100% sure how to interpret the second graph's traffic. It just seems to not show anything when auto routing. The interesting thing is I can see connection stats if I manually select a route. However, I know that I'm fully connected because if I exit WTFast at any point, I'll immediately get disconnected from the game. It basically looks like this for the entirety of my session, and I can't see what improvements are being made. Following the patch, I'm able to connect with the auto option again, but I no longer get information displayed regarding my connection stats. Regarding WTFast, is anyone else having issues seeing stats when auto selecting your connection route? Before the recent patch, there was a short period where I wasn't able to use it all. However, I have a few questions regarding the two if anyone would be kind enough to enlighten me. I've mostly used WTFast and have been experimenting with Mudfish (each with varying degrees of success).
