My server ping (Sydney) shows [???] instead of numbers.
When I tested out The Range and Deathmatch, both would automatically connect me to Singapore (a server I do not have selected). I checked my internet speed and ping, both are fine. Other games work well, and none of my friends have this issue. This only started happening about an hour ago or so. If anyone is having the same issue or knows how to fix it, please let me know!

Hey man same is happening to me atm do you know how to solve it yet?
From what I can tell its a issue with VAL and not us however im uncertain as of the moment
This is happening to most of us
same for me
same
same with me
same
same
im so sad because it lagged me out mid game and i couldnt load back in made me lose 12 rr 
damn i lost 31 elo
same
maybe its happening because of the floods?
im confused why its only valorant and only some people though, my friend who lives about 100m away from me can play no problem
the server ping is in sydney, theres no rain/flooding rn
I'm having the same issue, I've tried everything to fix it but I think its a Valorant issue not me... Also I've been trying to see if it was me through their support but they take hours to respond. So I gave up and came here, they told me in support its a issue on my end... Mhmmm didn't seem like it. But guess Sydney servers are screwed. If anyone has any information on this or can confirm what the issue is please let me know.
Can confirm it is not on your end
So many people are having this issue as of rn
so its gotta be their servers or something
But what's weird my mates who play on Sydeny servers are having no issues, My mate lives one state over he can play on Sydney server with 13ms but mine was ??? look at the clip bellow.
I thought it was my pc being bad so I deleted alot of games 💀
I reinstalled the whole game thinking it was mine.
same
same but a couple of my friends dont have any troubles
yea i also dont have this issue, sydney server is working fine for me
could be specific states with the issue
What states are you guys in im in SA
me too
nsw
vic
i have friends from sa that are fine though
redownloading the game doesnt fix it?
i tried and it doesnt
me and my mate are from vic, he got 16 ms and i got the problem
My mate in NSW can play so its not certain states from this clip
thats so odd, maybe then specific providers not sure how this works tbh ðŸ˜
maybe its the network providers?
what're ur guys internet providers
and my internet has something weird, yk when you have an internet, it has a 5Ghz version? i suddenly got a 5Ghz 2, so i have two 5ghz versions and the other one has a number 2
telstra
its question mark because the ping more than 3 digits
optus or telstra is my wifi
ok ok, everyone reading right now, comment your wifi
yeh thats hella weird
telstra, and i dont got the issue
oh what
well
💀
nah i know some kid with "dlink" and he got it
i had a theory that optus/telstra people have the issues
telstra for me
cant get on at all
idk whats happening
RIGHT
some of my friends can get on
mine works
I cant
but friends cant
lmao
yeah its dumb
its not us though its gotta be val
so many ppl are having issues
yea
this is stupid, me and my mate (who has normal ping) was gonna help me reach gold (im silver 3) today cuz theres not much days left
yeh might just be a luck thing tbh
and its been like, 2 hours i think
yeah i have to finish the battlepass
yeh i logged on like 10 past 5
ive waited 5 hours
wtf
still got the same issue
same
i first got on 4 hours ago and it didnt work
yeah idk I hope its fixed soon
yea hopefully
I was gonna try get immortal 3 tonight man 😦
and I need to finish the BP before tmr
tfff
goodluck
thats so unlucks
thanks ill need it if servers are this fcked lmaooo
wait actually i got the issue since like 2 pm cuz i was playing val at school with this vpn that was set to australia so that i get normal ping unlike other vps, and i thought, huh my vpn is buggin, so i just didnt mind it and logged off cuz i cant play with 100 ping, and then when i got home, when i checked, its still the same, and i panicked that did i broke my games ping or something with the vpn
yeah idkkkk
val being dumb
I may just play on 100 ping at this stage
im VIC
i wonder if its ip based or account based. like if a different account wont have the problem but my main will or like a disease and every account i log on to will have this issue
maybe...
VIC
aswell
If you go into a game, even if the friend is the leader, both of you will be put into either singapore or mumbai
yep
My friends and i are all in VIC, only 2 of us have the problem
Nah i use mateconnect and i have the issue
Yep
I tested that, its based on connection. My gf and i tried logging into each others accounts to see if the connection is account based or not, and she had normal ping on mine, while her account seemed broken for me
wait actually imma try with my alt ac
if the problem is still there
then
I tested it it was broken on my alt
conclusion is the wifi is the problem
oh damn
actual?
Yep but your welcome to try
ye im loading in
well yeah still broken
anyways my alts shop is good
i dont get it why my alt always gets the good stuff
Not the glitchpop
anyways
glitchpop op is W
but
Nah to distracting
im either gonna play fn or ow2
BOYS I FOUND A FIX
oh fr?
how?
I was looking in the community help tab and saw this it actually worked
Cant send it I will copy the txt
ok
is it this one?
Its called UU Game boster
yep thats it
did it work for u
your ping does drop to like 30 ms tho but its better than 120
Worked
Its called UU Game Booster
cheers mate, i get like 20+ ping
But better than 120+
@aquaau @relolface We got a fix
trying it out rn
wait what
whats UU game booster?
No idea tbh I think its like a VPN
But it works
weird so will any VPN work then???
Cause its just a VPN no?
HOLY SHIT
Try.
im basically
getting the same ping
bro thx so much Pokie
lifesaver
alri ill try rn
No issue
Let me know if a normal VPN worked.
oki @Pokie @josht101008 and stuff
normal VPN does work
however only if you connect to sydney
I see.
oh damn
ok
It was that easy all day I've been changing DNS adapter options registry ect
bro im fine with this singapore servers are so easy
I tried connecting to where I am melbourne but it didnt work
Also the sydney server for my VPN is 43ms and thus UU game booster is 32 so ima stay using this
oki im using nord so its like 20 haha
not happening to me
Im having the same problem anyone know a fix?
VPN
sydney server
should fix it
Whats a good vpn? preferably free
@aquaau
~uhhh idk many free ones
I use Nord VPN
Do u have to pay for nordvpn?
I think the others are using like UU game booster
Yeah its a paid thing
UU game booster isnt
idk if its legit or not @Pokie is using it they seem to be fine
Honestly I'm really cautious with running any programs let alone something with booster in the title. I had a mate that told me he had something running in the back while valorant was open and he got banned. Idk if its worth the risk ngl
Ill just wait it out
Isnt it just visual? Youre basically vonnecting through a different host and it shows the ping between them and the server
So you get 30 + whatever your ping is when connecting to host
So more like ~60+ ping
VPN wise?
It is kinda its better then 120 constant ping though
True
Oh well i guess im not queueing comp tonight tho
i might just wait till problem is solved
It seems legit I think its just a VPN only for games nothing else
huh
its now 120
with UU game booster btw
Got queued into singapore comp twice rip
rip
nvm
i think it may be ISP specific, same thing happened to me, ive been playing unrated on singapore this whole afternoon
is UU game booster free?
yes it's free
can u gert banned for using it?
idk probably not
My friend is queensland
@Pokie Im SA as well and its not working
DO NOT USE THE VPN I JUST GOT BANNED FOR USING A VPN
bruhhh
Yeah
dead ass
still an issue?
comment your ip too i rlly want that...
this happened to me yesterday when I was gonna climb before act ends ðŸ˜
