Virginia server has 70+ ping

So I'm from NC and my main server is N. Virginia which usually has 20 ping but after the episode 8 act 3 update it has had 70+ ping. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it. I have reset my router, I have closed and open the game 1000 times. I even uninstalled the game and that didn't work. I have spectrum internet idk if that has something to do with it. I would like to mention that every other server has their normal ping its just virginia. Please if anyone knows anything to help I NEED some help thank you.

Use tcp optimizer Change the dns to 1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1
moxie
moxie•8mo ago
sg's tcp optimizer? or are you using a different one bc i dont see the option to edit my dns settings wait maybe im just not very bright are you optimizing it in tcp and setting your dns in windows settings

My Virginia server seems to be running fine now but it still says I have 70+ ping so maybe it’s a visual glitch atp cause my game is running smoother then it was before I tried all this stuff
moxie
moxie•8mo ago
cant relate i tried tcp optimization and changing my dns settings and my va server def has higher ping than it should but every other servers ping is what it should normally be

Can you DM me a traceroute to 192.207.0.1?
CaliDream
CaliDreamOP•8mo ago
I would but I have absolutely no clue what that means can you explain how to do that and what it is?
Del Bringo
Del Bringo•8mo ago
1. Open up a command terminal 2. Type in tracert 192.207.0.1 and hit enter then copy and paste the result in a DM to me. Will probably need to let the traceroute finish before sending me the result. I have a gut feeling Spectrum is sending your packets on a tour of the East Coast.

Lol they definitely are but the strangest thing is last night they were playing with my feelings my ping was normal for 5 minutes then went back to being bad it’s like they were giving me a taste before crushing my soul again Do I need to open val and be in a game on Virginia server?
Del Bringo
Del Bringo•8mo ago
Nope, you can do it whenever. When playing VAL in NA you'll always get 192.207.0.1 back as the address.

I DM’d you my results let me know if I need to run it again I’m not sure it worked correctly
