Sporadic red lobby ping for the past month
Posted: Mon Aug 17, 2020 11:17 am
Ever since mid-July 2020, I've noticed my ping in most (but not all) lobbies in OpenRA will be red the majority of the time in the lobby - sometimes it will switch to green for a few moments then back to red. Other people have noticed the same thing lately and they'll back me up in the lobby chat to persuade the host not to kick me for having a red ping - and vice-versa. I stress there are never any lag issues in-game, however!
This happens with OpenRA servers that are in the same country or geographical area as me (North America), as well as in Europe.
I'd like to pin down the red ping indicators - I assume it's due to packet-loss rather than actual high ping times - but there's a lack of immediately visible documentation in the OpenRA community about how the lobby ping test system works.
Has anyone else noticed the same thing lately?
