We need to players with bad ping/connection to servers.

People with obnoxiously high ping, sup par internet connection via wifi etc., make the experience miserable. Honestly the hitboxes, vaults, and pallets are better than they have ever been. The issue lies within people having server connection of 100-200+.

My idea would be one of the following:

1) limit ping to 100ms, sure playing with your friends might be affected, but if your trying to play with someone across the country or from china to the U.S. sorry that just isn't fair.

2) let us know players ping prior to going into a match so I can avoid the lobby.

3) give the person with good ping the hit/stun to make it fair instead of rewarding bad internet connections.

Nothing feels worse than being robbed of a hit via laggy deadhard/teleporting players, or getting hit well after you stun a killer.

Let me know if you guys have any other ideas below.

I'm just really tired of getting outplayed by people with bad internet. When the person with good internet should have the advantage.

    You cannot punish players for BHVRs bad Dedicated Servers. There are some locations in the world were no Dedicated Server is possible. E.g. I play with Russians on the EU-Server, they have high Ping. Because there is no Server in Russia, because BHVR is using Amazon Game Servers, those are not supported in Russia.

    Should those players be punished? They are not doing anything wrong, it is not their fault.

    I am all for punishing VPNers who connect to regions far away to gain an advantage, but not for punishing players who did nothing wrong on their side.

    However, I agree that the Killers Ping should be visible to Survivors in the Lobby. Because this is the actual relevant information, not the own Ping to the Server.

    all shooters limit ping, it would be region based.

    The question is if those Shooters have Servers next to all players. This is not the case for DBD. You cannot prevent players from playing the game when it is not their fault that BHVR does not have Servers in their Country.

    they can totally look at see "oh these people are from eu, lets match them up with an eu killer." They already do that.... I'm saying if your Australian, you shouldnt be able to connect to US East servers.

    They can see you ping connections to servers, if anything you should be playing with people of equivalent ping. that's what's fair right?

    The games already region locked unless you swf with a friend in a different area. I just think ping is a big issue and I'm open to suggestions, I what ideas on how to make this issue fair for everyone.


    for example if i play tarkov with my friend from Germany. i have to connect to a EU server to make our pings in the under 200ms acceptable range.
