Hosting

Question

I been hosting few mission but sometimes people kept complaining that his/her ping too high, too lag, disconnected from the mission and etc. Although, I run 10 to 15Mpbs when its supposed to be around 20+ when i make a subscription for 30Mpbs per-month. It's fine to hosting local players but oversea players get struggle with their connection when im the one that host (not most of them..only few). Actually, what is the requirements for you be able to hosting oversea players? Please just provide a constructive feedback or criticism.

Thank you

I dont think there is much of a solution to that. Ping is two sided thing. As in its the strength of the connection relative between two people. So you can have very good internet but if the other person doesn't or just doesnt have a proper connection link to yours, which happens a fair bit if youre hosting across countries and continents, it will result in high ping. If its a regular group of friends you team up with, the best solution is to find out who has the best relative ping with all of you guys and they can host your team.

Indeed and i just worried about people getting upset with host migration and report you for bad connection (I don't know if this work) bc i met someone that really toxic then block me for that reason. For now, i just chill with my clanmate doing mission and hunts also stay away from public lobby. 😔

Nah don't worry about that. No one can report you for bad connection.. its not a valid reason. And anyways, while some people complain about it, I just usually avoid it. Its not something we can do anything about so why bother. I personally have a lousy connection most times and even when I have a better one, I just avoid hosting if it can be avoided.. nothing to worry about either way.

There's not much you can do,

even a stable 2 Mbps connection is good enough for acceptable hosting. It's the actual physical distance between two players that will determine good ping latency. 

Some basic hygiene though :

ensure you have a pc that can run the game without issues (hosting takes some cpu resources, having substandard pc can affect players) I avoid hosting on plains and Fortuna for extended runs as my cpu is a little old and can't take the load (especially the tri migraine inducer) 

Avoid using wifi - wifi can be less stable than ethernet connection, it is a good practice to avoid wifi connections when hosting. 

Set a minimum ping - set a minimum ping in the settings (200 is a good enough reference) so you don't connect to players that are too far away.
