Dota 2

I'm at Mweb, no problems with lag, do have issues with finding local server, but meh I play mainly UK now anycase. No problems there. SA Dota2 servers are fooked!
 
Yes thats what I'm talking about. Specifically the SA Dota 2 server

Yea its been like this for some time now. End up finding a game but then it gets stuck at finding server, almost like all the servers are full or its not spawning another one for people to play on. I've heard that Mweb are aware of the issues, but can't really figure out why this is happening.
 
Last night I tried the SA servers, first game "find match" and "find server" was quite quick, but the game I experienced horrible lagg after about 6 minute of play.

The second match, "find match" was about average, and then the "find server", the timer reset twice, once on 2:50 and the other on 5:40. Got a server on the third try at about 1:58.

I think I will stick with East Europe.

I had a similar problem the other day, but you choose to play with semi russians? I chose western rather even though it seems to also have a rather large amount of russians playing.

In one of the recent patches it was changed so that the matchmaking searches for a match on your closest server first. Since then I've seen a lot less Russians on the EU West and East servers
 
Weird that it's just telkom, for now I've switched to 3g and that seems to work fine.
 
The lag has been unbearable the last few days - it's like I'm watching a slideshow. I get about 200ms playing on the EU servers, but then it spikes to 600ms.

Bonus: I lagged out of a game, and no matter what I tried, couldn't reconnect to the server. Thought "oh ffs, here comes another abandon!", but Dota Buff credited me with the win (at 50% now), and Steam gave me a nice Razor trading card! :D

Re: server choices. I queue for the SA and all Euro servers: ping is the same, regardless. Where I used to connect to the local server with 40ms, it's now over 200ms all the time (Mweb's way of saying "fuck you, use us as an ISP or don't play on our server" - an Mweb-using friend of mine still connects with the old latency). And yes, I play on the Russian server now, too. Surprisingly, there are more English-speaking players than Russians!

Is there a noticeable ping difference between europe and russia?
 
Man...I have seen so many people complaining about lag and latency...I have only really noticed a difference in browsing. My gaming is fine, and Im on Mweb as well.
I see we have seacom problems again though eish...

My point though is the east should still have russian-ish players since eastern Europe has all the former Russian states.

have not played in a while due to lag and DGL commitments. If you guys say its better I will maybe try today.
 
And officially release is next month or so. Not going to be fun...

I don't know about that, the extended beta period should help alleviate any issues- if any- that would arise from a conventional release. The game's pretty much complete (with a few heroes to be added of course)
