My lag OVER 9000!?

[Luckcu13 0]

Hello, I have been playing for a few weeks now, but my boarding school server seems to have some sort of trouble. My latency is often going through the roof (500-9000) even at 4 O'clock in the morning. Can someone explain this or send me to the right place to discuss this?

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place.

Ping...your ping is high.

What application says that?

Battleye each time it kicks me.

Usually if im lucky I can get on a server for 5 minutes then it will kick me saying ping too high. Or it will just kick me saying Ping too high. I think theres something that my school's server is having a problem with, and im hoping its not me.

There are some points where my school server crashes altogether...

This probably has to do with your schools firewalls and likely a lost cause unless you can make friends in the IT department.

Yea i can get friends and join their IT department.

So firewalls? why is that? How does it cause lag? are there any other options?

Also, my school has a logging and login thing, but no filter...

I just tested my latency and my bandwidth using Speedtest.net , my ping is going at 35 at NYC, and I'm in Connecticut ... And when I go on to a DayZ server, I get a latency of over 9000!? Can someone explain this to me!?

Just tested this from New Mexico to here, its going at 98ms... that still amazing! WTF?

They are using a firewall with heavy restrictions and it's scanning all the packets going through those ports is the best I can explain it easily.

A payed for VPN service might work also but other than that you are going to have to get them to configure their network security for the ports DayZ uses.

Will ask about it, thanks so much!
