Candypooh 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2018 Hi all, Since I started playing on Elysium servers I have had huge lag spikes and eventually disconnects. I have never had any similar problems in other games or other private servers. I was told by a game master that this could probably have something to do with my ISP blocking some connections, or something like that. He suggested that i tried a free VPN to see if this would fix the problem. Apparently connecting to a VPN while playing seems to fix the lag, however this is not durable in the long run. So... To my questions: 1. How can my ISP be at fault here? 2. If my ISP is blocking connections, why am I still able to connect to the server? 3. Can i do anything on my part besides connecting to a VPN service? 4. If I contact my ISP, what do i ask them to fix? :p Hope someone is able to help me, since this lag is unbearable to play with.. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zancon 117 Report post Posted July 10, 2018 Elysium, or any other game server, does not control the routing your ISP chooses. The VPN routes your traffic through their choice of servers, instead of what your ISP chooses. I really doubt calling your ISP would do much as I don't think they would even understand your question but you could try if you wanted. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Candypooh 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2018 I did try that, and it seemed to work. I was just wondering if there was anything else I could do, cause if I'm going to pay to play on a private server, I want to pay to the server and not a VPN service :) 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A VPN is the only solution. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
