Maybe the servers do not have enough CPU power to calculate all simulations. Some hosts work just fine even during the high traffic and some servers do not work at all.Įven if there is no packet loss sometimes the game does not run well. I have seen Blizzard, Amazon, Google cloud, Host Europe GmbH, UK2.net and multiple other IP addresses of the servers. The servers (or at least their public IP addresses) are all over the place and hosted by multiple different companies. My guess is that their simulation step is exactly 48 ms long. So here are some details that I have picked up:įirst of all, the servers do send packets to the client (tick rate) at about 21 hz intervals. I ended up writing a small parser for the game data that counts the real packet loss values of the last 1000 packets. I routed the traffic through another computer and run the network analysis in there. I guess that is kind of a security measurement. The game does not allow you to run Wireshark (or pcap) on the same computer. This of course is not possible and I wanted to investigate what is the real packet loss value. I quickly found out about the internal statistics in the options and to my surprise the UI showed packet loss values of over 100%.

The servers were laggy and people were skipping around. When I started playing Warzone one of the first things I noticed were the server issues.
