Hello eveyone!

New to this forum, so I hope the subject I want to talk about wasn't post yet!

I will very soon move to Mauritius for work and as a game/app developper I am very found of gaming and specially online gaming.

I don't want to open a new topic about the ping and the internet connection in Mauritius, I had plenty of info about that.

I'd like to ask if there are gamers here playing games like DOTA2, LOL, HOTS, WOW, CS or any other online game and tell me if, they have  experienced any lag, ping issues, connection lost during game. Is it possible to play some quality, lag wise, online game in Mauritius?

Plz specify from which city you play, what game you've played and the server location, and let me know  about your overall gaming experience with the Mauritius' connection potential.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello,

It will be short, it does not matter the speed of your connection, ping is awful (450ms for Europe and West US coast)... Maurice is a bad location for online gaming :) except if there are servers in South Africa but it will remain bad. I did not check for Singapour.

For some games, there are serveur in the Reunion island so it is playable on these servers.

Bye

what can we do about this? I an getting 130ms ping on overwatch america server and it is very annoying. since it is so fast paced and action packed, When my good reaction time gets bottle necked by the ping , I just feel frustrated.

Hello, Thanks for thinking about us, actually it would be great if you could help us in the online gaming experience, A lot of mauritian gamers have trouble in playing games like COD, Fortnite etc....because of the high latency in mauritius. Many of us talked to our wifi company, they said that they can't do anything about it, because server are too far away. I thought that since you are a game developer you might help us set up a gaming server in our country, it will help all the gamers in african region. Will wait for an feedback.
Thanks.

Servers are way too far the closest server there is singapore combined with the atrocious download speed of this country does not pair well im on a constant 180ms connected to singapore servers and 300ms to eu-uk servers majority of the wifi in this country does not even reach 100mbps which takes almost a day to play a game i have installed
