So I just changed my internet service, maybe that's why I'm facing problems with my ping. It seems like the game is affecting it, but the latency is consistently high—around 100 or more when using European servers. I thought it was the game at first, but then speed tests showed the same issue. Usually my ping is about 12 during a test, which isn't bad, but it spikes to 95 or more when using the European server. I'm considering switching to a different router to lower my ping, or maybe going back to my old provider if I can get a faster download speed. I don’t want to deal with slow connections or internet staff.

You're currently located somewhere with a noticeable delay. A 100ms ping is acceptable for distances between 5 and 7 kilometers. The speed you're seeing isn't mainly affected by your router or modem, unless it's being bogged down by heavy NAT processing. Since you're getting a 12ms connection to the speedtest server—which is close enough for your location—it's likely your ISP is routing traffic through a less optimal path to the Mordhau server. Try checking Task Manager or Resource Monitor, expanding the Network section, and see the IP address of the server you're using. Then run a traceroute from your machine to that IP in Command Prompt, and share the results with your ISP for further investigation.

What are the expectations for playing with less than 100 players and achieving a 1 ping local speed?

To achieve 1ms in games, you'd need to relocate to Europe, but even then performance would still range from 25 to 50 ms.

Latency refers to how long it takes for a packet to travel from you to the server and back. Distance plays a significant role in these delays. A traceroute can help identify the second most impactful hop, though be aware that results may not always be accurate. It serves as a useful initial guide, but it shouldn't be taken at face value. I concur with MrTiC that there aren’t many effective solutions available for this problem.

I reach New York at 85, covering about 6000km. Tel Aviv and Hadara are roughly 3300km away, while Jerusalem is around 85km. It might relate to server routing or your ISP's traffic management—best to discuss with them.
