Brazilian Servers

[IceFrog]

Post about your experiences using the Brazilian servers here. How is your ping to it?

[PlanetBob]

iam from brazil and iam getting GREAT ping on brazilian servers 40-55ms iam using Gvt ISP, i think there is bug only with Velox Isp i heard...

[Nik0]

~350ms from Uruguay, i get 190-210 on USE.

So the problems i've seen happening are:

- Users of ISP "Velox" and a couple of other random users having bad ping
- Private games created in south america sometimes reboot to lobby even if everyone has succesfully connected
- It takes a long time to find a server sometimes

I also had ping problems and i use "speedy-telefonica" but it doesn't happen since last week.

My ISP is Oi Velox, and I get 180 to 210 ms... I live in Mins Gerais - Brazil. My state is close to São Paulo.

I get 40 to 60 ms on other brazilian servers located in SP. (TF2 for example)

We are working with various ISPs in the area to see if we can help routing to the servers. Some ISPs may have some interconnection issues and may take a while to resolve.

When you were kicked back to the lobby, did someone take an excessively long time to load?

For the last one, our Brazilian servers have become very popular and they are very busy. We will hopefully be adding more servers soon. Note that matchmaking and coop matches will get priority for servers over players wishing to play single player with bots.

Honestly I can't play in Brazilians servers, the ping increased by 50-60% (200-300ms: Oi Velox). However, for others I've seen 30-45ms.

Everyone was "ready" on the loading screen but the the loading countdown kept on going, booting us eventually. It wasn't a isolated event as it happened quite a few times. There is not much info as there is no record about those events or anything... idk how to get useful information about it.

Just want to add something.. tho idk how to reproduce it, it happened two times ina row, a simple change to useast made it work so it is definetely a issue with the brazillian server.

brazilian servers are already live ? going to test them

[Lynx6]

Usually I got 80-90 ms on brazilian servers, but in Dota 2 is 220ms. Right now, my preferred server is USA East with 150ms.

[soulzor]

40-50 ping

[Live.Buda]

better than US East servers, but still very laggy

[unameru]

170-190ms from buenos aires, argentina, i get the same ping on USE.

First, I'd like to thank you developers for the attention you are giving to Brazil, by giving us a server and actually trying to improve it and optimize it for everyone. Being mostly ignored by the gaming companies so far, its nice to see more and more developers starting to notice how brazil has a huge market that needs to be better explored.

I'm one of the OI VELOX users who has a bad ping: It variates from 200 to 300. Although, I have to add that I live in the North of Brazil, which is far away from the datacenters, BUT 200 is not the ping I should be getting. Its roughly the same ping I get in the USEast, which is around 250-300. I normally got between 80-100 ping on servers in Sao Paulo in other games, so I figure I should be getting the same thing in Dota2 servers.

Although this is a bad situation for me and other Oi velox users, I'm glad that IceFrog and the develop team are paying attention and trying to work out this situation with our ISP.
Knowing that you guys are working this out gives me hope that it'll be fixed eventually

It just takes too long to find a match, and also to "find server" in order to play a custom game.

I don't know why, but thats the way it goes.
