    Sure, call them and ask if there's any reported issues or any routing issues from you to Canada/Japan. While some won't admit it or think it doesn't matter, network and hardware (graphic) lag is a factor in people getting hit after they move. It's impossible for the game to be miscalculating you if others can do it just fine - a bug means no one can avoid AoE or LoS because it's bugged, it would be universal.
    1 this game can run on a toaster box. I also have these issues I have 2 7950s and 32gb of ram, game on ssds. Not a PC issue.

    2 Claiming packetloss? How so? Do you have a reverse MTR or a traceroute that shows packetloss? Are you trying to ping the server and seeing packetloss? Hmm could the servers be behind a firewall blocking ICMP? Random assumptions..

    Im a network engineer. Ive worked through all the lines to the damn router of their datacenter. From where I am to where they are between 90ms to 150ms. And thats actually pretty good. because why? Its a shared bandwidth segment link. And you cannot travel faster than the speed of light.

    Are people taking different hops than me to get to their datacenter? Absolutely but claiming packetloss immediately is wrong.

    Just because your latency spikes up does not mean packet loss. There could have been a route change to layer 3 infrastructure along the path somewhere. Because well... its not just 1 cable that runs across a country.

    The problem is the instance. Period. And not so great coding.
