Oli Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 When playing MTA your ping is the time it takes for 1 packet to go from your PC to the server and for 1 packet to come back to your PC from the server. It is measured in milliseconds and ideally you want a ping lower than 100ms for nice game play. As is with everything in the universe, the further something is away, the longer it takes to get there at a constant speed. Thus, the closer you are to the server, the lower your ping will be (when I say closer to the server, you have to consider the route your packets are taking - you don't want to go to a server next door via somewhere on the other side of the world!). Basically, try and play in servers in your country or continent. Please note that pings can also be affected by bandwidth usage on your machine (or the server), so if you are maxed out then your ping will go up hugely, so don't download/upload any large files while playing as this will make your ping go up.
