Garena announces the end of Ping Alto, LAG and faster to open Free Fire
Garena interviewed Free Fire players and identified numerous problems with the game
The next Free Fire update , scheduled to take place on January 11, 2023, in addition to bringing news such as new items, will also bring a series of changes and improvements related to Ping Alto and the opening time of Garena 's Battle Royale.
Initially, Garena interviewed Free Fire players and identified numerous problems with the game. Among the main changes are the improvement of the servers and also the reduction of the time when logging in and starting a match.
As a result, the Free Fire developer team found that the long duration is mainly due to loading a lot of content at the same time, including all kinds of notifications, banners, pop-ups and other information.
In addition, Garena decided to fix the problem of high ping and lag in Free Fire through Duo Network Connection , which, if activated, detects which of your Wi-Fi or mobile data connections is better and switches to that network.
Next, fans will be able to access the full note from the Free Fire developers about the game's loading and high ping problems.
Garena issues a note with solutions for high ping and delays in loading Free Fire
We are pleased to share with you a series of optimizations to improve your gaming experience. Free Fire has a strong foundation of accessibility, but as we've focused more on adding new content, many of you have had more trouble running the game itself. Over the next few months, we'll be looking to address some of Free Fire's biggest issues, including basic navigation and lag.
Simplified in-game interactions
While interviewing Free Fire players, we noticed that on some devices the game took more than 5 minutes to start. The developer team has carried out tests on the most common devices for playing Free Fire and found that the long duration is mainly due to loading a lot of content at the same time, including all kinds of notifications, pop-ups and other information. To make your Free Fire experience smoother, we've made changes to smooth out your in-game experience:
1. Login and Lobby Optimizations:
- The. Login time has been reduced and automatic login has been added
- B. Less popups.
- ç. The time between arriving at the departure island and getting on the plane has been shortened.
- d. Faster loading of friends list.
2. More fluid interfaces:
- The. Including mode selection, team lobby, game results, inventory, events, mail and missions.
3. Lag Optimization:
- The. Decreased lag in matches.
- B. Decreased delays on the match results page.
Of course, our commitment is to continue to improve your gaming experience, so stay tuned for more optimizations of this kind in the future.
Damage and «teleportation» bugs
Over the past two years, the development team has put a lot of work into identifying and fixing bug damage issues, including mid-range shotguns and hidden barriers from 40 meters away.
As we dig deeper into these issues, we realize that high ping is often the root cause, giving players the false impression of bug or hacking behavior . We are now focusing on resolving the high ping issue to further reduce damage bugs .
In this update , we modified 2 frequent consequences of high ping . The first, and one of the most common damage mistakes, is when your damage is invalidated even before the enemy deploys a gel wall .
The development team performed optimizations so that the actions performed are now as close as possible to the control time.
The other optimization is to smooth out the problem of " teleportation " movement, which is often mistakenly perceived as hacks. Players who move with high ping tend to jump forward instantly, making it difficult to aim.
We've now made their movements more progressive so they're more predictable and don't feel like they're being teleported . Over the coming months, we'll be adding more improvements to make high ping movements feel more fluid.
internet connection
In the coming months, we will be introducing an internet-related update as another attempt to address the high ping and lag issue.
Free Fire covers numerous countries, and its servers are spread all over the world. To better serve our people in less populated countries, we use the same server for multiple countries so everyone can enjoy a short pairing time.
This, however, led to the high ping issue. We plan to address the issue with our Duo Network Connection which, if enabled, detects which of your Wi-Fi or mobile data connections is better and switches to that network. Other long-term plans include adding more servers and developing algorithms that speed up the game.
It is worth remembering that the adjustments mentioned above will take effect in the next Free Fire update , scheduled to take place on January 11, 2023 .
