Source: Me, an unfortunate AT&T user that absolutely must play the patch come tomorrow.
It just takes a few minutes to set up, at least Mullvad did for me. I’m sure other VPN’s of your choice are probably pretty easy to install and just turn on too. Personal vouch for Mullvad in particular since they don’t even need an email, you just click a button and get a generated account number, add time, then slap that acc# into the VPN. Super cheap too($5.64) for a month with a 30 day money back guarantee. There are VPN’s out there with free trials as well, I’m just a bit particular about what I let on my PC and Mullvad had good rec’s, at least on reddit after some brief googling.
I’ve also read some people on this sub recommending cloudfare warp as another fix, and it’s free if that is your jam. Would recommend doing your own reading on any of these things before you use them, as always.
Either way, if you are on AT&T and want to actually play the patch without waiting an indefinite amount of time for Square or AT&T or NTT or whoever to fix their shit, grab a VPN and enjoy the game again.
Another solution that has worked for me was using the app: https://1.1.1.1/
I only just started using it yesterday, but it has fixed all my lag issues back to where I can play the game normally. No hiccups or anything. It’s a free and simple option, but I imagine that a real vpn is much more reliable.
I shouldn’t have to pay extra just because I have AT&T. If SE and AT&T can’t get the people they pay to fix their stuff that is a them problem, not a me problem.
If you are a console player with ATT, you can bridge a router with VPN capabilities to the gateway and disable the Wi-Fi on the gateway and use the router you purchased for Wi-Fi.
Anyone figured out a non complicated way to bypass the lag as a PS5 player? Right now I have the most scuffed proxy running. But if anyone has found a better solution I’d love to hear it.
As someone who is new to VPN stuff, how does it work in multi computer homes? Like, if I use WARP, will it apply only to my computer, or does my SO nees to do something too? I don’t want to tamper with a home network too much if I can avoid it.
FYI for those needing VPN on PC, I find that ExpressVPN and NordVPN fixed this issue for me. Make sure you’re choosing the Los Angeles server (LA1/LA5 for ExpressVPN and just that one LA server for NordVPN).
Was gonna come to say this, https://1.1.1.1/ worked perfectly for me, and costs $0. Def recommend giving it a try before forking out for a second subscription service.
Will this help with downloading the patch safely? I don’t want to risk the latency messing up the download and requiring me to redownload the entire game to fix it.
Update: It does not help. I got an “unable to download patch files” after only a couple minutes of downloading.
