momosan Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Just wondering how the latency (ping) is as I know a few people here use the steam platform for playing games online. Are there Thai servers for some of these games (TF2, CS)? Or are you connecting to US/European servers? I've tried playing CS1.6 (non-steam version) on Thai servers. But it's such a hassle trying to get into a game that it's just not worth the headache anymore in trying to play a user-supported game. Although the pings are great (40-50ms). The other alternatives to multiplayer FPS that I know of is Special Force but the gameplay just doesn't feel right for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dttk0009 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I play TF2, love that game! Most servers with the best latency are in Malaysia and Singapore, though they're usually quite filled and the players are nice Latency ranges from 40-70, which works ok for fps games. You could also play on Korean servers where there's more of, but you'll be in the 130-150ms range, where you'll start to notice the lag a little.

DP25 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Yes, there are Thai servers (as well as Malaysian and Singaporean) on Steam for both TF2 and CS. CoD4 also is popular. Great pings (20-40 Thai 60-80 Singapore) and very easy to find a game at any time of the day or night. You never have to connect to the US or Europe, there is always a local game to join.

dttk0009 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I've only ever seen one Thai server for TF2, and it runs at 32ms for me. However, they don't do arena so I don't bother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DP25 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 There were two Thai TF2 servers last time I was on, but one of them never seems to have any players. Neither do arena, but I prefer standard TF2 as I don't like having to wait. Singapore servers work fine if the Thai server is full though, and have arena mode.

dttk0009 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Yeah that's where I usually play. Additionally everyone on those servers also speaks English, and for a team based game like TF2 it's very useful (assuming you don't know how to read or speak Thai).
