6 years agoFattyffat Where you're getting the server locations from? I wonder if that information is still current. It's possible Epic may have made some changes on their end. I did ask Epic's tech support if they knew where the servers were located but none of the support people there I got a response from seem to have any idea where the servers are located.
In game I see the West server showing a supposed 35ms ping while in the game settings but whenever I connect I see ~70ms. The east coast server shows ~55ms in the settings but gives me the same ~70ms latency as well. 70ms to California is actually decent compared to some other games I play but even with 70ms I have no problem playing Fortnight at all. I've never had lower pings than that since I first stated playing Fortnite.
