Hello,
I would like to report an issue with the server browser in Arma Reforger.
We operate dedicated Arma Reforger servers that are physically located in Barnaul, Russia.
The problem is that our servers are displayed in the server browser with a ping of approximately 300 ms. However, after connecting to the server, the actual in-game ping is only around 30–50 ms.
We investigated the issue and found something unusual with the server region detection.
Although the servers are physically located in Barnaul, Russia, they appear to be detected as being located in Tokyo, Japan.
This seems to be the reason why the server browser reports an incorrect ping. The actual network latency to the server is normal, but the server browser shows approximately 300 ms before joining.
Details
Physical server location: Barnaul, Russia
Region shown/detected by the system: Tokyo, Japan
Ping shown in server browser: ~300 ms
Actual ping after connecting: ~30–50 ms
Could you please investigate how the server region and ping are determined by the Arma Reforger backend/server browser?
In particular, we would like to know:
Why our servers in Barnaul are being detected as Tokyo.
Why the server browser reports ~300 ms when the actual latency is only 30–50 ms.
Whether the server region/geolocation information can be corrected.
Whether this could be related to the Arma Reforger backend, server discovery system, or relay infrastructure.
We can provide the server IP addresses, logs, screenshots, and any other information required to investigate the issue.
Thank you.
