Hey guys,
Who is the host in game, is it the team leader? or not necessarily?
I'm from Israel and I keep getting bad pings. I don't know if it is when I'm the host or not
but sometimes I get peaks like 1000ms ping and the game gets stuck...
Can I improve it with modifying the settings?
Thanks.

Who's the host?
Re: Who's the host?
Typically the player with the best internet connection will host. Has nothing to do with rank/team lead.Ese wrote: ↑Sun Oct 01, 2023 9:51 am Hey guys,

Re: Who's the host?
This is correct. There's a misconception that the host is the Team Lead, but this isn't the case. The game will try and prioritize best connection and assign that player host (there are some exceptions here). We always recommend those with poor connections to opt out of hosting in the game settings.
The best way to determine player host is by trying to leave the game. The host will always get a warning message that they're closing the lobby for everyone else (since we're peer-to-peer).
