IP block people from Africa from playing with US players
Seriously it's just impossible to catch someone who has 500 ping and causes every other person in the game to stutter.

I wish they'd just show pings in lobbies so you know when its really bad. Something that needed implemented YESTERDAY
The problem is that there are 0 BHVR servers in Africa. Not a single one on the continent.
So naturally, people who play there regularly get put in lobbies on the other side of the earth, with 500+ ping.
So, the issue is solvable, BHVR just has to buy more servers.
They dont have a server, so they're going to get tossed to whatever server has the best ping in the moment.
Ideally, BHVR would address high pings causing such a huge disparity in play, as well as maybe even adding a server for DBD players in Africa.
Only in these forums could you be downvoted for saying that bhvr could fix some issues by giving a continent a server lol
He didn't ask for a fix he asked for people to be blocked from playing that is two totally different things.
They can't fix it except by switching away from P2P (which would require reworking the game's entire networking code) or by planting Africa local servers.
im just going to start leaving games if I get a killer with > 200ms
Na, this isn't true. Stop making stuff up. You can add a filter so you don't P2P with anyone more than 200 ping for example. It's not hard. I'm a SWE by trade.
