High ping on ROBLOX; But not on any other games

This isn’t an issue happening to me, but it’s happening to my friend. The issue is whenever he enters any game, it doesn’t matter what, he is constantly at 200 / 300+ ping average. Yet, on other games such as Rainbow Six Siege he gets around 30 - 60 ping, and on Rust, he gets around 30 - 60 ping on there as well, He lives in Michigan, and when he joins an Illinois server he gets 50 ping, but on a ROBLOX Illinois server he gets around 260 - 300, could this be an issue with his modem/firewall or something? Would there be any way to troubleshoot this issue? Any help is greatly appreciated as he cannot play any games that are precision-based / rely on ping

I think this would fall under a bug report of some kind. Try testing if these conditions also appear on baseplates. It’s highly possible that all the games your friend plays likely have unoptimized code bases, though I don’t have any evidence to assume so.

My second question would be, does your friend feel like they’re playing at 300 ping? I remember a bug-support post a bit ago where measured ping using a certain in-game function differed from players’ ping in reality.

Third, where is your friend getting this information that they’re at 200-300 ping? Are they using an in-game service or are they using the Ctrl+Shift+FN menus?

If you end up finding an actual issue here, then I’m not sure Roblox can do much anyway. There’s no real way to pinpoint the cause of these network issues, though I may be wrong on this.

Hope this helps.

the games that have been tested is Deepwoken, Prison Life, Murder Mystery 2. All the games listed have around 50 - 60 ping for me, while its around 300 for him, so i doubt its a game issue. He’s used the Shift F3 menu to see the ping, and the performance stats.
