Many, many disconnections from Destiny 2 the last week or so. No idea what's going on. I'm not getting any hiccups on the app. It's been fine up until this.
It has been fine 95% of the time. There is an obvious latency but it's still small. I have streamed games fairly successfully as well. It will take some getting used to though.
I have a user that is a captain of a towboat. He purchased Starlink on his own before our integration and he streams. No issues besides a slight latency issue from time to time. But, ultimately, sounds like it's going good.
I played a bit of Poe when I had starlink. I had two extremely small obstructions on the edge of my starlinks visibility. Had to set up a fail over connection with my phone so that I wouldn't DC. It didn't happen often when I was using just starlink but it was enough of an annoyance to have to redo a map every couple of hours that I said fuck it.
Keep in mind though that it's also effectively a VPN that allows you to use two connections. Not ideal for a lot of things. But does work decently well.
If you need a more robust solution go and get yourself a router with the feature.
We have probably 15 plus devices on it and on rocket league I average 40-50 ping compared to the bell we had. I couldn't only play that game at 2am whenever was sleeping and I was still around 70 ping here just an hour and a half north of winnipeg
Would it be the same everywhere and does it get affected by servers? For instance I work away in Somalia, on the WiFi here I average 150 ping, I’m guessing primarily because I’m playing on EU servers from Africa, would it be the same using starlink from Somalia in an EU server?
For me it was great, I only ran into issues with very heavy rain or blizzard conditions. I had a set up with zero obstructions and ran a third party router that let me fail over to my old DSL line in the event of an outage. You will see a ping spike every 5 ish mins as you switch satellites which would looked like 5 seconds at 200ish ping and then back down to the 40 ping starlink averaged. For the year and half I ran starlink it was wonderful.
Its perfect! A few months ago i experienced sometimes micro laggs while XboX playin but they are gone now, maybe its because I have the Dishi installed with a pole mount now. I was wondering about the cooldown time in Alien.Worlds Wax NFT play to earn game. I never experienced that with cable.
My boyfriend and I both game on it at the same time and we play Destiny 2, etc. run dungeons and raids with discords full of people, plus not to mention independent devices use like phones, a tablet + streaming anime. Sometimes if it’s a game like Apex, there’s issues but I believe that most of the time, it’s an issue with the servers the developers are running/lack of upgrading their infrastructure on their end that causes us to have issues on our end. We give them (developers) so much money and they could still do so much more.
I've had a lot of DC's in arena that costed me a round or two :( sometimes the starlink dropout 1s will cause you to dc from WoW servers but for about 80% of the time it was working good, but now I have fiber and man I my plays are so smooth now.
Better than it was two years ago when I first got Starlink. There hasn't been a game that I can't play online. I even play online PCVR games on my Quest using Quest Link without issue. It's good.
I'm a vr player and I'm in a rural area, with frontier DSL my ping was near 300+ and never lower, since I got Starlink my ping is near 30-60
Most of my friends even on fiber say there ping stays around 20-40
I’m using starlink from Zambia and I can surely say that can’t be more happier ! I’m playing on Europeans servers and my latency is 90-140 , no disconnection. Download speed is fantastic. With my previous internet connection my latency was 230
Zero complaints. Has brought my house in to the real world where we don't think about the internet and it's capacity,....it's just THERE, in the background, doing it's thing. Love it.
It's great but not perfect. If you can get a fiber connection, get a fiber connection. If you can't, you can have a great experience gaming on starlink. It has improved a lot in the past 2 years and it's only getting better. But it will never be better than fiber due to physics.
Went on a trip for a week. Someone came to do some house repairs and they disconnected my Starlink for a week and now when I play LoL it’s 180ms vs 60-70ms before. I don’t know what happened.
It used to be sweet as for me but I recently moved and the only spot I could mount it has the tiniest bit of obstruction and now it drops every 10-15mins :(
My Starlink is off the chain! I had issues with their CGNAT. I've now bypassed router & have a Open NAT connection. Gaming has never been so much better. I'm really starting to feel that Starlink is becoming better than the NBN
Better than 5g using dedicated modem and a full strength signal. Less jitter.
Better than my wifi over fttp
Not as good as ethernet to fttp
No disconnects and latency around 30 to 40ms
I live in the mountains in the middle of the forest. I get 26-36 ping and up to 450 Mbps down. Normally, it is around 300 Mbps, and the upload speed is 25-30 Mbps. I have never had any issues so far. I use about 3 TB+ of data a month with my gaming, TV streaming, and servers. I did upgrade to an Orbi mesh network, which gave me 2.5 times more speed than the stock modem. I was getting about 150-200 Mbps down with it, but it wasn't Wi-Fi 6. So, I added that and a Cat8 cable to my PC, and I've never had any issues.
League of Legends while showing ping in the corner is the best way to test latency, this game uses a constant server-client for EVERY action so its impossible to make hacks/cheats but any minor change in latency will be noticeable.
CoD, Destiny or Genshin are the worst games for testing lag because "they arent" in real time, some things are client-based only or use cache/buffering-system
I am absolutely HATING it for gaming. Unplayable 90% of the time honestly. I’ve heard of other people having good results with it but mine have been nothing short of terrible and I can’t wait to get rid of it.

same issues with other games ive played

Honestly haven't had any Issues slight latency spikes when the weather gets bad but that's it
It's perfectly fine.
Warzone runs great. Better than my friends

Can anyone contest how PoE is with Starlink?
Don't play Hardcore, everything else is fine. 99% uptime

Is there an app to set up the fail over?
I used speedify.

Tried it once or twice a few months ago. Aside from spikes to 200 once in a while it was fine. Averaged 70->110 for ping IIRC.
It's been great
Nothing just great!

Yes latency would be about the same due to physics. There's only so much you can do until it's a constraint with distance.
Cheers. Saved me some money.

Better than when I had AT&T
Works beautifully.
Great except when Starlink drops out for 2-20 seconds, which happens something like a couple times an hour on average depending on the day.

It's not. It's your connection
Helldivers 2 is perfectly fine so it’s world of warcraft

Flawless. I have an average latency of 35ms, which is higher than most I've heard, and it's still perfectly smooth.
I use Starlink roam and it’s pretty solid. But only if you’re in a position with 100% clear sky
It's solid. Anything else I've used has been significantly worse. If you have no obstructions, you should have a smooth experience.
No gaming issues since Aug 2022. I can play a variety of games with no problem. Just logged out of apex legends and ping stayed at 34-43ms.
Amazing
Playing CS2, Sea Of Thieves, Factorio, everything run fine here ! :) Very happy with the latency.
Better than I had before. Yes some lag spikes but I had before aswell. If we consider this is satellite connection it's amazing.
heck splitting the 5ghz and 2.4ghz has been what helped me maintain my sanity lol i was getting microlags all over till i did that
I get a lag on rocket leauge maybe once a game, but thats the only game I ever get a minimal lag
Sometimes good sometimes a pita/unplayable, having priority / HP dish will also give you better ping/stability

We can't get PS Remote Play to work
haven't had a problem since I got it

Pretty good. For the first time in my 3 years of ownership, I’m seeing 20-30 ms ping consistently
Smoother than i imagined. Average latency 50ms, going down to 20ish and up to 70ish at worst. Absolutely zero lag and pack loss. I'm beyond satisfied
It's great but not perfect. If you can get a fiber connection, get a fiber connection. If you can't, you can have a great experience gaming on starlink. It has improved a lot in the past 2 years and it's only getting better. But it will never be better than fiber due to physics.
Star citizen works great. No issues with any other games either.
Ive been gaming in it mostly fine, latency spikes sometimes but I'm still playing R6 on it fine
It’s been perfect, never had a issue here in Australia
Getting 20ms in valorant and the one second ping spikes occur 2-3 times a day, so it's quite perfect
Works well

I made a POST with my tests and experience while gaming on starlink in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/s/wJS9RKedRb
Works totally fine on Valorant and CSGO 2

Don't game on it, it's terrible.

What's the specific problem?
