Does PingAim work with FragPunk?
Yes. PingAim uses its WFP kernel driver to route FragPunk traffic through optimized paths to NetEase's servers. FragPunk's NEAC anti-cheat (Phanuel) includes anti-injection protection, but PingAim's WFP driver operates at the Windows network stack level — completely separate from game memory — and is not detectable or interfered with by NEAC. No bans have been reported from network optimization tools with FragPunk or other NEAC-protected games.
What servers does FragPunk use?
FragPunk uses dedicated servers operated by NetEase Games across regions including US East, US West, US Central, Europe, Asia East, Southeast Asia, and Oceania. You can manually select your matchmaking region in the lobby by pressing R or clicking the 'Server' button. Each region shows your current ping to help you choose the best server.
Why is FragPunk's ping so high?
High ping in FragPunk typically comes from one of three sources: being placed on a wrong/distant region (fix: manually select your region in lobby), ISP routing that takes a suboptimal path to NetEase servers (fix: use a network optimizer like PingAim), or WiFi interference (fix: switch to wired Ethernet). Enable FragPunk's performance overlay (Settings > General > Performance Metrics) to confirm the issue is ping rather than FPS.
What anti-cheat does FragPunk use?
FragPunk uses 'Phanuel Anti-Cheat', which is a version of NetEase's NEAC (NetEase Anti-Cheat) system. It loads a kernel-level driver (FPSNeacSafe.sys) dynamically while the game is running — the driver is unloaded after you close the game, unlike Valorant's Vanguard which runs at boot. The anti-cheat focuses on memory tampering and DLL injection prevention. Network-level tools like PingAim's WFP driver are not affected.
How do I fix FragPunk desync and shot registration issues?
Desync in FragPunk — where shots visually connect but don't register — is almost always a latency/jitter issue. First, check your ping using the performance overlay (Settings > General > Performance Metrics). If ping is above 60ms or jitter is high, switch to wired Ethernet and ensure no background apps are eating bandwidth. If ping is still high, the problem is likely your ISP's routing path to NetEase servers — this is exactly what PingAim fixes by replacing that path with an optimized route.
What is FragPunk's Shard Card system?
The Shard Card system is FragPunk's signature mechanic that modifies match rules each round. Before each round, players earn Shard Points (from kills, assists, and pickups) and spend them to activate cards from their hand. Cards can do things like make all bullets home in on enemies, cause all damage to explode in AOE, teleport bomb sites, change gravity, or dozens of other rule-altering effects. Over 150 Shard Cards exist, and both teams can activate cards simultaneously, creating chaotic but strategic round-by-round variation.

PingAim detects FragPunk automatically
No manual config. PingAim identifies FragPunk by process name and routes it through your fastest connection using a kernel-level WFP driver.
