Known Lag Problems
These problems are reported by real players. If your region or ISP is listed, a network optimizer is likely to help.
South America
150-300ms to Americas (US Central) post-March 2026 merge- SA-East region was merged into Americas (US Central) on March 12, 2026 — South American players now connect to US-based servers with significantly higher latency
- Players in Brazil previously had dedicated SA-East servers; post-merge they face 150-300ms to US Central depending on ISP routing
- Brazilian ISPs (Claro, Vivo, NET) have inconsistent routing to AWS US-East infrastructure
- Amazon Games cited low server population as reason for SA-East merge — indicating player base declined significantly post-launch
Oceania / Southeast Asia
50-150ms SEA to Tokyo; 80-200ms Oceania to Tokyo- All Oceanic and SEA players connect to Asia Pacific Northeast (Tokyo) servers
- Oceanic players (Australia, New Zealand) report 80-150ms to Tokyo — acceptable but not ideal
- Southeast Asian players (Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand) report 50-120ms to Tokyo depending on ISP routing quality
- Steam discussions report 'lag is bad for oceanic players' during public events due to combined distance + server load
- No dedicated SEA server exists — all traffic routes to Tokyo
Eastern Europe / Middle East
40-100ms Eastern Europe to EU Central; 80-200ms Middle East to EU Central- Europe Central servers use Central European time — players in Eastern Europe (Poland, Romania, Ukraine) may experience higher latency depending on where in CE the datacenter is located
- Middle East players (Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Israel) have no dedicated region and must connect to Europe Central with 80-200ms depending on ISP
- Turkish ISPs route inconsistently to Central European AWS regions
- No official datacenter location disclosed for Europe Central — exact city unknown
How to Fix It
Try these first — they're free and solve the problem for most people.
01 Check TL.exe latency in Resource Monitor before committing to a server
1. Launch Throne and Liberty and reach character select 2. Alt-Tab to desktop 3. Open Task Manager → Performance tab → click 'Open Resource Monitor' 4. Go to the Network tab 5. Check the box next to TL.exe 6. In the panel below, look at the Latency column — use the third (highest) value as your ping estimate 7. Compare different character servers to find which region gives the best routing from your location
Helps you identify the server region with the best routing before character creation — can save 30-100ms compared to choosing a random region.
02 Switch to wired Ethernet for castle sieges
1. Connect your PC directly to the router with an Ethernet cable 2. Go to Windows Settings → Network & Internet → WiFi → turn off WiFi 3. Launch Throne and Liberty and check latency in Resource Monitor (resmon.exe → Network → TL.exe) 4. Wired connection eliminates wireless jitter and packet loss
Removes 2-10ms of WiFi latency and eliminates wireless packet drops — critical for dodge timing and stable position during large-scale PvP.
03 Close background bandwidth consumers before large PvP events
1. Pause Windows Update: Settings → Windows Update → Pause for 1 week 2. Pause OneDrive/Dropbox sync from the system tray 3. Close streaming apps (Twitch, YouTube, Discord video) 4. Stop any active downloads (Steam, Epic, browser) 5. Check Task Manager → Network column to verify no other process is using significant bandwidth
Prevents bandwidth competition during castle sieges. Even on a fast connection, saturated upload bandwidth causes packet loss that triggers rubberbanding.
General network tips (not Throne and Liberty-specific)
04 Check your connection using Windows Resource Monitor
1. Launch Throne and Liberty and reach the game world 2. Alt-Tab to desktop and open Resource Monitor (search 'resmon' in Start menu) 3. Go to the Network tab 4. Check the box next to TL.exe 5. In the TCP Connections panel below, look at the Latency column 6. Watch the latency during a world boss or castle siege — spikes confirm network issues 7. If latency spikes but FPS is stable: network problem. If FPS drops with stable latency: hardware issue.
Throne and Liberty does not have a built-in ping display. Resource Monitor shows your actual latency to game servers. Essential first step before trying any fix.
05 Flush DNS and reset network stack if ping suddenly got worse
1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator (search 'cmd', right-click → Run as Administrator) 2. Run these commands one by one: ipconfig /flushdns netsh winsock reset netsh int ip reset 3. Restart your PC 4. Relaunch Throne and Liberty and check ping display
Fixes sudden ping increases caused by stale routing entries or corrupted network state. Fast fix before a scheduled guild war or siege.
Still lagging? The problem is likely your ISP's routing to the game servers.
PingAim detects Throne and Liberty automatically
No manual config. PingAim identifies Throne and Liberty by process name and routes it through your fastest connection using a kernel-level WFP driver.
