Chicago (Proxied)

Post by Edge100x »

We added a new location recently called "Proxied Chicago" which is available for certain game types and causes fast query responses to go out to players from every location. Some GSPs call this "anycast". We talk more about in a FAQ entry.

The location is still in beta and performance will improve over time as we make tweaks and adjust our upstream blends to be more uniform across locations.

If you have the chance, please give it a try and let us know how it works for you! Standalone game servers can be ordered, and managed game server customers in Chicago can order up to two servers per VDS/machine during this beta.

If I have an NY managed machine, is the only way to participate in the beta by getting a standalone gameserver in Chicago (Proxied) location?

A service in Chicago would be the only way right now, yes -- either standalone or on a managed machine/VDS. We may expand this to other locations later but we are testing with Chicago in the beta.
