Not bad at all!
I think you will not receive any latency related issues in the game
26-04-2018 - Minor updates
The 24th of April there was some maintenance going on on all Boundless Gameservers as published by Blake:
https://forum.playboundless.com/t/server-maintenance-tuesday-24th-starting-at-07-30-utc-completed/13060/2
Under the hood there were some DNS, URL and Port changes that had to be updated for the Boundless Status page and Ping Test to keep working. These changes have been rolled out on the 26th of April 19:25 UTC.
In case someone experienced errors on the site the last 2 days, this was caused by this update, please try again now
Do you still maintain your service?
Currently Iβm not, buy I ofcourse can when there are people interested in it.
Could stil be usefull, for statistics or for issues weβre facing today where Steam is having issues and Valve nor Steam is posting anything about itβ¦ Boundless now just gives an error after starting: Unable to log in Boundless account. Please try again later. Connecting (Error: 3)
Havenβt had any replies last year. For now, it is what it is. No new updates planned. Might reconsider when local universe option comes available.
Iβm happy you are still here and have it available. This would have been helpful a few days ago when everything was slow and @james said there was βInternet Weatherβ.
Thatβs sad, hope that issue has been resolved. Still like building things like this, so might put it back live in the future if there is a need. It will need a technical redesign though as the current solution is scaling very badβ¦
Little update for some who are experiencing issues with the Boundless game servers.
I did not mange to update the old website yet, so I created a Windows batch script to do some oldskool reporting about latency. It also includes additional troubleshootings data.
I present to you all a first public version of a boundless report tool.
Please report your issues in this thread or by DM.

Hey,
Some suggestions & ideas:
have a 3rd option for βquickerβ tracert with:
set tracert timeout per probe to 1000ms (-w 1000)
Since default is 4second timeout, and with the amount of non-responding TTL hops (or ttl filters) towards the Boundless servers⦠it can take quite a while to time out every hop x 4seconds x 3
And for all tracert options:
set tracert max hops to 50 (-h 50)
etc: tracert -h 50 -w 1000 gs-live-euc1.playboundless.com
Maybe add note above the IPv6 section, that it is okay to fail if no IPv6 Support running. Meaning, this is aimed to be run by most so to not worry people.
Also maybe an extra option that will keep swapping between 2 ping targets. Etc 8.8.8.8 & 1 of the regional servers. So it provides visual to a different location + the server of interest. to just leave it running for 100000 probes etc⦠so it is something players can turn on, and leave running. then go have a look at it when something is screwy ingame. (timestamp per entry would be an idea ) even writing directly to log-%date%.txt etc etc
1 Recommendation towards users of the script, run the full status once while boundless is working well for you. So you have a βbaselineβ to compare with when stuff then isnβt running great.
Thank you for your suggestions @Huntsman , thatβs some usefull feedback as this script was made in just a single morning ;-). Iβll work through them and update the script.
About your last idea, to have a continuous loop running. Thatβs something I would like to prevent as it willl be spamming ALL boundless servers. So maybe I have to rework that a bit before doing so, for example just pinging a single server.
I could also try to convert this to a real desktop application with GUI. However Iβm not sure people would run an .exe downloaded from βsome guyβ on the forumsβ¦
Future of the status page
The original status page was made just to see if the Boundless servers had issues and that it might be on your end or not. Not sure how to move along with that status page project. Itβs nice, but not something that was used very often. The application needs some better architecture and a migration to new server hardware as wellβ¦ Which costs resources, time and money.
Edit:
Iβve updated the script to v0.4 to include the IPv6 note + an additional report option for faster trace routes. Both diagnostic reports now use a hop limit of 50 in stead of 30 (which was not enough to reach Amazon webservices). Thanks again @Huntsman.
