Connection Issues During the Fate Trigger Test

Because this Holiday Technical Playtest only opened servers in Japan and the U.S. West, players in other regions will need to connect over long distances, and will inevitably encounter:

• High ping, especially across regions
• Lag spikes during intense matches
• Occasional disconnects

Fix the Connection with GearUP

If you are going to participate in the test, try GearUP — it can help you easily and quickly improve connection stability and solve latency issues. Using its proprietary intelligent multi-route technology, GearUP will determine which nodes are more suitable based on your network conditions and automatically complete the connection, significantly reducing Fate Trigger’s lag. Its optimization is precise down to each server and is adapted to Fate Trigger’s online modes, making its effect far more stable than other tools.

You only need a few simple steps to easily complete this optimization:

1. Search for Fate Trigger.
   
2. Select a server — for this test you need to choose the Japan or U.S. server.
   
3. Start the boost, then launch the game. During play you can at any time view real-time ping, packet loss rate, and connection information through GearUP.
